Bobby Vylan is Pascal Robinson-Foster.

Bobbie Vylan is Bobbie Vylan, the drummer.

The peeps are known as Bob Vyland, founded in 2017.

It would be interesting to see if the band were arrested over the weekend, kept in a cell and up before the beak on Monday.

No?

How so very Glast-ooooh.

Laura's view from the law is marvellous. Fantastic.

From Richard Dimbleby's broadcast From Belsen in 1945 to this Nuremburg Rally at Glastonbury. The depth of how far the BBC and much of the UK has sunk in barely 80 years couldn't be starker.

Thanks Laura. Then we have Knee Cap anti English rantings which you have written about. Not to mention anti Israel rants of Martin and Harris

Amen in spades.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali also wrote about these scumbags in yesterday's Free Press.

Also see David Keighley in today's TCW. And today's SteynOnLine.

First time I have come across Laura Perrin and I don't think I could have put it better. This is 100% how I feel about it - it's a watershed moment for this country - and it needs to be dealt with now. I love the UK but life is changing fast.

I'm not a legal person in any way but isn't this similar to the Cosgun Koran burning in that S.18 of the public order act refers to persons? So "Death to Americans" is not an offence, "Death to Joe Bloggs American President" is? I believe the law protects my right to say "Death to Amazon" as long as I don't name individuals or encourage others to carry out that act. I suppose you could say some members of the IDF might have been in the audience, if so like Cosgun he'll get a minor fine which is no doubt good for business.

I grew up seeing the Sex Pistols et al so this Kneecap stuff seems very tame. And very familiar. The Sun reported their tour daily and they were only appearing in town halls and cinemas which held maybe a few hundred.

Hitting this nasty piece of work Vylan in the pocket - no more gigs for you! - will work better than any newspaper coverage or revulsion from the rest of us. He should never be invited on another stage to spew his hate.

Amen to that Laura.

I believe the US State department are thinking about cancelling his visa to the US for a performance there.

I'm just thinking, I watched a series back in the 90s called Babylon 5.

There was a scene where a Narn killed a Centari on the station.

The Narn was punished by having all his assets sold and given to the Centari war effort.

Poetic justice.

I think what should happen is if he was punished like that there should be an IDF camera crew along with the munitions his assets paid for and *Boom* there's the rocket you paid for being fired.

The thing people keep missing about Lucy Connolly is that she was denied bail against all guidelines.

This instruction came from up on high and was blatant political interference.

Whilst I doubt any jury would’ve convicted her, especially given the loss of her own son, she faced sitting in jail for 12-18 months before any chance of a trial.

As a young mum with an ill husband, she was clearly coerced into pleading guilty, assuming she’d be released quicker.

Then she gets stitched up again with 31 months.

The whole case disgusts me tbh and even more when we see those who do real harm walk away with much less punishment.

Now we hear she’s being bullied by staff at the jail, denied family visits and weekend release etc…

Someone clearly doesn’t like all the attention (global) her case has attracted.

What on earth is going on in our once great country?

Do you care about him saying that than 100s of thousands slaughtered, orphaned, raped, crippled by the IDF in the worst genocide in history?

Asking for a friend…

I very much doubt that Vylan knows what you attribute to him. And it most likely wasn't the spirit of Goebbels present, but the spirit of alcohol and weed, and being carried along with stupidity of the moment...the madness of crowds. A Nuremberg rally, this wasn't.

If he has committed a criminal offence, then prosecute. But it would be very unwise to do so, as Kneecap have proved. It was a nasty, unpleasant incident inspired by someone of no consequence whatsoever...in fact rather like the Lucy Connolly matter, but in the real, not online world.

It really deserves to be ignored instead of getting "the oxygen of publicity" it is currently enjoying. There are far more important likely anti-Semitic events happening by more important people eg the forthcoming definition of "Islamophobia". Now that really is of consequence.
