The BBC has responded to Bob Vylan’s performances on Saturday in a statement.
On the West Holts Stage at the festival, rappers Bobby Vylan and Bobby Vylan chanted “Death, death to the IDF.” Many viewers were upset over the footage because Health Secretary Wes Streeting branded it “appalling” after the scenes were broadcast live on BBC iPlayer.
A BBC spokesperson responded in a statement following the incident. They claimed that some of the comments made on Bob Vylan’s set were “deeply offensive.” A warning was posted on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language used during this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage. No intention is being made to provide the performance on demand.
