If the festival doesn't cancel him first, this is such an easy PR win for Starmer which he desperately needs atm. The second the visa app goes in they can block it like the Aussies did last year. It's got near-unanimous support in among the major parties and no opposition.

Ooft. 
I bet Wireless ends up getting cancelled by the organisers now.

Booking a nazi sympathizer is even weirder

Like I said, he apologized and now it's up to him to prove he meant it. And until he convincingly does so, he'll continue to face the consequences of being an absolute POS for years

Yeah, I think he'd be facing less problems at the moment if he'd just say what he's done with the profits from the Hitler merch.

Until he actually does something to demonstrate actual interest in redeeming himself, no one is going to let him off just because he said sorry.

It's wild how people are saying "he apologized let's move on", like he accidentally stepped on someone shoelace or something. America is weird

I'm shocked they haven't dropped him by now. Like is it worth losing all that backing and respect as an event because of a n*zi piece of ****?!

and the apology came at the same time as the announcement of the deal with the new record label and the official announcement of the album's release date and after all the major venues across Europe had rejected requests from him to perform

They issued a statement saying they are standing by him.
But it's possible that they simply can't afford it, because even if they dropped him, they'd still have to pay him the fee.
