Glastonbury is no longer a music festival — it’s a megaphone for militant hate. By any traditional measure, Glastonbury was once a celebration of music. Today? It’s become a grotesque, hyper-political hate-fest. Glastonbury has now been hijacked by the militant left — a performative circus for the blue-haired brigade who are less interested in music and more obsessed with virtue-signalling and venom.
This year’s spectacle on the West Holts Stage. Punk duo Bob Vylan took to the stage and incited the crowd with a despicable chant of “Death to the IDF.” This isn’t political commentary — it’s incitement. These are calls for death, broadcast live to TV audiences and cheered by a mob who claim to represent “inclusivity.” Is this what we now accept as normal festival culture in Britain?
Even Avon and Somerset Police, usually allergic to investigating left-wing extremism, couldn’t ignore it.
They’ve now announced an investigation into the act’s comments. Good — but we’ll see if they have the spine to actually follow through.
Because if recent history tells us anything, it’s this: if you hate the “right people,” you can say and do what you like. Impunity is the privilege of the progressive mob.
Compare this to the treatment of Lucy Connolly — arrested, incarcerated and bruised for far less.
What would it say about our justice system if nothing happens to a performer inciting hatred on live TV but mercilessly crushes ordinary citizens for speech?
And let’s not ignore the grotesque irony at play here. The same Glastonbury-goers crying “Free Palestine” and chanting for death to the IDF were probably unaware — or worse, indifferent — to the fact that it was at a music festival that Hamas carried out their October 7th massacre, killing 1,200 innocent Israelis.
A brutal terror attack launched from a place of celebration. Yet this context is conveniently erased, because it doesn’t fit the narrative.
Make no mistake: this isn’t about Palestine or peace. This is about radical leftist grandstanding — self-righteous rage wrapped in the language of liberation.
Bob Vylan’s set wasn’t an act of solidarity. It was a calculated, ugly provocation, designed to stoke division and dress up hate as heroism.
And let’s talk about the crowd — chanting “F*** Keir Starmer,” waving Palestine flags, and screaming “F*** the Daily Mail” with foaming mouths and raised fists. This wasn’t protest. It was a frenzy.
A group-think rot masquerading as progressive thought. We should all be deeply alarmed that this is what passes for mainstream culture in Britain today.
How did we get here? Glastonbury, now provides a platform for ideological radicals spewing bile with the blessing of festival organisers.
They parade their “inclusivity” credentials while turning a blind eye to hate speech and clear incitement — so long as it’s aimed at the politically acceptable targets.
Enough is enough. It’s time the two-tier justice system ends. Bob Vylan and those who incited this violent rhetoric must face the same scrutiny — the same judicial process — that people like Lucy Connolly are subjected to.
There must be one rule of law, not one rule for the militant left and another for everyone else.
If Britain is to have any hope of restoring basic decency and sanity in public life, we must call this out for what it is: not protest, not art — but dangerous, radicalised hate.
Glastonbury 2025 needs to decide what it wants to be. A festival of music? Or a front-line for political extremism?
If chanting for death on stage is “inclusive,” then Britain has truly lost the plot.
