All that remains of the Glastonbury festival now is quite staggering piles of debris across the fields, much of it, from the looks of it, non-compostable. That and an almighty row over the Bob Vylan debacle.
There we all were thinking that the incendiary political material would be coming from Kneecap, only for the boys in the tricolour balaclava to be put in the shade by Bobby Vylan – a pseudonym for one of a duo from Ipswich – who got the crowd going with chants of Palestine Will be Free (“Inshallah”) before moving on to an even more problematic chant: “How about this then?...Death, Death to the IDF”. And dutifully, the crowd joined in.
