 "There’s something exquisitely revealing—if not revolting—about the moral theatre that takes place each year at Glastonbury Festival. Here we have a congregation of the supposedly enlightened: anti-capitalist, pro-refugee, open-borders idealists swaying to the rhythms of rebellion, all while surrounded by security fences that would make a G7 summit blush.

Observe: towering barriers, wristband checkpoints, armed patrols, perimeter drones, and an entry system so tightly regulated that it would make an immigration officer look like a doorman at a children’s birthday party. All of it constructed—quite literally—to keep the wrong people out.

And who are the wrong people? The ticketless, the voiceless, the nameless—those who didn’t pay the £300 for their pass to utopia. One can’t help but marvel at the irony: a veritable fortress erected to protect a celebration of so-called openness.

These are the same people, of course, who will leave the festival and proceed to denounce any concern about national borders as bigotry. They will weep for the plight of those fleeing hardship, while having spent the weekend applauding performers in designer rags from the comfort of eco-yurts, powered by diesel generators dressed up as “sustainable tech.”

What this reveals is not simply contradiction—it is the indulgence of belief without consequence. It is the fashionable privilege of “virtue” when it costs nothing, and the swift return to tribal gatekeeping the moment it does. Their idea of equality lasts only as long as the headline act. After that, it’s back to gated communities, private education, and NIMBY politics dressed up in progressive hashtags.

The problem isn’t that they’ve built a wall. The problem is that they think only other people’s walls are immoral. "

True US visas cancelled and good job,but The One Show is off air till 28th July so don't know where you got that daft idea from,but then again you are a conspiracy theorist so being thick and naive comes naturally to you!

Sorry about that joyo.  I did put "probably" in brackets after, insinuating* it was a joke aimed towards the BBC.

My fault.  I did say I'd write you like you were a 5 year old.

*hinting at something
