Overview
- Avon and Somerset Police said a man in his mid-30s attended a voluntary interview under caution on Monday over the Glastonbury chant, with the matter recorded as a public-order incident.
- Officers confirmed they sought early legal guidance from the Crown Prosecution Service in October; no charges have been announced and the individual interviewed was not named.
- The Metropolitan Police imposed Public Order Act conditions at Bob Vylan’s London show to separate opposing protests, later reporting five arrests for chanting offences, assault and breaches of restrictions.
- The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit ruled that broadcasting the Glastonbury set breached harm and offence standards, cleared it on incitement, and the broadcaster said it would stop live airing “high risk” performances.
- Reach plc’s Manchester Evening News issued a correction and apology and agreed to pay substantial damages after falsely claiming the frontman performed Nazi salutes on stage.
