The O2 Arena in London has issued an apology after denying entry to a man wearing a 'Free Gaza' t-shirt at a Peter Kay comedy show, citing concerns that the shirt could 'cause danger and disruption'. Security staff insisted on the man changing his shirt or purchasing a new one, refusing to allow him to turn it inside out. The incident, which has gone viral on social media, has sparked outrage and calls for a boycott of the venue, with the couple asserting that they had purchased tickets two years prior. Following the backlash, O2 officials admitted they made a 'judgement call' that was incorrect, emphasizing their commitment to safety and a non-political stance. They clarified that their prohibited items policy does not actually ban political clothing, stating that 'entry should have been granted'. AEG Europe, which owns the venue, expressed regret for any offense caused and acknowledged the need for better decision-making in the future.
