There’s a petition to rename Canterbury West railway station after Kanye West

A commuter is campaigning to rename Canterbury West railway station after popular American rapper Kanye West, reports the Canterbury Times.

Mark Kilner is petitioning Canterbury City Council and Southeastern trains to rename the station after “the greatest human being of our time” and finally give him “the respect he deserves”.

The petition, which has nearly 900 supporters, states that:

“I see this as the first step towards a brighter future when the whole of Canterbury is renamed after Kanye (wealth be upon him); visitors can come and go via Kanye West Station or Kanye East Station (or indeed, Kanye Bus Station), pilgrims can flock to Kanye Cathedral to pay homage to the great man, and the sick and the injured can be healed at Kent and Kanye Hospital (I’d love to see the “Kent” in that last one changed to “Kim” but I accept that might be a step too far for some people).”
