UK government bans Kanye West from entering country

He sells tickets and that’s all that matters to them as a company

"We have no concerns about the guy who publicly raved about loving Hitler" is a pretty damning conclusion.

Forget the stakeholders. Who tf is buying Ye tickets after all this? Probably the same people who still buy Teslas and stan for Elon.

Stakeholders = rich people. Most of them are Nazis too. At best they just don't give a shit as long as the cash keeps rolling in.

Probably a load of old white men with no idea what’s actually going on. Just looking at financial statistics

The money rock

What Artemis news!? I can't find anything out of the ordinary

A consequence for the rich and famous. It's so beautiful...

The best news was Ye going with Artemis crew and staying back.

Imagine being banned mid flight and ending up like Tom Hanks in The Terminal. He just has to live out his days cleaning himself in an airport bathroom and living off duty free

Rest of Europe too, please.

You made him, you keep him. 

Doubt it, your current administration is probably proud of him

Wasn't there a leaked nazi group chat in the administration talking about gassing people? Isn't there a florida college frat that was named a nazi heaven or something? I think half of the US actually really like him.

Over his what, his freedom of speech? The guy has some pretty awful views, but he also has a right to those views lol

planet... ban from the planet. go be the first permanent resident, on your live from the moon tour, yeeze

The US does not have the moral authority to ban anyone anymore. We see the POS that it has become

The rich literally think they can do and say what they want, it’s good to see repercussions. Now do Elon

It’s wild he has such a lack of self awareness.

Multiple stakeholders I guess didn’t include the biggest sponsor Pepsi who dropped the festival in response to his announced headlining

Blows my mind how anyone, let alone a black person could even think about supporting nazi’s… like what?!

I mean, my friend who works in domestic violence support loves Chris Brown and went to see his concert recently. People are weird

Well he was selling that Nazi merchandise to someone. Safe bet to say some of them are in that sub.

The Kanye sub was hand waving it at peak nazi rhetoric…now they want to tell you everything is good and that ye has shown the utmost contrition, and oh….havent you heard? Hes mentally ill and that just easily defaults to antisemitism (and anti-black).

I read the sub because of your post and it is stupid on steroids. People there act like he is God's gift to music and political commentary. Kanye is a troll and an idiot, nothing more. Also, that sub is poorly moderated. They have multiple threads on the same topic instead of consolidating them. It's a mess.

Women work jobs to earn money to give to Chris brown. The same people who will take all the toilet paper and hoard it in a pandemic. Morons.

They wave it off due to his mental illnesses. Problem is he literally never stops being shitty so it’s not really a great point lool

It's more pathetic that people are more upset with Chappel Roan and that hotel incident and even after it's been proven that she didn't do it and the guard wasn't hers compared to a literal nazi having a top selling album and getting extremely close to selling out major concerts. Slightly annoying woman is viewed as at least as bad as self-declared nazi who called for a second holocaust and sold hitler clothing.

He’s never stepping foot in the UK, not without being called to give evidence to parliamentary select committees. Hence why he’ll never come here

He has sold out shows globally... Popular artist sells out shows, more news at 11.

it’s not that hard to figure why he has one of the most consistent and revolution discographies in hip-hop and is probably the most influential artist of the 2000s

He does not just have a few fans, his stadiums sold out and his new album was a best seller

Well you're not going to ban an Englishman from entering England

Tommy Robinson isn't coming into the UK on a work visa.

Tommy Robinson is a UK resident though isn't he? Its a lot different than someone from outside the UK trying to gain entry? He's consistently been in legal hot water, contempt of court, losing appeals etc. What do you mean, "not a peep"? He's had various arrests, prison sentences etc. Martin Sellner (Austria): Leader of the anti-migration group *Generation Identity*; barred in 2018 for posing a "serious threat to the fundamental interests of society" Lauren Southern (Canada) & Brittany Pettibone (USA): Barred in 2018 alongside Sellner to prevent the incitement of racial hatred and community tensions. Pamela Geller & Robert Spencer (USA): Co-founders of *Stop Islamization of America*; banned in 2013 from speaking at a march due to views that could "foster hatred". Geert Wilders (Netherlands): Dutch MP initially refused entry in 2009 for his film *Fitna*, which was judged threatening to public order, though his message has since gained more visibility.  [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-43393035](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-43393035) [https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/combatting-anti-muslim-hatred-uk-statement-to-the-osce](https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/combatting-anti-muslim-hatred-uk-statement-to-the-osce)

Didn't he make a song venerating Hitler? The USA refuses visas for far less, come off it hero. He'd fail the character test in probably every commonwealth country and if he wasn't American I doubt they'd let him in either

Wait until the results of the next general election before you give us too much credit.

Hate speech is illegal there unlike some places

Kinda lame ticketholders if they booked tickets on the back of him being the main act.

He was headlining every day, the british government killed the festival

WTF have the Penguins done!.

Hate the guy but he’s got metal plates in his jaw. You’d look like that too
