pig flu to close the fest?

[Mr Ploppy]

1)The Scum newspaper is a disgrace, always has been and always will be - justice for the 96.

2)The BBC is a blood-sucking leech on society and I hate the fact that through the BBC I am putting money into the pockets of the aweful Mr McKenzie.

3)If this swine/avian/human flu that is currently doing the rounds is such a danger then it would be spreading like wildfire - it would be rampant... but it is not.

Point 3 is just my opinion, but points 1 & 2 are FACT!

[Pinhead]

The Sun? A bigger joke than the Daily Sport!!

If Glasto is cancelled then does that mean the FA Cup Final, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, Henley Royal Regatta, the British Grand Prix and the British Open Golf Championships will follow suit? I think not!

Muppets!

The newspapers in the UK are an embarrassment to the country and are contributing to the rapid decline in intelligence all over what was once a great country. Damn shame.

[BonnetBird]

This is just a case of all the Sun hacks going down the boozer and inventing a headline around the pig flu pun: Glasto for the "chop".

All the rest is filler!

[Wanderlei]

It's a possibility. But it seems like they have pig flu under controlat the moment.

People need follow the lead of LIVERPOOL and boycot it.

Does's my head in how they have that tw@ Mckenzie commenting on things like question time, the guys a lying prick, what are they thinking at all? The bbc is going rapidly down the pan.

[strudders]

+1 I wouldn't wipe my arse on The Sun for fear of making it shittier!

Sun aside however, and though fully aware this virus is clearly not as virulent as first believed, I could easily see the government doing the PR stunt of cancelling Glasto to look as if they care about public health, whilst permitting all the money making taxable betting related events such as football matches, and all the toff events such as Ascot (so as not to upset their school chums), go ahead.

[Pinhead]

"However I bet a music festival is the easier target!"

Exactly - that's what concerns me. Easier to cancel a non-profit making event like Glasto for a PR stunt than all those Corporate profit making events that the government makes millions in tax over.

[joshwarrr]

I doubt it will get cancelled. if it does i might just pop along anyway and pretend.

[MarkDavis]

Haha...

why do people believe this crap! haha

[ukslim]

Better scrap the FA cup final, the play off's, Goodwood festival of speed, The F1 Grand Prix, Air shows, it goes on and on.

[beergut100]

Whatever happened to the Drug Tzar?

[shazbam]

So this is another reason for you not to read the Sun - apart from the 1000's of other reasons.

On the bright side, there'll probably be a lot less Sun readers there this year.

Good stories there stagger. A bit of a positive for a change. The story in the sun has been ripped off from an xfm article nearly two weeks ago. The Sun need to get a grip and write some more relevant stories.

[Mr Ploppy]

just a note on point 2 ..........arnt you supporting the bbc? thought radio 1 stage was at glasto???????????looks like you sold out m8

[remote]

Why on earth anybody still reads the S*n is beyond me. Nothing like a bit of scaremongering though, eh.

[KyleP]

Some fantastic comments on here. It's great to know that people outside of Liverpool are not all fooled by the lies this gutter rag prints (and I'm not refering to the cancellation of Glasto here).

The boycott is still going strong and Merseyside. Dont Buy The S*n

NEVER forgive. NEVER forget
