Punk rap duo Bob Vylan have been branded "contemptible" by broadcaster Jake Wallis Simons after claiming they are being "targeted" for their performance at Glastonbury Festival.Following a probe by Avon and Somerset Police, the band shared a statement on social media, claiming they are being singled out for "speaking up".FULL STORY HERE.
00:00I just want to bring you some breaking news on this story now.
00:03The band Bob Villain has said they are being targeted for speaking up.
00:10That's a quote from Bob Villain feeling targeted for speaking up.
00:15This after their comments, of course, were branded anti-Semitic and that police probe was launched yesterday afternoon.
00:23I want to throw that over to you, Jake Wallace Simons.
00:26The idea that this band feels that they are the victims in all of this.
00:34Well, it's just contemptible and it's predictable.
00:37I mean, you know, what did he expect?
00:39I mean, the whole reason behind his performance, not just this one where he shouted death to the IAF, but his music in general.
00:44If you listen to it, it's producing the most insulting, provocative terminology and statements and rhetoric and throwing it in the face of the public to get a reaction, to get a rise.
00:56That's what he's trying to do.
00:57And look, you know, now he's got this big reaction.
00:59He's become notorious.
01:00Everyone knows who the guy is.
01:02I frankly wish I never knew who Bob Villain was.
01:05I'd quite happily go through the rest of my life without ever learning his name.
01:08And yet he's now got this notoriety and he's seeking to magnify this notoriety by pretending, oh, now I'm being targeted.
01:15Now I'm the victim to get more points.
01:16So as I'm concerned, he's absolutely contemptible and shouldn't have been on stage in the first place.
01:21The fact that he was performing at Glastonbury says a lot about the Glastonbury organizers, about the people who go to Glastonbury and about the entire progressive left, all of whom lost their moral compass a long time ago, particularly when it comes to Israel and Jews.
01:33But also when it comes to Britishness, don't forget, Bob Villain attacks Jews and Israel, but as a proxy for attacking our British way of life and our values.
