Overview
- Avon and Somerset Police confirmed on December 23 that no further action will be taken over chants during the duo’s June Glastonbury set, concluding the evidence does not meet prosecution thresholds.
- The CPS said it provided early investigative advice but was not asked to make a charging decision, as multiple potential offences were reviewed against evidential requirements.
- Investigators interviewed a man in his mid-30s under caution in November, contacted roughly 200 members of the public, and assessed intent, audience perception, case law, and freedom of expression.
- Jewish charities including the Community Security Trust and the Campaign Against Antisemitism, as well as the Israeli embassy in London, condemned the decision as sending the wrong message.
- The chant was broadcast live by the BBC, which later apologised and tightened live‑broadcast policies, while the band lost bookings, had US visas revoked, saw a separate Met Police probe closed, and launched a defamation case against RTÉ.
