Common Ground Cafe

[Octave Doctor]

Wonder if they will be back in the Acoustic Field this year. I know they went missing last year - and - despite their wonderful pancakes - their presence always causes a stir..( a very heated debate on here last time if I recall..)

When were they last at the festival? I'm sure I heard somewhere that they were banned several years ago for having some strange hidden God bothering agenda. Could be wrong though.

Not Glastonbury.......but interesting

I'm sure they were there a few years ago ( I remember being surprised they were back at the time ) we used to be very shocked at the views in the literature on the tables - it was a real late night "pancakes v ethics" dilemma...

The same people run Common Loaf Bakery can often be found at farmers markets in the SW. They didn't return in 2013 as they felt the location they were given in 2011 was hidden away by the cinema and this reduced footfall.

I mentioned Williams Green had opened so maybe they will have applied for there this year. I am not religious BTW, just a lover of good food!

[StoneCircle]

So much so that you are willing to fund misogyny, racism and homophobia to get it!

[Mr.Tease]

Sorry, not getting into this type of discussion on here, go and find someone else to argue your opinion with.

[StoneCircle]

You did post an opinion on a discussion board- I'm not sure what you expected...

[Mr.Tease]

No I didn't, I advised why the cafe which is the topic of this thread wasn't there last year......

Everything we post is an opinion! If people just post about the food side of things, it implies then other issues aren't important or should be ignored, making it your opinion

[windy_miller]

I'm still amazed they are allowed back every year,

The quote is to show how much of your opinion I am interested in - OK? Now go and use your much honed keyboard skills elsewhere!

Apologies for my ignorance and lack of knowledge, but what is so controversial about the Common Ground Café?

[StoneCircle]

No, you must be though, I answered a question I happen to know the answer to. I did not want to start the whole argument on a cafe that for many years has been at Glastonbury.

If answering a question in an opinion then that is news to me.

From the link above "The cafe was a popular meeting point at this year's Glastonbury festival, where sect members gave out literature attacking multiculturalism and blaming Jews for the "murder" of Jesus."

They are absolute tits who use religion as an excuse for homophobic, antisemitic etc views.

I've told them they are tits to their faces, but they are immune to it.
