Thinking some more on the artistic freedom of #Glastonbury and its performers, and the press freedom #BCC has to broadcast whatever truly goes down, without fear or favour. Whether or not it has the spine to use it.

Legacy media clearly haven't learned the lesson that Indymedia and other online news networks started teaching them after 9/11. If you fail to report on something, your lies of omission *will* be exposed. Everyone knows BBC censored Glastonbury, and exactly what it was they omitted.

Busy couple of weeks so finally getting round to some #Glastonbury catch up.

There's a lot missing or hard to find, considering they make such a fuss about it and spend a fortune on it, there's a lot not readily available or buried somewhere.

(Non controversial stuff. Just, not Rod Stewart)

Nach dem Eklat beim Glastonbury-Festival mit antiisraelischen Parolen sind alle Deutschland-Auftritte des britischen Punk-Duos Bob Vylan abgesagt worden. Veranstalter distanzieren sich klar von Gewaltaufrufen. 🎤🚫 #BobVylan #Glastonbury #Deutschland n-tv.de/leute/Alle-Auftritte-v #newz

theguardian.com/commentisfree/. @georgemonbiot.bsky.social is absolutely right. No left-wing journalist would ever be allowed to get away with the kind of sick "humour" that Rod Liddle was permitted in the pages of "The Spectator", or Lewis Schaffer was allowed on the airwaves of GB News. So it's OK to talk about bombing #Glastonbury, or starving #disabled people. "The likes of Liddle & Schaffer... are not an anomaly. They are an embodiment. It’s the clowning that kills us."

#Drivers arriving and departing from #Glastonbury #Festival were subjected to #ANPR #surveillance from #AvonAndSomerset #Police and private motor #insurance companies checking for valid policies! 21 vehicles were seized for insurance offences. This is on top of whatever controls the old bill and other authorities were doing for DUI, taxi licensing etc (and it seems quite a lot of this happens around the Festival grounds nowadays!)
