Snow At Glastonbury This Year

[ichkeria]

So do you think Jon Snow should be sacked by Channel 4 for his "extreme views", or do you agree with Peter Bone, another Tory MP, that it's effectively a fuss about nothing?

Of course its a fuss over nothing. The Tories are on the back foot, due to the kack-handedness of Mrs May, and this is just another way to deter criticism of her and her Party.

Perhaps the Tories should be wondering why Mrs May was not at Glasto. Not that she shows any great gift for mixing with ordinary people.

[ummmm]

Fuss about nothing.

If you've been to Glasto you know how easy it is to get swept up in the atmosphere.

[Mamyalynne]

Mountain/Molehill, he's a bit of a rebel isn't he?

[Lie-in King]

Yes, a fuss about nothing, yawn.

[Kromovaracun]

Even if he did actually say "eff the tories" (dubious proof at best), there's no evidence whatsoever that this degree of partiality has actually affected his coverage.

If it emerges that Snow repeatedly misquotes Tory MPs and/or reports dishonestly about the Conservatives specifically to get across an anti-tory agenda, then I will worry about it. Until then, it's a fuss over nothing.

[mikey4444]

Sensible response Kromo !

[ichkeria]

My view is that if you can remember saying "eff the Tories" at Glasto then you weren't there.
And if you didn't say it then you probably shouldn't have been there :-)

Apparently Peter Bone, sensible chap, said that Mr Snow should not be sacked as we'd miss his ties, and in any case everyone knows his views.
I heard someone earlier referring to Jeremy Corbyn (with his Glasto fans) as a virtual demagogue, until I realised she'd actually said "demigod". But an interesting confusion ...

Shame about Glastonbury, hijacked by the Lefties. Have to wonder how all the penniless austerity suffering youngsters could afford £240 tickets. Starting to look like a Marxist rally, not unlike the National Socialist conscription of the children of Germany. Instead of the Hitler youth are we witnessing the rise of the Corbynista youth? Plenty of misguided and ill informed fervour. Perhaps Layboor will promise to make it free next year. haha. :))

'Jon Snow responds', says the headline, but I can't see a response - at least not one that either confirms or denies the allegation. That said, he is supposed to remain neutral, so if he did say it I'm not surprised he's not admitting it.

Mikey, //Perhaps the Tories should be wondering why Mrs May was not at Glasto. //

They don't need to wonder. Anyone with any sense understands that she's a very busy lady at the moment.

Togo.....perhaps you should consider starting a right-wing pop festival !

Jacob Rees Mogg lives just up the road...maybe he could headline it in 2018....I am sure he would look lovely in his double-breasted tie-died T shirt.

[Mamyalynne]

He neither confirms or denies - he says he cannot recall what he chanted.

[Togo]

I am led to believe that the Fragrant Abbot is due to appear at Reading festival. Her press agent says that she will be tunefully croaking(toad like) a medley of tunes that include, Eight and a Half Days a Week, Nine Red Balloons, Nineteen Thousandth Nervous Breakdown, and Thirty Three Steps To Heaven.

[mikey4444]

Reasonably funny Togo, I must admit !

[Togo]

Damned with faint praise indeed. (^_*)

[mikey4444]

Oh not so faint Togo !

[Peter Pedant]

shower in summer

I mean he didnt take his trousers off or anything did he ?

///Jacob Rees Mogg lives just up the road...maybe he could headline it in 2018///

Those of us who keep up to date with what is going on already know there is no Glastonbury in 2018.

[Togo]

Baldric my last line @11:35 was meant to highlight a worthless promise.

[mikey4444]

Even more important then, for Togo to organise his own right-wingers pop festival for 2018 !

Mind you, its Henley today !

[ToraToraTora]

must have been a lovely lefty love in.
