We condemn the absolutely unjustified and unacceptable acts of violence, threats and intimidation directed at ethnic minorities, faith communities, and immigrant communities in recent days.
If you Do Not want to cancel your Festival because you booked a Nazi to headline it, Do Not book a Nazi to Headline your Festival.
Festival advice there.
Kanye West has been banned from entering the UK to play Wireless Festival, as it would have been terrible to have a prominent public figure going round Finsbury Park condoning antisemitism
This is the full statement that was just released by the boss of the company which runs the Wireless festival.
I have some thoughts on it, and so I'm going to do a thread on it:
I see that along with the usual troll-reactions justifying this morning's attack with reference to the actions of a state 4000 miles away, there's also now a fair amount of far-right "this is all your fault because immigration is a Jewish idea you Jewish cunt" posts. Interesting.

Some may be surprised by how all the men in @louistheroux 's Manosphere doc turn out to be antisemites, but it follows from their logic. First, obviously, Jew hatred is clickbait, but more importantly, these men promote versions of themselves as brave mavericks unafraid to stick it to the feminised liberal Establishment - and as such, they need an embodiment of power to kick against - one that they, in their I-donโt-give-a-fuck performance, are smashing through. They need the myth of the Matrix. They begin with women as the control but soon they move on to Jews, who provide a darker mythology of control for them to perform being not-controlled by.
