The Bob Vylan fiasco isn’t over for the BBC after the duo said it would now sue the BBC. For what remains unclear…
A statement released by the act this afternoon says:
“We have decided to take legal action against the BBC.
In the immediate aftermath of our performance at Glastonbury 2025, The BBC wasted no time in placing labels upon us that did not, do not and never will fit.
As a corporation that receives the majority of its funding from the public, it has disappointingly continued to prove how little it represents the interests of the people and our access to unbiased news and information.
The BBC have attempted to silence those that oppose the heinous crimes taking place in Palestine, instead labelling them as anti-semitic, editing their speeches, removing their content and even blocking the release of documentaries that challenge the desired narrative of The BBC and it’s [sic] top brass.
These responses are unacceptable.
So seeing the opportunity to remind them the power of the people that they are attempting to silence, we had no choice but to take on this fight.
In fact, we take great pleasure in serving them that reminder in court.”
Another headache for new Director General Matt Brittin, who is in front of MPs at the Culture select committee next week for the first time…
Badenoch said at her speech on Monday morning: “We are absolutely ready to fight a general election. We saw the results in Aberdeen South: 50% of the vote. Because we can unite the country… It’s about uniting the country, for God’s sake, behind a centre-right agenda.”
