In that article: Even though Nigella had not been arrested or convicted over the confession, the US can still ban foreigners who have committed drug offences without being charged.

[jeffa]

No, nor does she need one to be banned from entering the US.

[sandyRoe]

Moral turpitude, I suppose.

[joggerjayne]

Only in the bloody US ...

No conviction needed.

Redneck country!

[joggerjayne]

You KNOW you're a redneck ...

[jeffa]

The US loves to dictate to the rest of the world what is right and what is wrong, but they love celebrities even more! Nigella is on national US TV at the moment and she's got the British accent that the Yanks go gooey over, so I have no doubt that the ban will be overturned very quickly.

Doesn't stop them letting their Coke Heads fly over here, does it?

[emmie]

the Americans have such double standards, i pity her, as i said before i wondered whether they would allow her into the country and now we know, totally stupid rules.

[jeffa]

That's our more progressive / dangerously lax * immigration rules, though, not theirs.

* delete as appropriate.

[emmie]

the woman isn't going to live there presumably, not for good, so can't see what the fuss is about. As mamy says their druggies end up here, actors, musicians, no problem, ours go there, no chance

[joggerjayne]

You might be a redneck ...

who gives a ff?

[emmie]

she owned up to something, she doesn't have a criminal conviction, they have barred her anyway, very poor decision, and could put a kybosh on her American programmes, some will care, some may not, however it's still double standards.

[ummmm]

And yet they produce programmes like Breaking Bad....

Plenty of famous Biritish druggies get in to the US without problems - such as Russell Brand

[tonyav]

Even the president liked a smoke.

I've heard that quite a few Old Etonians and Oxford men have been known to take a snort…………………might make travel to US a problem!
