Security post london & Manchester

[matt2007]

I have been emailed by the press office that a statement regarding security following these cowardly attacks will be made soon.

Don't let them win!!!!!!

[EamerRed]

If it means extra delays, I can't say I'm too bothered when safety is the number one priority. I'd rather wait a bit longer and not be ****ting myself at every firework that goes off. Having said that, extra checks could be annoying for anyone who likes to take a little 'chemical' motivation into the festival with them.

If it means extra delays they should open the gates at 6am.

I was expecting something to be announced so it's good that it is happening. I am sure there will be a lot of advise around what not to do or bring  so we all need to abide by it to prevent any false alarms ruining the festival.

[matt2007]

Do what they say, do not be a dick and everything will be fine, its those who want us to change what we do/love we need to beat and beat them hard!

funny that flo is on the radio just now doing "you got the love" Love is what it is!

 

[stopwn1981]

Is said statement imminent, today, or sometime soonish do we know?

[ripcurl85]

It will be interesting seeing what they have to say on this topic. I imagine that its not just the two horrendous attacks which have taken place in Manchester and London recently but also the alert at Rock AM in Germany which has led to them feeling there is a need to address the issue head on.

Nah, they're going to be looking for bigger things.  I doubt they'll have much time for dealing with drugs when they're trying to stop people from being stabbed or blown up.

Don't think it'll have any effect. Unless they had full body airport scanners and bag scanners, which they obviously aren't 

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah if anything it'll be easier, if that's your thing, this year

Exactly. They're not going to be diving down into your bag looking for a few pills and some coke. I'd imagine the car stops won't always result in a search, they're just a frightener, and if someone starts get to get nervous or act suspicious then they're likely to poke a bit deeper.

Two daughters with Tickets, one been many times with me the other never been, anyway the newbie one pulled out after the Manchester terrorist attack, unfortunately  to late to get money back. Since the latest London attack her sister has also decided not to go. Tried to reassure them but they are adamant they won't go. So £400 ish wasted. My Glastonbury days are over, shame they won't go,as long as they don't come to Bank of Dad for reimbursement..lol

How are they going to handle getting around anywhere, as I presume they are not going to cross any bridges in future also?

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

I'd agree that this will make it easier not harder to get 'goodies' in. Previously the may have searched less people but more throughly, now they'll presumably have to search a lot more people but only to the point that they can confirm they don't have a serious weapon or worse. They won't have time to look any deeper.

This is a terrible terrible shame. In the midst of the chaos of the world surrounding us, i can't think of a happier and more reassuring place in the world to go than Glastonbury. I'm looking forward to it more this year than any before, mostly for they reasons
