Wireless Festival cancelled after Kanye West blocked from coming to UK - Feddit UK

Lemmy

great news!
Britain won’t rest until the only entertainment left is morris dancing and reruns of Fawlty Towers
As a former Morris dancer, I would absolutely attend a festival where the headliner is a Morris side.
Better than 95% of entertainment these days and I don’t care about morris dancing.
Too bad 🛎️🏏
It’s nice to see the wicked get punished every now and then. It gives me some hope.
Being banned from the UK is like the opposite of a punishment.
What are you on about? Don’t believe the news and social media posts. It is fine here. It’s not perfect but it’s not a punishment to come here
It’s full of British people.
Yeah! Couldn’t be any worse than Ohio
no lardy cake left for you then fatso

Well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of his terrible choices.

Doesn’t matter tho. He still has plenty of fans willing to fork over hundreds of dollars to “separate the art from the artist.” Maybe people should stop doing that?

When you stop separating the art from the artist you have to blacklist a lot of them. Many of them are incomplete human beings with terrible personality traits.
I suggest you do that
I’m not there for them. Its why I don’t want to know about them at all.
Hahahahahaha
They couldn’t just get a new headline act?
It’s likely that most acts decent enough to headline are already fully booked for the summer.
The sheer fact he was the “headline” to began with was sad.
still a huge audience out there for him, the uk has prevented all types of people from entering the country in the past including jews including members of the israeli government www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8xgk1ek19lo
UK sanctions far-right Israeli ministers for 'inciting violence' against Palestinians

Five countries place travel bans on Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

Members of the isreali government makes sense. I don’t think that’s the gotcha you may be thinking.
I imagine there’s a clause in the contract that he gets paid in full if they cancel him, but only a small %age if they cancel the whole thing.
Well the point is that he should never have been the headline to start with.
And now all the sponsors have pulled out, because they don’t want to be associated with a festival that is promoting a person like Kanye.
Honestly, I still have hope for him eventually. People are complicated. But I’m ignoring him for a few years. Don’t give a shit what his new music sounds like, or anything he has to say. He dropped his apology, now’s the time to sit in the background and show the world he means what he says. Words are useless, have to be backed up by actions now. And I’m tired of hearing about his acions. He needs to learn to shut the fuck up for a while.
Actions have consequences, the more rich people that are forced to learn that the better.
Again we have the UK to thank for stopping Nazis.
