Should Keir Starmer ban Kanye West from coming to the UK?

It is just a word I used. I, as anyone on here would know, tend not to follow fashion or the 'in' thing.

It's a good one all round!

So, as I understand it, if Mr Starmer allows Mr West to come to Britain, he has " no backbone", and if he refuses entry, he is "performative".
Is there anything he could do regarding this gentleman which would meet with the approval of these posters?
Perhaps they could suggest something?

That seems to be about the size of it. It's been like this since the GE. I can't be bothered to engage with it any more.

From what I can see, the majority of people on this thread support starmers decisions, it is

Oops. Support Starmers decision, it is therefore fine to have opinions that don't support him on this issue.

Yes ferry, I can pretend I don't know if that is what you want. People know fine well what is influencing the rise in antisemitism in this country. It is not
Kanye west.
It is a mixture of Islamic extremism and the 'progressives' excusing/ tolerating that.

Well I certainly agree with that!

I don’t think people are saying that KW is responsible for antisemitism, but he certainly tries to perpetuate it, which is why I think KS made the right decision in banning him. Doing so won’t make it go away, but perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good, and banning him was a good thing IMO. If nothing else it shows that his behaviour is not sanctioned by the state.

Doodledog 👏👏👏

Does that mean you don’t support the ban?

Agreed.

Why say “ I like Jewish people” ?
