The teeny tiny difference is frank turner and emily eavis havent scornfully dismissed the festival for being too middle class.

 

But ... he is right, you know, about the festival.  He said it used to be interesting when it was a real alternative festival, but now it is just a mainstream middle class festival... and at £200+ a ticket, it is hard to argue against him.

So basically its ok as long as you dont have a negative opinion of Glastonbury?

Of course you could then turn your point around and say that people who went to even more expensive schools are approving of Glastonbury, therefore supporting his statement!

At the end of the day, linking someones  school to what they can and cannot say as an adult is stupid.

It's really quite simple.

If you look like this:

 

and say this:

Bruce Dickinson has vowed never to bring his band to Glastonbury Festival after dismissing it as “the most bourgeois thing on the planet”.

Then you're a daft c**t.

Well if he things GF is  “the most bourgeois thing on the planet”

Then he obviously has never actually opened his eyes.

Fuck me, so now its anyone who wears a suit and has a high position in any company! What exactly should he be stood in front of if he is trying to start a company whos product is flying

I have a close (and very lovely) friend from University that went to Oundle. He has a very polished accent but other than that is hard working and down to earth. 

I have other friends from very posh schools and many like me went to (not even very good) state schools. It doesn't define who you are or your entitlement to attend a festival. 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

I went to the local comp where you had to wear a stab proof vest in order to survive double Maths. I should be headlining The Park but sadly have virtually no musical talent at all.

Wow you are really mad that someone doesn't like the bourgeois £200 a ticket, run by multi millionaires, music festival you like.

[Heather90]

No he's pretty gutted he didn't get a ticket for the second year in a row. He made up by buying an engagement ring for his state-educated girlfriend. 

Good job we allow the mixing of the castes!

Down with Thatcher!

So now you're judging people on how they look? Sounds like pretty shaky ground to me. 

Let me ask you this: 

If, instead of wearing a suit, you look like this

and say the same thing, does that make a difference?

If your answer is yes, then you're the daft c**t.

His full quote was this.

“Personally I have no interest in going to Glastonbury,” he told the Daily Star. “In the days when Glasto was an alternative festival it was quite interesting, but anywhere Gwyneth Paltrow goes and you can live in an air-conditioned yurt is not for me.”

Just accept that he doesnt like your festival, and has an opinion that is different to yours

Fixed for you.  You were protesting the current cider supplier, right?

[A Guy Called Matt]

Here is the full quote - which if read in the tone he said it, very tongue in cheek if you find the video makes it a bit different.

 

“Now it [Glastonbury] is the most bourgeois thing on the planet. Anywhere Gwyneth Paltrow goes and you can live in an air-conditioned yurt is not for me,” he said.

do you think not-for-profit glastonbury festival is more or less bourgeois than an aviation company?

 

 

[Heather90]

I'm judging that suspiciously located hole in his t-shirt. Does that count?

Are we say all aviation companies or just one in particular.

There are aviation companies that rescue people - are they bourgeois?

We should all rejoice in the fact that Iron Maiden will never play Glasto. They're fucking shit and Dickenson is a c**t.

depends if you see flying people home who are in afghanistan and stranded in other countries to be bourgeois, but £600,000 of VIP superloos as acceptable

On one side there's an aircraft maintenance, technical support and training services company. On the other a not-for-profit music festival.

Which one do you think sounds closer to the "most bourgeois thing on the planet"?
