"A few years back I had a bill for unpaid congestion charges and, in a fit of rage, briefly joined the Germanic neopagan organisation Allgermanische Heidnische Front"
"But there do seem to be a number of double standards involved. Musicians and comedians who criticise Israel’s role in the war in Gaza are routinely barred by festival promoters, but Yee’s unambiguous antisemitism seemed, initially, to have been overlooked by Festival Republic, which also promotes Suffolk’s family-friendly Latitude festival, and which is ultimately owned by Live Nation, on whose board sits Richard Grenell, now executive director at Trump’s vandalised and culturally bereft Kennedy Center. All news filth eventually flows toward Donald Trump, it seems, who now stands in a waterlogged field of cess.
In the end, Yee’s right to visit Britain was denied, but he was dealt with more harshly than our own homegrown media-friendly racists, who can hiss “Gas the Jews!” at their Jewish classmates, according to over three dozen witnesses, and dismiss it as “banter” without any evidence of them even being bipolar, and then carry on going on the BBC complaining how they are never on the BBC, despite having claimed to boycott the BBC. Bernard Manning! Bernard Manning!! Bernard Manning!!! Who decides what is unacceptable?"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q3zim7z23au6peneuzup7rrx/bafkreierabcnmk7xtphlqvabja7kwq2pmgoxrlphpcchsgotpvhx4ejfsm)

His latest artciel for @thenerve.news is excellent btw, a particularly well-researched piece on the Ye at Wireless Festival situation. Much better than the surprisingly half-arsed reaction Alexei Sayle gave in this week's podcast.
