00:00The Wireless Festival has a charter that speaks about how they will not accept
00:04discrimination against anyone based on their religion or race or different
00:08other protected characteristics. But you've got to ask, what does that
00:12even mean if they're inviting someone who describes themselves as a Nazi to
00:16perform and to headline at their festival?
00:18And what do you have to say about Kanye West? I mean, do you think he will want, he said
00:23he wants to
00:23meet with the Jewish community to have lots of talks about peace and kind of
00:28make amends? Do you think he still will want to do that?
00:31Well, we said this morning that we're prepared to meet him as so long as he pulls
00:36out of the Wireless Festival, obviously the Wireless Festival itself has now been
00:39cancelled. We'd still be willing to meet him if he's really genuinely wants to
00:44learn and improve and go on that journey. We'd want to see him withdraw songs like
00:50Heil Hitler and Gas Chamber. We'd want him to see him go on a real journey of change
00:55and improvement. It'd be interesting to see whether he still wants to now that now
00:59that this festival has been cancelled.
