You have to give the Palestinians people props for running an effective decades long propaganda program.  
 

People buy their BS hook line and sinker.

 

Let me fix the second sentence for you.  Gullible, uninformed "people buy their BS hook, line and sinker." People who have a basic understanding of the history of the Middle East won't be taken in by Palestinian propaganda.

Glastonbury won't be cancelled.

 

Neither will the BBC.

 

Correct.

 

Glastonbury has become an excellent tool for recuruiting impressionable young kids into extreme left wing ideology.

 

The BBC will probably increase it's coverage. 

 

Loved this sign on the huge metal fence BTW. 😃

Let’s apply this logic to their personal living spaces.

[NanLaew]

On social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was “deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival”. But, in response, Mr Streeting also told the Israeli government to get its “own house in order” and take violence against Palestinians more seriously.

 

Nice one Wes. Well done. With your NHS chain saw running nicely, I hope you safely navigate the inevitable cabinet reshuffle as Sir Keir tries to circle the wagons.

   Oh I see .

You say that I have no idea .

I stated that Glastonbury wouldn't be happening next year and you made the point that I didn't know what I was talking about .

But you didn't know that Glastonbury wont  be happening next year .

   I understaff now .

So, it was you who had no idea

The BBC has been unscrupulous for years. They are as 2 faced as the government. Greedy and no integrity.

Time for the Tory Director General to quit or be fired.

Not sure what being Tory has to do with him quiting. But that's not enough, this needs to go right to the very top. The BBC chairman, Samir Shah. He should never have been appointed in the first place and his lack of leadership now is obvious.

Unlikely for something like this, as the Chairman does not have any operational or editorial control of the organisation.  Let's see what the outcome of the Ofcom report is.

So their fallow year has absolutely nothing to do with what happened this year.

 

Thanks for playing a blinder Nick.

There were concerns about his appointment by MP's why should he not be considered for resignation? But I see you now want to see the outcome of the Ofcom report......lol

I wouldn't be sad to see the ineffectual Shah go, especially as it would allow Labour to appoint his replacement.

 

I just don't think the 'crime' merits it, as it was an operational decision to not cut the broadcast.

 

But yes, the Ofcom report will be important.

Ah back to politics again...............

 

The facts to this are very simple. Heads need to role and he lacks leadership skills which are needed in his position

There's politics in everything!  You should know that, as I don't think you've ever posted anything that's non-political!

This is a criminal act and against UK law, nothing to do with politics. There are no excuses for this and your claim on what I post is also false

I thought we were talking about the BBC, hence the Ofcom reference.  This thread is not about Bob Vylan's actions, which are a matter for the police.

   Will you be retracking that comment ?

[Evil Penevil]

The following paragraph perfectly summarizes what is so wrong about the Glastonbury death chants and hate speech:

 

"Once tolerant and decent Britain is a place where incitement to riot over Southport will rightly result in the full force of the law being brought to bear, while you can stand on a stage at Glastonbury and lead scenes reminiscent of a Nuremberg rally without facing much more than expressions of disapproval."

I am alive because my ancestors realised Jews were in danger. Britain is nearly there

 

The rest of the article explains why antisemitism has become a major concern for Britain's Jews.  I hope everyone who expresses sympathy for Palestinians reads it and realizes why their ill-founded support is so dangerous.

Yea, letting the government decide what speech is acceptable speech is the way.

Maybe you are unaware but governments have always made laws. The exception being 'case law' which arises from a judicial ruling and is regarded as law but open to challenge in a higher court.

You’ll find that as time goes on people are seeing the Israeli propaganda now, like they’ve never seen before. All eyes are on Israel and the IDF and we all know why they don’t allow the worlds journalists into Gaza.

How condescending calling people that support a Palestine state gullible.
