Ofcom investigating the BBC for live streaming Bob Vylan Glastonbury set

It's the latest in the ongoing saga

The band found themselves in hot water after leading chants of “death, death to the IDF” on stage at the music festival, among other chants.

This led to much criticism from many people, including the BBC, the Prime Minister and Glastonbury Festival intself.

Broadcasted live on the BBC on iPlayer, the broadcaster quickly decided not to make the set available on catch up.

Meanwhile, Glastonbury Festival said that the chants had “crossed a line” and that they were “appalled”.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement: “There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech.”

Now, reports are coming in that Ofcom are investigating the BBC for allowing the performance to be live streamed on iPlayer.

The watchdog said in a statement: “We are very concerned about the live stream of this performance, and the BBC clearly has questions to answer.

“We have been speaking to the BBC over the weekend and we are obtaining further information as a matter of urgency, including what procedures were in place to ensure compliance with its own editorial guidelines.”
