Glastonbury 2025

I didn't see it. But did the singer call for the death of the Israeli army committing crimes and genocide in Gaza, and protecting illegal settlers in the West Bank. Or callig for the death of Jews.

Both unacceptable, but a big difference.

Claremont, Have you seen anyone chanting death to Russia soldiers for their killing of Ukrainian civilians?
No chants demanding the release of hostages.

How exactly?
Surely it's not acceptable to call for the death of anyone, especially on a stage like that, in front of thousands?
Clearly it is hate speech.
Just as were Lucy Powell's online coments, for which she is in prison.

I honestly don’t understand why they showed those acts on a live screen knowing what they were likely to do. Especially as a lot of acts have a delay on them.

Me neither, Maybee.

BBC top man was there and did nothing.

I couldnt^'t agree more. Surely members of the Knesset, the Israeli Government, should stop calling for the death of all Palestinians, and acting on it. Like Ben Gvir and others.

Were they at Glastonbury too?

Diane Abbott, imo , is a tedious, self regarding individual whose need to be a centre stage provocateur remains her greatest motivation

With you 100%

It’s good to know we agree on so much more than others Anniebach. Life long interest and commitment to the Labour Party alongside scepticism to Corbineesters

She’ll do anything to undermine Starmer.

I used to like her and admire her for what she achieved but, yes, have to agree.

I am 72 years of age, been to Glastonbury 3 times, I went to the 1st one in 1970 …..if it’s on your bucket list go it is amazing .
Forget the toilets ……how often do you go 🤣🤣🤣.

'She' doesn't need to.
He has done it all by himself.

Oh I don’t know, I find her quite amusing lately, gone up in my estimation 😂

Actually I’ll take that back, what has she been saying now?

What did she mean?

She keeps being re-elected though!

She’s a good constituency MP. As is Corbyn. But if I remember right one of the reasons why people wouldn’t vote for Corbyn and the Labour Party was because she would be in the cabinet and she had become increasingly more forgetful and confused. I used to like her when she was on the Andrew Neil late night programme with Michael Portillo.

I like Noel Gallagher's take on the Glastonbury controversy. He said something like 'I don't like it in music. Some f*#*#*g little idiots waving flags and saying 'isn't war terrible or let's all boo the Tories'. Just play your f*#*#*g tunes and get off. 👏 👏

I don’t like Noel. Liam has turned out to be a much nicer person. Imo

I don't like or dislike either of them but I agree with Noel on this occasion.
