Overview
- British Airways confirmed it has removed adverts from The Louis Theroux Podcast and opened a review with its media agency into how the placement occurred.
- On the episode that aired earlier in the week, Bob Vylan frontman Pascal Robinson‑Foster said he was not regretful about leading the “death, death to the IDF” chant at Glastonbury and would do it again.
- Robinson‑Foster responded to BA’s move by calling it a “scare tactic” in social media posts and argued he was being targeted for being given a platform.
- Mindhouse Productions, which makes the podcast, said Theroux has a long history of interviewing divisive figures and urged audiences to hear the full conversation for context.
- The Glastonbury incident had already prompted an Avon and Somerset Police investigation, a BBC finding that its broadcast breached harm and offence rules, the loss of UTA representation, revoked US visas and rescheduled UK shows.
