The rapper in punk duo Bob Vylan will not face further action over his “death death to the IDF” chants at Glastonbury Festival, police have said.
Rapper Bobby Vylan, real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster led crowds on the festival’s West Holts Stage in the chants about the Israel Defence Forces during the group’s performance in June.
Avon and Somerset Police said a criminal investigation was under way shortly afterwards, with a senior detective appointed to lead the investigation.
What were they “investigating” for 6 months? It was a nationally televised event. The decision to press charges or not should have been near instantaneous.
The “investigation” was meant to intimidate and silence opposition to Israel. It was obvious from the start it wouldn’t hold up in court.
The Zionist UK government managed to cancel multiple Bob Vylan gigs by scaring events from hosting Bob Vylan. Dragging it out was on purpose. Also Bob Vylan had to refrain from making the chant for a while when it was very popular fearing prosecution.
They were too busy saying to Palestinian children, “death death by the IDF!”
They knew they had nothing, but spent 6 months trying to pin something on it so it wouldn’t look like a blatant attack on the first amendment.
The UK doesn’t have a first amendment. It has the ECHR.
Stupid American brain showing through again. lol
I hate to side with any rapper but my love of free speech overpowers my hate of noisy poetry.
