Ha ha ha some bad grasses have been on to the police reporting acts for having an opinion




Love that all those wanting to cancel anything they don't like being said are the free speech brigade when they want to use casual racism, mysoginy and be nasty cunts in general

Definitely wasn't anyone in the crowd grassing up. If you've been following closely yould know that only left wing radicalist Hamas sympathisers like live music.

Is “Up the Ra” what’s illegal, as it’s expressing support for the IRA? Nothing happened to Mr Farage when he said it? So why would it be illegal when Kneecap said it?

I can’t imagine there’s anything illegal being done by saying “Fuck Keir Starmer”. “Fuck the Daily Mail” would probably have to come from the DM’s legal team.

That’s all I could think of that they said which is controversial. Seems like a use of free speech to me. Do correct me if you can find something that is genuinely illegal.


Edit: Forgot about Bob Vylan, “Death to the IDF” could be what they’re on about. Looks like that’s actually illegal.

Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis has long been a staunch campaigner for peace, and in 1981 famously donated festival proceeds to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), in a partnership that lasted until the early Nineties.

In 1984, Eavis introduced the Green Fields to raise awareness of environmental issues.

2005 Make Poverty History campaign, which saw Eavis appear alongside musician and activist Bob Geldof on the Pyramid Stage.

2009, the festival supported the White Ribbon Alliance’s Million Mums campaign, collecting thousands of signatures supporting an end to the needless deaths of women in childbirth.

2016, EU exit prompted Blur frontman Damon Albarn to announce that “democracy had failed”.

Elsewhere during the day, Foals frontman Yannis Philippakis wore a t-shirt onstage that said: “Abuse of power comes of no surprise.”

A year later, then-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn appeared on the Pyramid Stage amid chants of “oh, Jeremy Corbyn” in the style of the opening riff of “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes.

There, accompanied by Eavis, he delivered a rousing speech that condemned nationwide poverty and paid tribute to the victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

Stormzy, who backed Corbyn and Labour in the December 2019 general election, used his headline set earlier this year to highlight racism in the criminal justice system along with the UK’s high rate of knife-related homicides (while wearing a Union Jack stab vest designed by Banksy)
In the thrilling performance, he also got the thousands of fans in attendance at the Pyramid Stage to chant “F*** the government, f*** Boris [Johnson]” during his rendition of hit single “Vossi Bop”.

2022 edition of Glastonbury Festival was another politically rife event, in part due to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which was addressed in a powerful video message to revellers from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.

Elsewhere that year, The decision by the Republican-controlled Supreme Court prompted artists such as Lorde, Phoebe Bridgers, Olivia Rodrigo, Idles and headliner Billie Eilish to speak out, with Eilish calling it a “really dark day for women in the US”.

…. Look forward to quoting this all again next years set when some have totally forgotten the history of political statements at Glastonbury and also to remind again that every single year this is ‘the worst line up’ and ‘worst Glastonbury ever’ according to the same old morons.

Posting political bollocks again I see, just a subjective post quoting some tripe that suits your narrative.

Is it not Bob Vylan rather than Kneecap this time?
