Allow Tyler Gregory Okonma (AKA Tyler, The Creator) to enter the UK
In 2015, Tyler Okonma (Tyler, The Creator) was denied entry into the UK due to lyrics he wrote from the perspective of an alter-ego. The Home Offce also acknowledged the fact that they were wrote from the perspective of an alter ego.
It is blatant racism that they have banned Tyler for lyrics that were written over half a decade ago, but allow far-right bands that have Nazi sentiments in their lyrics to preform in social clubs up and down the country. What is also preposterous is that The Home Office also acknowledged the fact that it was written from the perspective of an alter ego, thus making Tyler's work no different than that of American Psycho, written by Bret Easton Ellis - a book prominent in modern day literature.
