UK government condemns Glastonbury chants calling for “Death to the IDF”

The UK government has condemned Glastonbury Festival performers Bob Vylan after the rap punk duo chanted “death to the IDF” and “free Palestine” during a set broadcast live on the BBC.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has sought urgent clarification from the BBC over its vetting process, and the broadcaster confirmed the set will not be available on iPlayer, citing “deeply offensive” language.

Police are reviewing footage of both Bob Vylan and Irish rap group Kneecap—whose member faces a terrorism charge—for potential criminal offences following their politically charged performances on the festival’s West Holts stage.

  1. I hope they doudle down on the terror state of Israel and its supporters, there are many people in jail for posting similar statements.

  2. The UK government condemns performers for uttering free speech but didn’t condemn Israel when it bombed Iran in an unprovoked attack. I guess the UK government is perfectly happy with the genocide that Israel is carrying out in Gaza.

    King Arthur is one of the most enduring and mysterious figures in Western legend a mythic king, a warrior of light, and perhaps even a real historical leader whose story has been cloaked in centuries of symbolism.
    In some traditions
    Arthur is said to sleep beneath Glastonbury Tor, or in Avalon, awaiting the trumpet call

    Such a bold and noble tradition – gone

  4. The UK’s ersatz Labour government, really turn my stomach. Not only backing the genocidal Israeli’s but the criminalising legitimate protest, against the slaughter of innocents perpetrated by the IDF.

  5. The IDF are quite an effective fighting force when it comes to killing innocent defenseless civilians lured out lining up for food distribution
    Killing an maiming
    And in blowing off limbs and shooting pregnant woman
    But as far as being a regimented highly disciplined trained fighting force fail miserably

  6. No one can refute the bribed and blackmailed actions of the Globalist supporting evil Zionism…

    KEEP NOAHIDE LAW AND THE TALMUDIC J3WDICIAL OUT OF NEW ZEALAND!!!!
    DO NOT COMMIT NEW ZEALAND TROOPS OR OUR YOUTH TO ZIONIST PROXY WARS!!!

  7. Plenty of terrorist lovers on this site. Why don’t you go to your brothers in Gaza and support them instead of bleating nonsense here.
    War is not pretty. Its not your war. Protesting verbally or otherwise is just making a divisive war of words in out country. It solves nothing so why bother?
