The broadcaster said the decision to stream the punk duo broke guidelines in relation to harm and offence but the set was cleared of being likely to encourage or incite crime
The BBC has partly upheld complaints over its decision to stream the punk duo Bob Vylan’s performance at this year’s Glastonbury festival.
The broadcaster’s executive complaints unit (ECU) said that doing so broke editorial guidelines in relation to harm and offence owing to frontman Bobby Vylan’s chant of “death, death to the IDF”, their use of the slogans “from the river to the sea” and “free, free Palestine”, as well as referring to record company executives “in the most abusive terms” as “fucking Zionists”.
