    They have everything to do with Glastonbury, thankfully for those at Glasto, they could be there and alive, while the memory of other concerts serves as a warning to such atrocities that happen. Nowt disingenous about it on my part, I felt it was a timely reminder.

    Perhaps s link to Bob Vylan using a festival for political messaging.... still a bit tenuous...

    Very tenuous

    Palestine Action might be vandals (to companies who help a genocide) and trespass (into places that help a genocide) but they’re no terrorists.

    You got something to say say to me you ****ing old pervert, perving over girls the same age as your daughters. How old the **** are you? Dread to be one of your daughters mates coming round and the sexual object thoughts that go through your head, you dirty old disgusting man.

    I do have a distinct dislike for this Israeli regime - never said otherwise - but got nothing against the Israeli people or Jewish people - have given my absolute support for Israel's right to exist and be respected on this thread from the outset ... you are confusing 'bias' with my also advocating that Palestinians and 'Palestine' has an equal right to both existence and autonomy ...

    ... but tell me then - what link do the Bataclan and Manchester atrocities have to Gaza and Palestine? ...

    My point was about people that make points at concerts, absolutely nothing direct to Gaza or Palestine, but a timely reminder the same, that some people would never be able to attend Glasto because of a recent concert atrocity and past atrocities.

    Go and have a lie down, you silly old sod ... you conveniently lose your sense of humour when it suits your agenda and personal vendettas - but then go creaming your shorts at way more serious and offensive comments from your favoured posters ...<laugh>

    I was going to attach this to it, but thought people would have got the message, but as they clearly haven't...

    This image is a piece of art that commemorates victims of significant events, specifically the Bataclan attack in 2015, the Manchester Arena attack in 2017, and the Nova festival attack in 2023.

    • Artist:
      Marcel Kierszenbaum, whose signature appears at the bottom of the image.
    • Context:
      The artwork serves as a poignant reminder of these tragedies and the lives lost.
    • Symbolism:
      The "bloodied" figures and the text "BUT GOOD TO KNOW YOU REMEMBERED US" emphasize the lasting impact of these events and the importance of remembrance.
    • Events:
      • Bataclan 2015: Refers to the terrorist attack at the Bataclan theatre in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015.
      • Ariana Grande Manchester 2017: Refers to the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena in England on May 22, 2017.
      • Nova 2023: Refers to the attack on the Supernova Sukkot Gathering music festival in Israel on October 7, 2023.

    ... and that's exactly why I referenced Bob Vylan ... Palestine Action were not at Glasto ... and @KingHotspur was querying what CKs poster gif had to do with Palestine Action - so I gave my thoughts - which is what this forum is for, isn't it?

    No mate, you do these little jibes all the times, and you are in your mid 60's ffs. I'd be ashamed if my grandkids read me posting stuff about girls old enough to be my daughters. You treat women as sexual objects but object to the BBC showing their football, while most the time you've got your head buried in BBC Verify. I'm not on about offensiveness either, just on about your dirty old mind.

    Fair enough but you could argue the same about anything. Think how many victims of war could have gone on to do great things, be athletes, footballers etc.

    Yes you could argue the same about everything, but that wasn't my point, the poster was created by an artist, and I thought it served as a timely reminder around Glastonbury, people reading Palestine Action into it or Gaza it's just what their minds are doing, not mine. I felt it was a poignant time to post it and I have no regrets about doing so, because it is a reminder of great sadness around three similar events to Glastonbury, people enjoying life, having fun, then having all that snatched from them in a cruel way, which seems to me sometimes forgotten when people want to use these events to make other statements.

    I said I saw that, I didn't see Hotspurs comment attached to it and still don't....he was replying to me, not CK.

    I didn't say it could be linked, and I made no attempt to link it to Palestine Action....but it serves as a timely reminder about events such as the 7th Oct, people can go back and read the comments made on that day...it was an artists work, I thought it was thought provoking and posted it...any links otherwise were not made by me but assumed by others.

    I've given my explanation to Hotspur, I know he's read it and liked it, that's all that matters, what's it to you?

    I made no mention of Paletine Action when I posted that poster, as I've already explained, I was going to attach wording to it, which I regret not doing but have now done in a separate post.
