Side by side placement of ukranian flag and palestinian flag

I have heard about this "comedian" before, he does not come across as a particularly pleasant character and I am not surprised he has embroiled himself in this. I am disappointed he is getting so much publicity because of it. I think the real issue and concerning piece is that the crowd went with him to the point that people were hounded into leaving. That is extremely concerning and I can understand how scared jews in London must feel as a result. It didn't seem to take much to turn on them. Unfortunately in those highly charged situations it can be very difficult to push against the crowd but I am hoping people did manage to film some of them and they can be dealt with. I am sure the theatre has a record of everyone that attended.

There is a difference between supporting Ukraine and supporting terrorists. @RocknrollstarSupporting Palestine does not equate to supporting terrorists, that needs to be clear

I was listening Beyond Belief ' on r4. About Faith and comedy. Comedy was framed as a vehicle of political commentary, nothing mentioned about the point of comedy is to be funny . So this is where it ends, a 'comedian' thinking it's appropriate to do this.

It's like 1930s Germany

If that had been a Russian citizen, you can bet they wouldn't have suffered the same indignity from PC as this gentleman did.

He wasn't just arguing with the crowd. He was abusing one member of that crowd. The side by side placement of flags isn't the story here but it's "interesting" that you think it is.

I don't think the main issue with this was the flags. A bigger issue was the verbal abuse and mob mentality directed towards members of the public. It's not ok to incite and lead a crowd in intimidating innocent people.

I was shocked by this story and hope it's the end of PCs career. But unfortunately I don't think it'll happen.

In the end it wasn’t about flags. An Israeli was threatened by the performer and the crowd and had to leave the theatre. Jews used to feel that this was a safe country. Now we have non-Jewish friends offering us sanctuary if we need it and we are threatened in the street , on campus and in theatres. There is a difference between supporting Ukraine and supporting terrorists. How would you expect the government to react if your loved ones were massacred at Glastonbury?
