Keir Starmer ‘is not a bystander’, says Campaign Against Antisemitism as it calls on PM to stop rapper entering UK
Kanye West should be banned from entering the UK to perform at Wireless festival, the Campaign Against Antisemitism has urged.
The Jewish charity is the latest voice to join calls for the rapper’s performance to be cancelled following his antisemitic remarks and raises doubts about whether the music festival, due to take place in London’s Finsbury Park in July, will go ahead.
Keir Starmer joined criticism of the festival at the weekend, saying it was “deeply concerning” that West had been booked to perform “despite his previous antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism”.
In a post on X, the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “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.
