BBCs politics output is so far removed from left wing it’s untrue.
Laura K and Nick Robinson are out and out Tories
The best and most unbiased big gun they have is Vic Derbyshire and even she was mildly Tory in Uni (Source: Me) though she did vote for me a few times on a Labour ticket
I’m a fan of many things, just not most of the acts on. I’ll watch it when there’s nothing better to do but there’s literally not one act I’m enthused about seeing.
It really does seem to have become an awful thing
Dont get me wrong, I’m not a festival person. Camping can do one, Outdoor music is shit, blah blah blah but Glasto used to be the cream of all the lineups. There are loads of lineups much better than this now.
Idles, shit shit shit bluenose shit, shit, The National, more shit
2 legacy acts who are nothing like their original incarnations and… shit
Honestly, it feels like every year I declare this to be the worst lineup ever and I don’t think I'm lying at any time I say it.
Shania Twain must be the most awful legends slot since they started having one.
It’s worse
And yes it is a thing, see Nadine Shah, Dub Pistols, SecretDJ accounts on Twitter
SecretDJ has been saying it for years but more and more acts are going public with it
See lots of replies to the above for more bits of info
Did they offer you a gig but expect you to cover all your own costs and even a ticket to get in?
Oh no, that's just most of the DJs this year and most of the bands (except the ticket thing)
Not that you’d know from her Bio but she’s standing in Kingswinford and South Staffs, where some polling suggests Labour actually stand a chance of unseating Gavin Williamson.
