Rejected petition Ban Azealia Banks from the UK

Recently Azealia Banks tweets many offensive and hurtful comments directed at the United Kingdom - which directly mocked our culture and our beliefs. The United Kingdom is home to acceptance and understanding for people from all over the world, whilst the comments made clearly violated this right.

"You know the kind with the hard accents, brown teeth and varicose veins who put extra mayo on their toast???"
