00:00Should he be allowed to headline that event in light of his anti-Semitic remarks?
00:06No, I don't think he should. And I think the organisers have shown a terrible error of judgment in inviting
00:12him and another terrible error of judgment in the statement they've put out,
00:19which tries to give a fig leaf of credibility to Kanye West after a pattern of behaviour.
00:24He released a song called Heil Hitler. He plastered it across T-shirts.
00:32I don't understand why the organisers felt, given his fame, his reach, his influence and rising anti-Semitism in this
00:44country and many others, anti-Jewish hatred,
00:47that isn't just manifesting itself through online abuse and verbal intimidation, which is bad enough.
00:54We have seen in this country deadly attacks like the one in Heaton Park.
