Another stunning, brave and controversial statement from Ed „come at me on FIFA“ Davey.

Nope. And I even say this as a Jewish bloke. We need consistency in our laws. He’s not broken any in the UK, or the USA, so he should be allowed to visit.
Should he make these antisemitic statements when in the UK, he can be charged with them, then he can (possibly) be blocked under existing visa-banning rules.
Our visa and legal systems need consistency; however much of a dick Ye is.
ps. Happy Pesach to my fellow MoTs
I don’t like Kanye AT ALL, but hasn’t he walked back a lot of the nonsense he was saying? He also notably suffers from mental illness and was clearly unwell at the time and off his medication. This just feels like hysterical virtue signalling honestly.
I reckon if we were talking about a Muslim, who said all the things Kanye West has said, as opposed to talking about Kanye West, we’d be seeing a completely different range of comments.

So under that logic foreign laws apply to anyone from the UK before we even go to that country?
It’s stupid and empty to call for this without being willing to accept the reverse to hold true.
If Ed Davey breaks country x law whilst in UK he should be willing to be banned from country x right?
Don’t get me wrong there was a time I regularly listened to Kanye but who in 2026 wants to see him live? No doubt it’ll be terrible and he will start spouting insane nonsense
Id be understanding of that if he still did it and was actively saying it but he walked back and apologised for his comments and hurt a while back, visited rabbis and he seems to be stable and not in bipolar extremes at the moment
And if we are banning people from the UK based on their loathsome speech I think the leader of restore, advance, ukip and most of reform would be good candidates for deportation to mar a lago. They can pay for their own deportation
Load of nonsense, freedom of speech is far far more important than anything Kanye could do or say.
Wow what a throwback. Ed Davey really showing how current he is. Looking forward to his gangnam style dance video in a few weeks.
People love to preach about mental health awareness until it manifests in a way they don’t like.
Hate the guy all you want but he’s apologised, explained why it happened, and is backed up by over a decade of verified medical history and diagnoses. Personally I don’t see why everyone is holding him to account so hard when we give people who do actual physical harm when in a state of mania the understanding and leeway they deserve.
Really not a fan of the increasing number of politicians trying to ban gigs and censor musicians.
