The BBC has tried to contrive the controversial Irish group Knecap by not showing the group’s Glastonbury set as part of its Glastonbury wall cover on wall live today.
However, a group that the company broadcast on Iplayer instead of the patella had its own controversial comments.
The British duo Bob Vylan led thousands of crowd members in songs of “Death, Death to Tsadf” [Isreal Defence Force] and “free and free Palestine” during their set. The crowded crowd was dotted with Palestinian flags.
The punk duo, which merges the filth, punk rock and hip hop, also reiterated the controversial slogan: “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be, will be free.”
The group had a big message for fans on stage: “Palestine Libre. The United Nations described him as genocide. The BBC calls it a “conflict”. ”
The BBC has not yet commented on performance, which has inevitably triggered an outcry and applause on social networks.
Kneceecap played his set on a host of capacities shortly after Bob Vylan and led the crowd in songs of “Fuck Keir Starmer” and “Free Palestine”. The British Prime Minister had recently declared that he was “inappropriate” that the group plays at the festival given the recent legal problems that the group encountered.
The member of the Knecap group, Mo Chara, is currently facing terrorist accusations in the United Kingdom for having allegedly supported Hamas and Hezbollah, which are both considered terrorist organizations by the British government. It came a few months after the police for the fight against terrorism said that they evaluated the videos of a member of the group who would have said to the fans during a concert: “The only good curator is a dead curator. Kill your local deputy.”
In a Guardian interview yesterday, the group said they were “of character” when they displayed a Hezbollah flag. “S ** T is launched on stage all the time. If I am supposed to know all the things that are launched on stage … I would be in Mensa, Jesus Christ,” said Mo Chara, alias Liam óg ó Hannaidh.
Earlier in the day, the BBC confirmed that the Neil Young set will also be displayed on television. Young said the day before said he didn’t want his set to be on the BBC.
