Kneecap and now this.....There are some absolute fits playing at Glastonbury and I am sure there are some virtue signalling loons cheering this.

Hope turnpike throw the book at them.

Bobby Vylan of British duo Bob Vylan performs on the West Holts Stage

Police review footage of chants led by Glastonbury acts

The government condemned chants from rap duo Bob Vylan which were streamed live and called for "death" to the Israeli military.

You do realise that lots of people on these marches are Jewish themselves. And many other Jewish people support the marches. This is not about being anti-Jew, it's anti the Israeli government and anti - genocide.

Thankyou . I saw groups of orthodox Jews and people holding banners saying they were descendents of holocaust survivers on the march last Saturday , along with different people from every walk of life . Not once did I see anyone claiming to support hamas or calling for any violence in any way . And I don't think you have to completely understand the history or the politics to have a moral understanding that what isreal is doing and has been for years is wrong .

Maybe Lineker thought he was supporting Gazza.

So you think this was one isolated incident? I mean Hamas don’t even wear full gear in Gaza - so I’m not quite sure why you’re so hung up on full militant costume as some sort of sartorial test of terrorist threat

Agree the polls demonstrate that the majority of people in the UK have a moral understanding that what Israel is doing and has been for years is wrong it isn't some outlier fringe lefty view

None so blind as those who won’t see. Google
rhe guy who goes around with his sign saying Hamas are the bad guys and see how he’s treated.

Also you seem to be forgetting that kneecap stated quite clearly “up Hamas and up hezbollah”. I’m not sure that their outfits are that crucial?

Because that's what the poster said. People can believe that there are Islamic terrorists walking amongst the matchers in the UK but I find it unlikely and I would have full faith in the anti terrorist police unit to be fully on top of it if they are. It is just another way to discredit and demonise marchers

Scary. I find this scary. Am I an Islamaphobe. Or is my immediate visceral reaction correct. And am I correct to connect these images to a proliferation of Islam and a denigration of a Jewish group and ideology. And does that feel really terrifying. Yes.

I will check myself on all this. I appreciate I am not the fountain of all knowing. 🙋

Fgs there's a massive difference between a chant and a terrorist are you for real?

I do not have full faith that any establishment or body in the UK is ' on it'. I believe there will be evidence to the contrary out there.

And as I said earlier they are just doing it to get noticed and talked about and it worked , if they were at a vegan festival they'd be wearing jumpers with ' I love meat ' on them !

There are radical Islamist’s who are awful as any Theo-cratic ideologists. The world would be a better place without them.

Where did I say anyone supported Hamas?

As I said most people in the UK are against the level of military action carried out by Israel.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/03/public-support-for-israel-in-western-europe-lowest-ever-recorded-yougov

https://ygo-assets-websites-editorial-emea.yougov.net/documents/ActionForHumanity_Results_250605_W.pdf

This yougov survey puts support for Israel’s actions in Gaza at 15%.

As if anyone takes the Guardian seriously. They beg for money at the end of each article. Their stance on women's rights over trans identified men has been disgraceful. They are typical of the lefties supporting radical Islamists who would be murdered by those people.

NiMaithLiomDeLuain · 29/06/2025 21:22

This thread has taken a predictable turn. Hiding under the pretence of caring about antisemitism to spew their anti Islam they are all coming for us bollocks. Tommy Robinson loves a good march against antisemitism too.

Its hilarious people quaking in their boots about Islam when in the past few years the UK with their arms sales to Israel have facilited more deaths in the Middle East than these Islamists that you all say you are so afraid have facilitated in the UK. Do you not think that people in the Middle East are afraid of you and your money grubbing government putting profit before lives? 169million in arms sales to Israel in 3 months in 2025, how many kiddies has your government killed?

Maybe you should try attending a meeting with Maryam Namazie a prominent exiled Iranian. She will inform you about the infiltration that is going on.

I never said that. My original post was to query the presence of Islamic militants in full gear walking the streets of London. You have been questioning me ever since. I don't think anyone supporting terrorists isn't bad but I would see terrorists marching the streets of London alarming.

So what reason are you giving for brushing off the yougov polls then?

Feel free to back up your claim. I’ve provided several.

A number of western leaders have indeed made catastrophical moves - does that t make the threat less real? Or somehow okay?

It's not just a number, it's the Israeli prime minister amongst them.

Don't preach to me about terrorism I was caught up in the London bombing I do not take any of this lightly and all this distraction is probably ensuring those who can actually do us harm go under the radar. But carry on with the distraction, I'm done
