00:00I'm very concerned about what we saw from from Glastonbury, you listen you know

00:03artists will be artists you'll get idiots who will sound off to make

00:07themselves famous. My concern is with the organisers themselves, with the BBC who

00:12broadcast this performance and actually with the crowd itself it really concerns

00:17me that thousands of people should think it's acceptable to chant along to

00:21calling for death to the IDF, death to soldiers of an ally of ours. That puts

00:25Jewish people here in the UK at risk because it changes the culture. If people

00:29think that it's acceptable to call for the death of the soldiers of the Jewish

00:32state what does that mean they think about Jews here in the UK? So it's a

00:36very very significant moment I think it's really important yes it's just a bunch of

00:39idiots in a field in Somerset on one hand but actually it's an important cultural

00:44moment. What decision do we make in Parliament, BBC, the police about an act

00:49like this? This is clearly incitement to anti-semitism, incitement to violence and

00:54it's very important that the police have a proper look at this and see where the

00:57charges should be brought because in one way or the other we have to send a strong

01:00signal that what happened at Glastonbury this weekend is unacceptable.
