Many of the same stereotypes that Boris used in his novel. Controlling the media etc.

There was one sentiment I agreed with that he highlighted. Antisemitism is racism. When did one form of racism usurp another?

For his tweets he's been threatened with jail, the removal of awards and titles earned prior...is this usual or normal for the use of racist tropes?

I'm not condoning what he has said, I haven't seen the tweets only heard what's been reported to have been said with some embellishments. However it begs the question is this response representative across the board on the subject of racist comments?

Jail for typing words on a screen is utterly ridiculous. The rest is basic "cancel culture". Plenty of people -celebs or otherwise- have lost jobs or platforms due to their big mouths.

As for loss of awards? Not entirely sure. At the back of my mind I feel like some rewards have been revoked? I don't know if it's par, people who tweet like that aren't usually award winners

i didn't see the content of the tweets, but if it was inciting violence then that's certainly a criminal offence. The rest of it is down to those that represent/employ him an gave him an award

["We are sorry we did not move faster," Twitter said in a statement.
The escalation comes a day after Facebook and Instagram deleted the music star's accounts for "repeated violations" of their rules.

Twitter said that it has taken a similar step
because the artist had broken its hateful conduct policy.]

Black people can be racist? As the Yanks so, go figure...

Are you suggesting that grime artists are inherently horrible people? That’s an odd take

Releasing grime music is the equivilant to running into a room to let out a horrific fart.

Right, you don’t like the music, but suggesting that the people who release it are bad people is, bizarre to say the least
