Quote weaver93="weaver93"Maybe 'Chris' can clarify, but I'm fairly sure, if the previous conviction
was more than 5 years ago, the visa would be approved? similar to 'Crockergate''"
The conviction may be clear in terms of using that to refuse on its own, but based on the rap sheet Mrs B put up he could still be refused, because the first visa was refused for a conviction and he has been in trouble with the law since even if not formally convicted of anything.
His "character, conduct and associations" may go against him, precisely because he's a loose cannon when he's had a glass of water and a wine gum. The latest incident just adds to the "bad" character and conduct. Even though it isn't a crime, it does leave a bad taste in the mouth (pun intended).
If he wasn't so high profile and declared all his misdemeanours he wouldn't have a prayer of a visa, and to be fair, why should he? The media are full of how we don't want foreign criminals here and let Carney within a sniff of a pint, he can't control himself. Who's to say he won't do something ten times worse if he's here? Do we want FC involved with that?
