BBC spokesman Bob Villan described today as “very offensive” and said he would not allow it upon request.
We also informed us earlier in this evening, the BBC tried to avoid the controversial Irish band by not showing the Glastonbury group as part of the live Glastonbury from the wall to the wall today, but instead the English villain Bob Villan who created his live performance on the iPlayer was a special fuss.
The British duo Bob Villan led thousands of members of the crowd in the chants of “death and death to the Israeli Defense Army” [Isreal Defence Force] And “Palestine is free, free” during their group. The crowded crowd was studded with Palestinian flags.
The band had a big message to the fans on the stage: “Free Palestine. The United Nations described it as genocide. BBC calls it” a struggle. “They also repeated the controversial slogan:” From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free. “
In response, a spokesman for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) told the pluscinemaz.comfor this evening: “Some of the comments that were made during the Bob Villan group were very offensive. During this direct broadcast on the iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on the stage, a warning was issued on the strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make performance available upon request.
The performance inevitably sparked both screaming and applause on social media.
KneeCAP performed its collection to a crowd of capacity shortly after Bob Villan and led the crowd in the “Keir Starmer” and “Free Valestine” chants. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom recently said that it is “inappropriate” that the band play the festival in view of the recent legal cases faced by the group. A member of KneeCAP MORA is currently facing terrorist charges in the UK, claiming that he has demonstrated support for Hamas and Hezbollah, which the UK government considers terrorist organizations.
The local police force posted to Glastonbury tweet tonight, saying it was looking into comments made by the bands this evening.
Some of the context here is the continuous catastrophic loss in life in Gaza and the constant hostage situation in the region. More than 58,000 people were reported in the Gaza war, at least 56,000 of these Palestinians, according to local reports. It is said that 80 % of the dead are civilians. Health staff said that at least 72 people were killed in Israeli strikes throughout Gaza this week. The United Nations stated that at least 410 Palestinians were killed in search of food because Israel raised a siege for 11 weeks on May 19. Meanwhile, it is understood that there are 50 hostages that remained in captivity after Hamas raids on October 7 in 2023, which Israel believes that 27 died.
