Avon and Somerset Police face criticism for not arresting Bob Vylan after his performance at Glastonbury Festival, deemed 'offensive' and 'appalling hate speech.' Comparisons are drawn to Lucy Connolly, who received a 31-month sentence for a racist social media post. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp demands Vylan's immediate arrest, citing a double standard in justice. Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice argues Vylan's actions are more severe and clearly anti-Semitic. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also condemned Vylan's words, calling for the BBC to explain their broadcast decision.
Vylan's performance has drawn comparisons to Lucy Connolly's prison sentence over a social media post branded racist, highlighting concerns of uneven legal repercussions.
Chris Philp stated, 'It seems very clear that this man was directly inciting violence. He should receive the same treatment under the law as others.'
Deputy leader of Reform UK Richard Tice argued that Vylan's actions were worse than Connolly's, labeling them as anti-Semitic and incitement to violence.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer condemned Vylan's performance as 'appalling hate speech' and urged the BBC for clarity on the broadcast.
