Kanye West’s ban on entering the UK might lead to a slippery slope, says UK Parliament Member Nigel Farage. During a recent press conference, Farage made it clear that while he doesn’t support West’s past anti-Semitic behavior, he believes that barring individuals from entering the country for their views is a “dangerous path” to go down. “I think that for myself, I wouldn’t buy a ticket, I wouldn’t recommend anyone buys a ticket,” Farage says.
“I think his comments are vile, really vile, the sort of rabbit hole of anti-semitism stroke nazism that he’s gone down is vile. But I think if we start banning people from entering the country because we don’t like what they say, I worry where that ends up.” He added, “If Keir Starmer was to ban people coming into Britain with whose views he doesn’t like, almost nobody would be allowed in. So, I think there’s a dangerous path to go down.”
