Markjensen Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) So I attended Glastonbury for the first time this year. One thing I noticed is there seemed to be an increase in vandalism, knife crime, and general disrespect in the manner in which people spoke. I then started to notice his was happening in areas near the stages where a Grime act was 'performing'. Studies have also shown that the youth crime rate is increasing year by year, and that these criminals often listen to grime. What it is is an often black British man rapping about his love of drugs, violence and promiscuity. Glastonbury is no place for this to be glorified. I suggest to all parents to disallow their children to listen to this, I for one have spoken my thoughts on this to my sister who has banned her son from it, and he is as respectful and lovely as any child. Tories are always reliable when it comes to having no fear at stopping a disease to our British culture in its tracks (hence brexit) so I expect the recording and distribution of 'grime' to be banned. But until now, at Glastonbury it can no longer remain for the festivals sake Edited July 2, 2017 by Markjensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But until now, at Glastonbury it can no longer remain for the festivals sake My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.’ Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me - ’Don’t ever smoke. Please don’t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it because your post gave me cancer anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious troll is obvious, but I'd have thought they'd have noticed their contradiction in the first sentence. If it's their first time how can they notice an increase in anything? There's nothing to compare it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Lawn Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I'd love to share my feelings on this matter, but sadly I can't as I was murdered by a knife-wielding promiscuous drugged up youth during a grime artist's set. If only I'd stuck with the law abiding salt of the earth fans of every other musical genre, but alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
