A woman who livestreamed Kneecap’s Glastonbury festival set to 2 million people on TikTok has described the “obscene” abuse she says she has received afterwards, including people calling her a Nazi.

Helen Wilson, a Swansea-based yoga teacher who also runs the Ground Plant Based Coffee cafe, said she had been sent a lot of personal insults, but had received “hundreds and hundreds times more support than negativity”.
