Former BBC presenter and DJ Alex Dyke has expressed his "outrage" at the broadcaster after airing rap duo Bob Vylan's performance at Glastonbury Festival.The act sparked widespread controversy after prompting the crowd to chant "death to the IDF" during their performance.FULL STORY HERE.
00:00And I just said a moment ago, Lucy Connolly, poor woman, was banged up for incitement because she tweeted something which was, I'd argue, wasn't even direct incitement.
00:09She said, for all I care. Anyway, are you are you proud still to work for the BBC?
00:13You're a former presenter and DJ. Alex, what's your thoughts on your old employer?
00:17Well, I'm absolutely outraged. I don't think I've ever really been outraged in my life before by anything the media have ever done.
00:24And I've been slightly annoyed by things. But I mean, the hate at Glastonbury, I mean, music festivals are meant to be peace loving.
00:34We know that there's politics in Glastonbury because Jeremy Corbyn was there in on stage in 2017.
00:41He was there yesterday as well. Yeah. And Michael Weavis stood for the Labour Party as a candidate in 1997.
00:49But I just getting back to the BBC, where was the delay system? Why was this broadcast?
00:55Why did somebody not pull the plug, either the broadcaster or someone on the soundboard at Glastonbury?
01:02I mean, I think this is awful. I think now that that ban trouble is, guys, we are giving them the oxygen of publicity now by talking about them, aren't we?
01:10But their record company need to drop them. The BBC need to ban them from everything they do on Radio 1 and Radio 1 Extra.
01:20And for old Bob Vile or whatever his name is, this kid from Ipswich. I mean, what does he really know about this situation?
01:26I bet his parents are proud of him tonight. And the hatred in the crowd.
01:31I tell you what I do think, Ben, and I mean this. The BBC now, the punishment to Bob Villan or whatever his name is, is the BBC should pull the plug on it now.
01:42By midnight, they should just say, that's it. This idiot has ruined it for everyone. We're not putting it on the iPlayer.
01:48You're not going to see it because someone needs to set an example because where is this going to end?
