On an unrelated note, how many times did you hear someone say 'Jezza should not do a speech at Glasto because it's not a political event'? Clearly these people have no idea about the origins of the festival and its connection to CND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbailey80 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Does anyone remember someone who trolled a brexit thread with hilarious halfwit posts about all of Turkey coming over etc? Is this the same guy? Either way this is gold. Please keep talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I'd stuck with the law abiding salt of the earth fans of every other musical genre, but alas. Fuckin hell! You too? Thought I was the only one that got murdered this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I marked an assignment this afternoon by a student who thinks Iceland is an imaginary country, and another one from a kid who thinks Greece and UK are in Asia, so I'm pretty happy with a sentence that starts with 'So...'

JamboNelly Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 1 hour ago, Markjensen said: 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 Haha what a turbo c**t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markjensen Posted July 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 @Rylbld9 sorry it's not quite politically correct enough for you but there was nothing racist at all about that comment. The most popular grime acts tend to be black, that is indisputable, when did I ever speak lowly of black people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you said nothing outright racist and are correct that most of the grime artists are black, but when you mention something like race when it's not really relevant it's going to come across as 'thinly-veiled racism' as the other user put it. Unless it is relevant to your post, in which case there was something racist about that comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned race because I wanted to explain what grime is to someone who may not know, and as you said, the most popular grime artists are black. With your logic saying British is also racist because that's bringing up a nationality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miesh Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 I was rather scared when I watched Stormzy on tv. I realised how close we were to the giant mosh at the end.......and smiled as I remembered how safe we felt jumping in that crowd. My best friend's mum, in her 60's, recovering from a broken hip, with her crutch. A group of people behind us all looking out for her. That was one of my highlights x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
