Davie said today: “There were individuals present in Glastonbury who had the power to cut the flow live after an appropriate consideration.” “These people had access to advice and support out of site if they had considered it necessary,” he added. “What we can say is that cutting Livestream was an option open to those on the field during the day.”

Davie said that there were 550 people working for the BBC in Glastonbury, where the controversial Irish hip-hop trio also occurred, but had shown their set on Iplayer after having taken place rather than Bob Vylan.
