Controversial streamer Hasan Piker feels more optimistic about being granted a UK visa under the administration of Prime Minister Andy Burnham. In June, Piker and his uncle Cenk Uygur found their travel permits to the UK canceled by the Home Office 'on the grounds that their presence in the UK may not be conducive to the public good.'
Piker and Uygur were supposed to speak before the South by Southwest (SXSW) technology and business festival in London. They were also scheduled to address the Oxford Union debate society. In revoking the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), the Home Office said the decisions 'are based solely on an assessment of potential risk an individual may pose to UK society.'
