Instant reaction: Wireless Festival cancelled as Kanye West blocked from entering UK

Wireless Festival has been cancelled after Kanye West was blocked from entering the UK over a series of anti-Semitic comments he made in the past. The planned headline performance by the rapper, now known as Ye, at Wireless this summer had provoked calls for him to be banned from the UK because of behaviour, which has included releasing a song called Heil Hitler and advertising a swastika T-shirt for sale on his website. Now, the Home Office has confirmed the rapper will not be allowed to perform in London this summer, with his presence in the UK deemed "not conducive to the public good." Shortly after the Home Office decision, Wireless and organiser Melvin Benn confirmed the festival would not go ahead and that anyone who had bought tickets would be given a refund. Shelagh Fogarty is joined by Holocaust educator Dov Forman to react to the breaking news.
