Brightonblue's latest activity

unfortunately. @Bryan+ is equating hamas to Israel's 80 years of brutal occupation. But, yes, back to music, if only Kneecap were Fontaines, we'd be laughing

They can play sea shanties on an out of tune Banjo for all I care. It's the gammon outrage that they cause which counts.

I don’t think anybody outside of being terrorists support Hamas. Most people are criticising and wanting an end to the genocide. Also people are fed up with the hypocrisy of us, the yanks and a lot of the west making out we’re some moral...

Remember there's no such thing as bad PR. And any other musicians that think they've done wrong should maybe take a look at their own activities.

It’s certainly doing their popularity no harm. I was 50/50 on seeing them this year as there’s a lot of clashing acts at that time, but think I’ll deffo go to see them now as it has the potential to be one of those “I was there” moments. Bob...

Interesting you believe calling for the end of a genocide is extremism, starmer and bedenoch are the extremists in reality

At a gig in November 2023 one of them made the statement “Kill your local MP” whilst on stage. I would say that can be classed as calling for violence or criminal activity. When you consider that two MPs have been murdered in recent history, it’s...

I find it quite useful for anchoring my thigh muscle. I’ve missed the point haven’t I?

I like them a lot and I’m really looking forward to seeing them. They’re a proper live act. I remember all the nonsense over the Sex Pistols and a lot of their stuff, now their stuff is seen as a national institution.

I mean it’s their product so they can play who they want. Known misogynists and scumbags get a free pass though. Get Billy Bragg on with his nice ditties about Thatcher.

that's 70% out of the door then. Eavis will be pleased to massively reduce the carbon footprint of the event so easily. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg5z26dpgd7o As for this lunatic, hasn't he got much much more pressing issues...

Musicians taking a firm political stance is absolutely nothing new. The only difference here is that they’ve upset the Israeli propaganda machine and must be silenced at all costs as a result. An absolute travesty if they get pulled. From...

Free speech innit. They've not called for violence or criminal activity against anyone, as far as I know. I personally wouldn't let them play because they musically aren't very good.

Out of interest Who thinks if hypothetically they should be stopped playing Glastonbury ? Personally I like what they’re about and should be allowed to purvey without the media pile on
