Kanye West

[dapsnotplimsolls]

Kanye West blocked from visiting the UK.

Am I? I've just queried whether he should be banned or not. That doesn't mean I agree with him. It's called nuance.

But they don't do it for everyone. Donald trump gets to meet the royal family.

Realpolitik.

Brilliant news.

Wouldn't it have been better to let him perform and arrest him if necessary?

he's expressed remorse and suggested meeting with members of the Jewish community in the UK

I'm aware. He's apologised though. (In response to his rampant anti-semitism.)

I was thinking this morning that they should let him perform if he can somehow prove he's on his meds.

But you don’t like him and are not fighting his corner. Why all the defensive posts then? He’s fake apologised and offered to meet the very people he was horrendous towards .. and that makes him okay?? Get a grip.

Yeah i'm not surprised by this at all

I was shocked he was even announced as the headliner!!

I hard agree that when he is mentally ill, he says abhorrent shit: I note nobody cancelling him after he judged black people for being slaves for hundreds of years. But anyway

Imo he was in crisis and was exploited by the right wing lot to go full on nazi. Whatever you believe, blowing up your legacy like that doesnt happen to a sane person.

I just feel sorry for him. I dont think he can come back

Saw but not sure how true it is that it was inquired about him playing at Tottenham staduim..which if true surely someone on his team must have seen the many reasons why that wasnt going to happen

Don;'t we all find it utterly bizarre that Starmer bothered issuing a statement about Kanye, yet has stayed silent on Trump and his terrifying threats since Easter Sunday? Genuine question!

He didn’t issue a statement, it was a short social media post. That’s not how you deal with Iran

Precisely my point.....

What could he possibly say that would be helpful without provoking Trump to greater excess?

I think this is a positive move for the government too little has been done to deal with the growing antisemitism

will it harm his career I doubt it he is still hugely popular not just because he is extremely talented but people like that he is controversial even if they do not agree with his views

I think any one of us could answer this, his threats have reached dangerous levels and we/our PM, should not be supporting this level of terror. Put simply, at best this is not presidential conduct, at worst this is threatening to wipe out Iran, how much do we continue to tread on eggshells around Trump? He needs to be removed, he is not for office this is clear.

Starmer/ the international community can’t remove trump.

West is due to do other shows in Europe. It'll be interesting to see if those dates go ahead.

Why? He’s an arse.

I don't like him, I don't agree with what he's said, I'm just not sure it was right to ban him. I don't need to get a grip, thanks.

Feel free to read all my posts.

The festival sponsors pulled out

I thought he now preferred to be referred to as YE ? Which anyone who has studied medieval English knows is a shorthand euphamism for penis !

Yeah the UK can stop him and his very odd dressing wife, but cant stop the boats.

He’s not stopped. He’s been refused a work visa

as I said before, he still come and do it illegally and face the consequences of that if he wants, as “boats” do

And of course, he can enter theUK on a tourist visa as any other American, legally.

Good decision .

I reckon kanye should come out as the gay man he is

Then his mental health problems will lessen

Ooh!
