Little Britain creator Matt Lucas is branded ‘a hypocrite’ and blasted for ‘making a killing out of blackface and mocking the disabled’ as he wades in on Kanye West Wireless Festival row

As a longtime fan, I was really disheartened to see Kanye making such hateful statements online – particularly his anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi comments. It was upsetting, and I joined many others speaking out against the festival organizers’ initial decision regarding him.
