Wireless Festival to Search Attendees For ‘Offensive’ Clothing That Promotes ‘Cultural Appropriation’
People attending the Wireless Festival in London will be searched on entry for “offensive” material, which includes clothing that promotes “cultural appropriation”.
Yes, really.
Ticket holders showing up for the rap and hip-hop event in Finsbury Park will be scrutinized for “clothing/garments/items which promote cultural appropriation,” with such items presumably being confiscated.
“The information on Wireless’s website does not specify which items of clothing fall under the ban – raising questions over whether the prohibition extends to sombreros or keffiyeh scarves, a symbol of the Palestinian cause,” reports the Telegraph.
Yeah right. If they banned those, half the audience wouldn’t even get in.
Speculation is that the organizers are following a similar policy to the Reading Festival, which banned people from wearing sombreros because they might have offended Mexicans.
The newspaper even suggests that white people wearing their hair in dreadlocks may be frowned upon as offensive to black people (despite dreadlocks having originated in ancient Egypt).
“Persons suspected of carrying items that may be used in an offensive or dangerous manner, or carrying out illegal activities within the arena or other parts of the site may be searched at any time,” states an advisory on the festival’s website.
Meanwhile, former Oasis legend Noel Gallagher accurately summed up the kind of people who play at and attend summer music festivals with an amusing quote.
“It’s getting a bit woke now, that place, and a bit kind of preachy and a bit virtue-signalling. I don’t like it in music — little fucking idiots waving flags around and making political statements and bands taking the stage and saying, ‘Hey guys, isn’t war terrible, yeah? Let’s all boo war. Fuck the Tories man,’ and all that,” Gallagher told the Sun.
“It’s like, look — play your fucking tunes and get off.”
“It’s too much. Donate all your money to the cause — that’s it, stop yapping about it.”
“Let’s just say for instance the world is in a bit of a fucked up place and you’re all in a field in Glastonbury. What’s the problem with that? I haven’t got a problem with it.”
“I guess if you’re 18 and you’re middle class you might have a problem with it.”
“But what’s all the kids in a field at Glastonbury going to do about it?”
“Everybody knows what’s going on in the fucking world, you’ve got a phone in your pocket that tells you anyway.”
“What is the point of virtue-signalling?”
