Unlike many I absolutely respect and support a nation's right to deny a VISA to anyone they feel isn't or won't be a fit.

Abramovich has lived and worked in the UK for nearly 20 years and has had to take Israeli citzenship, and he has now withdrawn his visa application and has stated that he will be shelving plans for a new £1 Billion Chelsea Stadium.

Roman Abramovich may have to explain source of wealth to get UK visa - The Guardian

Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich can enter UK on visitor visa but but cannot work, PM says - Sky News

Is Abramovich at last paying the price for being too close to Putin -The Guardian

Roman Abramovich shelves £1bn Chelsea stadium after visa delays - The Guardian

Abramovich may as well sling his hook and sell Chelsea, as he can't work here and can only visit.

Hopefully unexplained wealth orders can be used in relation to many more Putin cronies and Russian Oligarchs, in response to the number of Russian state sanctioned murders on British soil.

In terms of Trump he's playing stupid games with a very dangerous regime and Trump is no match for Putin a former KGB Colonel and chess player, whose two or three moves ahead of the Trump administration.
In the last century some person wrote the new found land will be a safe haven for scammers and scams committed in other countries.

Britain finally waking up? Nah. It's packed with foreigners hiding stolen wealth. This one just happens to be Russian which is the only real reason he's being messed with.

The rest of the rats in the nest have nothing to worry about.

He is right. Swiss for the money and Britain for the lodging. Even few guys from India have found a new home there after scamming back home .

And its not surprising, as the entire country was built on looting others.

Abramovich owns several homes in NYC and spends a lot of time in the US.

We have been here a long time you know. Long before the British Empire. Beautiful churches and fine buildings built many hundreds of years ago.

Looting? We gave as much as we took. Civilisation, the rule of law, railways, good manners. It's a shame some take, and leave nothing but ruin behind them huh?
