"The prime minister is right to be deeply concerned that Wireless festival wants to headline someone whose anti-Jewish bigotry has gone as far as recording a track titled Heil Hitler less than a year ago."
"The government can ban anyone from entering the UK who is not a citizen and whose presence would not be conducive to the public good. Surely this is a clear case."
"Pepsi and Diageo have withdrawn their sponsorship of the festival in response to West being announced as the headline act for all three nights."
"West has been criticised for making a series of antisemitic remarks, including voicing admiration for Adolf Hitler."
The Campaign Against Antisemitism has urged for Kanye West to be banned from entering the UK for the Wireless festival due to his antisemitic remarks. Keir Starmer expressed concern over West's booking, highlighting his history of anti-Jewish bigotry. The charity emphasized that the government has the authority to prevent entry for individuals whose presence is not conducive to public good. Major sponsors like Pepsi and Diageo have withdrawn support for the festival in light of West's performance announcement, while PayPal will not feature in future promotions.
