Aimed at the Wrong People?

I agree with that comment Jalima and in fact a great deal of the festival goers are not young, or anything like it.
Over the years it has become a travesty of itself.....even the bands have got older and richer!

A friend mentioned the mess left behind - not to mention expensive tents and camping equipment, airbeds, sleeping bags etc.
Disgusting and ironic when you think about the homeless and so many without, not to mention leaving all that that for others to clear up.
Now, if Jeremy had told them all they all need to pay more tax to help people less privileged than themselves would he have received such a rapturous welcome?
Because that is what they need to do.

Is this another 'let's knock Jeremy Corbyn' thread?

Or is it a 'let's knock festival goers'?

Or is it just another example of moaning old women?

Gee thanks Anya

It was Iron Maiden jalima
I don't see it as a knocking Corbyn or festival goers.
It's the irony that is Glastonbury coupled with Corbyns speech.

All three of those things Anya.

I believe many of the festival goers would be pleased to pay more tax, if that money was used to support the building of more social housing, education, the NHS and other public services. Many people who weren't at Glastonbury would be in the pay more tax for better public services camp.

Anyone know what a football season ticket costs? No one considers that to be the reserve of the middle classes.

This is just a silly thread based on someone's uninformed opinion.

Iam64.... but would they though? Most people grumble about taxes.

I'm with Anya this is just another moany thread.

It's a thread that is not a left wing thread true ww but that certainly doesn't make it a silly one, or a reason for unpleasant comments ( from anybody) about other posters.

On what grounds whitewave? I don't see anything 'uninformed' in *Jalima's OP.

You do come over as rather self-important these days...

Is it alright that moany threads are exclusively left wing ones? we have so many of those!

Yep another goady thread based on so many false premises it's best just to go and have a cup of tea - just my opinion of course,

I already have the kettle on * rig*

The video said that it was left by about a quarter of the people there. That leaves three quarters who are responsible people.
As far as the fence is concerned, if my kids were there I would be pleased at that amount of securtiy after what happened in Manchester.

From the bit I saw on TV, which was McDonnell speaking, the applause was weak considering how many thousands were there, so not all festival goers were fans of either man.

I have a cup of mint tea in front of me, having just come back from the hairdresser's.

Is that all you saw, roses?
Never mind.

Why were you watching McDonnell anyway? Just so you could criticise?

Is it forbidden to listen to him unless one supports him? Surely it's a good thing to listen to all views however misguided they might be!

According to Glastonbury Festival website it costs around £780,000 to clear up the rubbish after a festival. If the festival goers took their rubbish home, or donated unwanted tents, sleeping bags etc. to a homeless shelter, a large part of that money could go to the charities the festival supports.

Do they just throw it all away then?
