2bf whoever is in charge of marketing Kneecap is a genius - roped in Suella Braverman to introduce them when she tried to deny them funding that they were entitled too

and now - Badenoch and Starmer have fell for it and given them even more publicity.

I think the only fair punishment is to insist that Glastonbury doesn’t take place at all next year.
They have already heeded to your request.

No Glastonbury next year.





Though it isn't on anyway, because it's a fallow year.

Yeah but I’m sure with the right press release they can convince the Daily Mail etc that they’re doing it to make sure they’re thoroughly depoliticising the festival.

Wouldn't say it's gammon pointing out people / groups who support terrorist organisations.

Politics being there, it's why it's shit.

Is this the first time you paid attention to Glastonbury? Or any festival? Or non pop music generally?

That probably applies to you doesn’t it?

How are the melts this morning? Still crying over free speech? I see Neil Young closed with 2 protest songs.
Ha ha, the Neil Young that took his music off Spotify because Joe Rogan was saying things he disagreed with, then changed his mind and returned to them. 🤭

this thread is like when you see a post from Rage Against the Machine and the replies are Americans saying they aren't going to listen anymore because they've suddenly gone political
The irony being rage against the machine are the machine themselves now

He apparently got the crowd to chant something along the lines of death to IDF soldiers or death to Israeli military and free Palestine chants also.
Shouting ‘death to the IDF’ is not antisemitic - unless of course people are conflating being an Israeli soldier committing genocide to being Jewish…. Which in itself is antisemitic.

I meant the individual members ❤️

Don’t think their politics have changed much and unsure of what the individual members are doing these days? Other than watching Tom Morello and his mad YouTube videos.

There’s arguments to be had about them selling out in the past I guess?

The anti capitalist band of the 90’s selling tickets for 100’s and 1000’s in their last tour
