Kanye West

Kanye West blocked from visiting the UK.

Really? When does that end then? World is about to burn, hell, forget schools, NHS then. Sod it, none of it matters! Right, thats me off to pillage the neighbours, nobody cares!

This is literally their job though isn’t it? People are denied work visas/ entry visas every day of the week. It’s not exactly extra work to ban Kw.

Of course this is good news hes a racist scumbag.

It was a little glimmer of hope after 2.5 years of feeling utterly unwelcome here. I am glad to see there is actually a limit to what is encouraged.

I have never heard of someone’s manic episode meaning they become a bigot for TWENTY YEARS, saying many different things at many different times, apologising for nothing and releasing an actual track praising Hitler of all things. This isn’t a random and instantly regretted comment at the pub that was recorded by a random
person, this was years and years and years of this nonsense.

Good. I don't think we need to welcome people promoting Nazism in the name of free speech.

I'd have thought they could renegotiate with the sponsors now Kanye isn't coming. It definitely sounds like a Wireless flounce to me.

Why would members of the Jewish community want to meet Kayne West? Do you think rehabilitating his image is a top priority of theirs?

Anyone wanting to see him perform needs their head examined.

What do you mean by flounce though? They’re just a business. What do you think, they’re going to go bankrupt to show their support of kayne west? Of course not. Maybe, just maybe, putting on a massive commercial festival is more complex than we imagine

Perhaps they thought it may be a positive way of overcoming the growing hate & danger they face daily? Perhaps they were kind enough to see there may be value in his followers seeing some much needed corrections on his part? Is this not a tad bigger than his career? We have a whole generation of 20-somethings who have all been fed via social media appalling hatred, this could have been an opportunity to turn on that trend?

Sometimes an apology is sincere, sometimes it's not, and like many others I don't believe that West is sincere - he's trying to sell records, so will say whatever will help to raise his profile.

He has form for alologising for his anti-semetic statements but then continuing to make them, so I don't think I'm being unreasonable in questioning his remorse.

And why should the Jewish community want to meet with him, to help his PR.

As for Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson, they're British, can't deport them.

A good thing, he is a hateful man and a massive antisemite. His big apology came out ahead of his album, clearly a pr person being like let’s draft this up.

Maybe. Although I've heard a couple of sickening comments from surprising quarters about that.

Massive shame with Ye. I’m a huge fan of his music, some albums are a stroke of literal genius. The album he failed to release last year was shocking, and not in a good way. Some older songs really pushed the limits, thinking of New Slaves for example but Heil Hitler would never ever been acceptable.

He’s just seriously mentally ill and I feel it goes beyond bipolar, I think schizophrenia. He lost it after his mother died and got worse when he married Kim.

I don't like him and I'm not upset. I suggest you read all of my posts.

I don’t think he should have been banned. It seems largely symbolic, and the current Labour Party doing everything it can to distance itself from the Corbyn era.

But if feels like a slippery slope to me — who decides which views are bannable? This gives enormous discretionary power to politicians who are ill equipped to make moral judgements of others.

I agree with this, given that Starmer has largely found it impossible to adopt any opinion wit real conviction, his statement read very weakly. I cannot understand where tis ends and quite who decides what is and is not acceptable when so much hatred is permitted throughout our cities.

I am a fan of not letting disgusting fuckers like KW into our country. That is why we have a visa system. Free speech doesn't mean free from consequences.

I am very happy that, finally, the UK is setting some boundaries. Especially in respect of anti semitism which is absolutely rampant and largely unremarked in the UK.

Does he actually know what Hilter thought of black people or those of mixed race? I suggest he does some research before supporting Hilter. Blacks were considered inferior and many underwent enforced sterilisation to prevent the 'polluting' the Ayrean race. Uneducated and ignorant man.

on the other hand, black athletes from the US who took part in the 1936 Berlin Olympics pointed out that they were allowed everywhere, there were no segregated toilets, drinking fountains or restaurants and they didn't have to sit at the back of buses.

I am hugely in favour of this starting the ball rolling and the government tackling the vile antisemetism we have been seeing. They can start with the Free Palestine marches.

Freedom of speech does not mean what many people think it means.

I actually think he believes he is superior i don't think he sees himself like other people of colour, that is where all the white lives matter and slavery comments stem from. I know i am probably not explaining it right but it is my thoughts on why he behaves how he does.

He’s a fawner. Fight flight freeze fawn. He fawns the racists so they look elsewhere for a target. He’s a bootlicker, and self hating black man

Yes this sums it up better.

Please don’t suggest anything to me. I’ve read your posts, and for someone who apparently doesn’t like him you’re certainly defending his corner 🤷‍♀️
