A festival being "appalled" is ludicrous. A festival is not a person. What the article actually means is that Glastonbury PR has decided to condemn the comments and chant as they don't think it fits their brand.

I've had enough of having to pretend the "opinions" of companies and entities matter. They are just a business and will go along with the perceived status quo to protect their business interests. Their stance on anything is bullshit and they should be told to shut up - we don't need Glastonbury telling us what we can or can't hear or think.

Whether you agree with what was said or not, we really need to push back against the corprotisation of opinion and discourse.

Invite an extremely political punk band to perform at Glastonbury

They make political statements

I think this reaction meme is a better fit for this community.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
