Personally I’m also glad I’m not on the same side of the debate as the far right. 
 

This is a man opposing Lucy Connolly’s imprisonment for inciting violence against vulnerable people during a time of riots  - the hypocrisy is off the scale.

UK politics is full of morons like this.

 

i do think Glastonbury needs to revisit it’s relationship with the BBC. I think the BBC are overstepping their remit and attempting to influence artistic decisions. They should be there to observe only. 
 

sadly we probably don’t have an alternative.

Also for whoever said Israel/Palestine has never featured at the festival before, pretty sure I first learned about how that whole issue at Glastonbury in the early 2000s when no-one else was talking about it. Talks at the Leftfield, comedy from Marks Steel and Thomas, etc.

Never have I seen a crowd openly shouting for death on someone/group at a Glastonbury performance. I don't think I've even seen that level of hatred and incitement and open calls for killing at an EDL or BNP rally.

 

A very low point for the festival.

 

I'm curious how the festival/anyone can defend open calls for death.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of us have never lived through a live streamed Genocide before and certainly not one supported and defended by our governments.  The Israeli military is a terrorist organisation run by a terrorist regime. 
I commend Bob Vylan & am still chanting.

You must be exhausted with so much mental gymnastics going on in your cranium. 

 

I bet you've convinced yourself "From the River to the Sea" is a peaceful gesture also?

Tell your Hamas buddies to stop using women and children as human shields then.

 

Ironically it was your side that invaded a music festival to murder and rape Isreali's. But you lot give them a free pass.

Even more ironic was the huge number the Israelis killed implementing their Hannibal Directive. Those 100s of cars blown up were not blown up by a few guys on scooters with rifles.

You do know what the IDF are doing, don't you?

Nah sorry, I wouldn't sympathise with the Nazis and I wont sympathise with the Israelis.....a vile murderous colonialist genocidal entity.

I wish that was true as much as you do, but if you truly believe that I have a bridge to sell you 

 

Admittedly my knowledge is based on limited experience 25 years ago but i did 6 months on a kibbutz and most of the Israelis I know were more bothered by their kids doing their national service being put in harms way by decisions made by the idf and Israeli government rather than whatever the average Palestinian was up to.

Perfectly acceptable to wear 'kill a Tory' t-shirt at the festival as I've seen them every year for the last decade. I walked across the top end of the Pyramid when Jeremy Corbin was on and the amount of chants / Tory hatred was unbelievable from the crowd. 

It's just words. Nobody is packing a bag and getting on a flight to do it are they 

[hfuhruhurr]

What hammas did and continues to do is terrible. 

But killing 15 children for every hammas crime is on any ethical grounds worse. 

Hating what one side is doing does not mean support for the other side, that's just dumb.

Right now I'd shout for anything to show my support for stopping the killing, on either side. The outrage is 15x more against the child killers. That's sanity.

Two dead MPs says otherwise, on both sides of the house.

 

We’re quickly sliding into American political theatre, rhetoric and actions.

The US and UK political divide is currently completely different. It is possible that Reform will get into power in three years and then we will see something like they have in the US but that is far from certain.

 

It is tough to draw a link between the actions of brutal, hate-ridden ideologically driven murderers and some blokes in simplistic t-shirts in a field. Neither were killed for being Tories (Labour MPs were alternative targets to Amess).

Please feel free to give evidence of the 100s of children raped, tortured and killed? I've yet to see any evidence of it despite closing in on two years since this was spread throughout Western media without evidence 

 

I have since seen the details of the Hannibal directive - can you tell me how many Israelis were gunned down by IDF helicopters?

Your understanding of English grammar is as at the same level as your ability to construct an argument without resorting to strawmen.

Netflix. I’m not even joking, if they offer exclusive coverage to Netflix they’d get a damn sight more money out of the deal than they do from the BBC.
 

Traditional TV has been in terminal decline for years now, increasingly irrelevant, and the BBC in particular is doomed in its current form; attacked relentlessly from all political sides, it’ll barely exist in another decade. It’d be a smart commercial move for the Festival to strike a deal with a streaming service sooner than later.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The festival must also condemn all the Netanyahu piss targets that are stuck across every single urinal on site.

 

80,000 cidered up party-goers jetting piss into the face of Bibi across 5 days, amounting to hundreds of thousands of litres of hot piss drenching him round the clock, is antisemitic

The IDF are being shot at and killed though. Hamas is mounting some sort of defense in Gaza. Even though it's not much and the IDF are doing far far worse. And Hamas have the right to as well. But do I want to celebrate the deaths of those soldiers? Not really no. 

 

And frankly after the murder of David Amess the "kill a Tory" lot can f**k off as well. I kinda thought that would have bought an end to it but I guess I'm wrong.

I’ve never seen a Kill the Tories t-shirt in my life.

 

There were some Cull the Tories ones which is not the same as was part of humorous slogan. And the print media talks about eg culling in non-literal contexts. 

 

Anyway the good news is the Tories are out of power and so irrelevant now there will be no more people wearing such t-shirts.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAH yes they do. Its called Youtube. They can handle the web traffic and already have a multiview option. Youre funny. Coachella has 7 channels during the festival and it changes instantly to the other stage. Or you can place diff stages on your screen and just move the cursor for the audio feed. You lot know nothing about NFL Sunday Ticket and what innovations to sports viewing its brought. Now its happening to music live streams. Youtube would be open to everyone around the world and nobody has to use a vpn. Glasto can use the ad revenue to earn even more to donate to charity and such. But oh right, lets stay stuck in the past and stick with some bullshit content controller.

f**k netflix. Their live coverage is sh*t. Youtube. See above post. Youtube has the infrastructure already to put it on. Netflix will c*ck it up. And youre forcing everyone to have to pay for a netflix account too. Why get stuck with a paid service. Youtube is easier.

I remember in 2017 The Smyths changed 'Hang The DJ' to 'Hang Theresa, Hang Theresa, Hang Theresa', and the worst thing she did was run through a field of wheat

That on-stage dance walk thing was worse, burned into my retinas for all time.
