All last week they were saying: weather on the bank holiday weekend is gonna be shit. Dave’s coming, bringing winds, rain, snow (no joke there was a blizzard in the Herts game yesterday) and generally, weather not fit for tennis. And yet it’s been fab. Every day’s had sunny spells, warmth (almost) and loveliness. Ok, it did rain on me on Saturday morning and I had to put the top on the car at the traffic lights, but otherwise, beautiful. None more so than today. It’s so fab I did the morning, ‘zoom’ t’ai chi session in the garden. Ok, it was fucking freezing, but it looks great out there. That’s the main thing. And it’s uplifting. Its wonderful. Makes you feel so good that you simply have to wonder why so many wars are going on in places where it’s always sunny. Or maybe, always Sunni. Though Iran, obviously, isn’t. It’s the world’s biggest Shia population. But heh, it’s not all about Iran.

Because I can’t tell you how exited that Kanye West is coming to perform at the Wireless Festival this summer. Just down the road in Finsbury Park!!! And although it is geographically just ‘down the road’, conceptually, philosophically and ideologically, it is a truly different world. Firstly; it’s right by Arsenal stadium. That’s a black mark all on its own. It’s also where the country’s most controversial mosque is situated. Where Abu ‘the hook’ Hamza used to preach hate and bile before they imprisoned him and deported him. And thirdly, it’s just a bad place. The karma is wrong in Finsbury Park.

Making it the perfect venue for the artist now known as ‘Ye’. And if you’re wondering what ‘Ye’ means, it means ‘asshole’. Possibly ‘tosser’. As do all recently and often changed names. Anyone who prefaces his name with ‘the artist formerly known as…’ is a nob. John Lennon was only ever ‘John Lennon’.

But that’s not sufficient to ban the man from performing. Whereas proclaiming your own love and support of the nazis and all their ideology, including the elimination of Jews, that’s slightly more significant. Ok, Kanye (I just can’t do that fucking ‘Ye’ thing) apologised. After 3 years of overt antisemitism including a clothing range with swastikas, he profusely apologised. He’s ‘bi-polar’. Ohhhhhh, that’s ok then. Men-taw helf ishoos. That explains EVERYTHING. What we used to call ‘manic-depressive’. Virtually two different people in the same body.

So which one is coming to perform in Finsbury Park? Nice Kanye or Ye-the-total-c**t? Jekyll or Hyde? Bruce Banner or The Hulk?

The sponsors of the Wireless aren’t taking chances, Pepsi and Diageo have already withdrawn their money. Others are following. But being Finsbury Park, they won’t be cowed. They’ll defend an antisemite to the bitter end.

Kier Starmer has said that Kanye shouldn’t be allowed to perform. Possibly not even allowed in the country. I wonder if Kier Starmer knows anyone who could arrange the refusal of entry for this scumbag? If only he was someone like… the man in charge of the whole fucking country!!!, then he could actually, for just once, practice what he preaches, get off his fucking fence and stop ‘Ye’ from stepping off the plane.

On an even bigger level; if you’re too big a scumbag for Kim Kardashian, there’s surely nothing redeemable in your character whatsoever.

Happy sunny Monday
