    We all know that racism is a problem in society but this halfwit Henry is stroking imaginary flames. Ironic that he made money from taking the piss out of black people.

    Has he said there is anything stopping them? He was asked about places where races don't mix. What should he have said? 'There is nowhere where races don't mix'? or maybe refuse to reply?

    I agree, I just threw that in as a flippant reply as it feels like the whole thing has been done to death.

    One thing I will say though is that I feel comments such as this massively detract and deflect from the real issues surrounding racism and have the complete opposite effect than intended.

    Exactly. Buy hey, I didn't suprise me to see the much lauded BBC throw their narrative spanner into the engine by asking Henry questions that nobody actually cares one jot about. Like how many people going to Glastonbury actually look around the vast 10s of thousands in attendance and ask themselves why there aren't many by brown faces there for the sake of this diversity rubbish. Or how many Asian folk who went to the now defunct bradford Mela asked where all the white women were at? Cant folk just be allowed to do what they want without a sodding agenda being brought up?

    It's hardly surprising it's a white crowd when you look at the line up. There is some ethnic diversity in the line up but that diversity also represents a large part of the musical outliers in the line up which means that there aren't enough acts of any particular genre to entice a large number of fans so the indie/pop/guitar audience (which in this country is almost exclusively white) are the ones who are going to see ~£300 tickets as value for money.

    BBC haven't asked him anything from what I can see. They are reporting on an article he has done for Radio Times

    Perhaps we should cap the white ticket buyers to 50%. That would appease the woke media
