Lift the ban on Tyler, The Creator from entering the UK
Tyler, The Creator was banned from the UK last August due to lyrics he wrote back in 2009 as a 17 year old that were interpreted as posing a threat to public safety. These songs have not been performed for years and Tyler's message and music is one of inclusion and creativity.
More details here in a post written by his manager, Christian Clancy: http://thephuckery.tumblr.com/post/127650317172/tyler-uk
Please feel free to also look into Tyler's recent fashion show where he talks about being banned.
This man poses no more of a threat to public safety than any musician playing in the UK and the 2005 law that prevents suspected terrorists from entering the UK which caused him banned seems completely inapplicable.
