Snoop Dogg wins his 3-year battle to visit Britain

 

Rapper Snoop Dogg has humiliated ministers by winning a three-year legal battle to overturn a ban on him entering the U.K.

 

In an embarrassing defeat for the Home Office, the American hip hop star successfully claimed the ban infringed his human right to freedom of expression.

It means that Snoop - who has a string of criminal convictions and has been tried for murder - could be free to return to Britain anytime from yesterday[thursday]

The Government's unsuccessful legal battle - which cost the UK taxpayer in excess of £100,000 - has been criticised as 'an appalling waste of public money' by the rapper's lawyer.
