"The British government has blocked Ye from entry on the grounds that his presence would not be conducive to the public good...."

"Prime Minister Keir Starmer called it 'deeply concerning' that Ye was scheduled to perform 'despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism.' 'Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent and must be confronted clearly and firmly wherever it appears... Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe and secure.'"

I'm reading "London music festival canceled after Britain bans headliner Kanye West/The move comes after days of mounting controversy over past antisemitic statements made by the rapper, now known as Ye" (WaPo).

West has apologized and stated "I love Jewish people," but he did sell swastika T-shirts and release a song called "Heil Hitler."

Spinal Tap and 'Fear of a Black Hat' come to life!

"We're not anti-white."

"But your latest album is called 'Kill Whitey'...."

If only Starmer had said "and there will be no Stonehenge reconstructions, big or small, on any UK stage, either!" CC, JSM

Prince Harry wore a Nazi uniform to a party in 2005, but he can probably enter England OK.

Paraphrasing from Howard, antisemitism they don't like.

Peachy ayon kay ...

LOL. The Islamic Republic of the UK cannot handle a black rap star who said dumb sh*t once?

Please. Starmer is a theater kid.

Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe and secure.

Unless, of course, young Jewish kids are being groomed/raped. Then they are on their own.

Kanye should simply join a Pakistani Rape Gang. He'd be welcomed with open arms.

"Antisemitism in any form is abhorrent except for the Islamic kind, which is pretty great, if you ask me"

Peachy ayon kay ...

Leftwing power whores who allow Islamic males to do whatever they want in the UK in exchange for votes...

Big Mike ayon kay ...

It’s the darkness of his skin — the Labour government itself contains plenty of antisemites. If his skin had been the same shade of brown as your average Paki he’d have been okay.

Lazarus ayon kay ...

Will Michael Savage, also put on Britain's baddy list, send condolences to Ye?

Rearranging the deck chairs...

Peachy ayon kay ...

"re-arranging the deck chairs" ? huh? why would that tired phase be useful here?

"Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe and secure.'"

Starmer, in league with his predecessors, said that with a straight face after bringing in millions of seething, welfare-dependent, Jew-hating Muzzies?

Enigma ayon kay ...

They feared Ye would attract the Palestinian and Iranian crowd. Greta Thunberg would have brought along all her autistic friends and the blue octopuses.

It would have been a glorious farce.

Peachy ayon kay ...

gspencer - Indeed he did. We noticed.

Easy to take in out on YE - because didn't YE once support Trump? YE is tainted!

Mike (MJB Wolf) ayon kay ...

It is highly ironic given they bend over backward to ignore islamic hate crimes. Every day. And prosecute Brits who complain about muslim crime.

The queen is dead.

"... he did sell swastika T-shirts and release a song called "Heil Hitler."
So you're saying he's now a Democrat. Did he get the tattoo?

Jupiter ayon kay ...

"why would that tired phase be useful here?"
I think Howard was suggesting that Starmer's efforts to save Britain from the rising tide of antisemitism by excluding Kanye West is unlikely to prove effective.

Jupiter ayon kay ...

And perhaps also that the UK is a sinking ship.

Joe Bar ayon kay ...

Ye's "Heil Hitler" song is actually pretty good, if you listen to what he's saying.

Levi Starks ayon kay ...

As punishment I’m going to require Starmer to watch a Monty Python movie a day until he’s finished the entire collection.
And also I just realized while saying it mi my head with a German accent how funny “Keir Starmer” sounds.

This should make it easier for people who want to ban Muslims from the West.

Can you imagine the reaction to the creation of a new Secretary For Women's Behavior Change?

Howard ayon kay ...

April's pretty slow on the uptake. Given the flooding of antisemitism Muslims rammed through the hull of England with glee by the Labour party, they decided to ban little old contrite mental midget Ye.

So yeah, Starmer is straining gnats while letting camels pass (pun completely accidental). Do you get me, sweetheart?

Come on man. Everyone knows the iceberg is Jewish. It's right there in the name. Goldberg, Steinberg, Iceberg.

Saint Croix ayon kay ...

Jaime, you need a drummer.

Here is Gilbert Gottfried, trying to tell a Jewish joke to Bob Costas, on the air.

I almost missed the punchline (starts at 6:42). But the amusing part is Bob Costas crawling on the floor, trying to run away. And Gottfried laughing so hard at his own joke, he has trouble finishing it.

The last two minutes is Bob Costas, which is pretty funny.

Kanye Isn't a Threat To British Jews

That's a very good article.

Saint Croix ayon kay ...

I've been giving Starmer a hard time. But I think he legitimately does not like anti-Semites. Antisemitism: recent government actions and next steps. I also found out that he evicted Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour party. Good for him.

Nonetheless, his immigration policies are a liberal disaster. And instead of fixing its immigration problem, the UK decided to start punishing speech crimes on the internet. "Stop the music and the artists, that will fix it."

"Everyone has a responsibility to ensure Britain is a place where Jewish people feel safe and secure.'"

What a ridiculous thing to say. Does "everyone" have a responsibility to make sure Britian is a "safe and secure place" for Catholics, Muslims, or Hindus? Do Jews in Britain have "responsibility" to make sure Anglicans are "Safe and secure"?
What about atheists, are they feeling OK? If not, Starmer had better get on the job.

Even more absurd is the idea that Ye, a rich American musician, is a threat to anyone.

Looking at the crime stats, the rape gangs, and the lenient sentences handed out, it seems Starmer isn't interested in making England a "Safe and comfortable place" for average Britions. Which is one reason why Labour is going to be wiped out in the next election.

RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...

Of course if you read the UK newspapers online, you know England is now a country where you sentenced to 3 years for a "racist tweet" while muggers and burglars get probation and light sentences. Even the Rape Gangs get off lightly. Literally insanity fair.

Did they ban that hamas fanboi musician (rhetorical)

A bad day for the bipolar.

If only he had claimed mild anxiety instead -- the government would have given him a PIP payment, a new car on mobility, and sent him on his way.

So Keir finally found a foreigner he didn't want to let into the country.
