So how does this square get circled, how can the most woke and lefty festival in the world deal with being the most environmentally damaging, meat consuming, CO2 emitting single event in the country, organised by one of the country's biggest dairy farmers (veal anyone) who also concurs with badger culling, and will undoubtedly attract many who are currently clogging up central London

Just curious

The same way that thousands chant "Ooooh Jeremy Corbyn..." and yet fail to realise that a) he's a populist (what's more populist than 'for the many, not the few', and b) says stuff like "there's a message on that wall over there for Donald Trump, don't build walls"...

Of course, there are many contradictions within society - but we still need to live, it'd be impossible to have a festival without polluting or creating carbon emissions, meat consumption etc, but the fact is Glastonbury is one of the most talked about forces in British/European music festivals and is by far and away doing the best it can to change the world for the better. If you think Glastonbury is terrible as a single event, on paper it might well be, but as a whole, it's a bastion of hope and growth and betterment. You've got to look at the bigger picture is all.
