BBC partly upholds complaints over Bob Vylan’s performance at Glastonbury festival

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".
