The welcome dished out to Mike Tyson on his visit to Wales yesterday hard to believe. He was mobbed by crowds in Merthyr Tydfil. as he went to pay his respects to Johnny Owen\s family, before going for drinks with Councillors. His visit was given front page coverage on the Western Mail, who only grudgingly acknowledged that he was 'controversial'.
Controversial! This man is a convicted rapist who served 3 years for an assaulting an 18 year old woman.
It speaks volumes that the public and media are willing to conveniently overlook this while rolling out the red carpet. The celebration in Wales compares with the protests that greeted his arrival in Belfast, where there was plenty of opposition. Any illusion that Wales is fair and equal has just shattered.
