“Corbyn to introduce rap duo Run the Jewels at Glastonbury” …. “ Mr Corbyn's shadow chancellor and long-term ally, John McDonnell, is also scheduled to appear at the Somerset festival, as well as Labour MP Clive Lewis…”

(Just as an aside, I’ve never heard of this band, so I googled the lyrics to some of their songs. Best I don’t post them).

oh dear, the lyrics are like that I take it?
Might have a look too.

Wonder why Corbyn etc. want to go and do something like that is a mystery to me.
Maybe they want to engage with the 'yoof'?
Is nowhere safe?
No, as we are seeing, nowhere is safe from Marxist propaganda especially where the inexperienced and ideologically prepared students are concerned.

We are heading for dangerous times.
Youngmafdog: Quite agree. Behind that bearded grin is a dreadful mindset. Think McDonnell is even worse. Doubtless they'll receive a rapturous reception.
Today's millenials have been closeted and prepared by the education system by the left. All part of the 'cradle to grave' concept by ensuring they cannot make their own decisions or look after themselves. Couple this with constant reality TV and a mindset that believes the world owes them a living and they are ripe for picking by the Marxists.

Corbyn and McDonnell are not Labour, they are Commies who have infiltrated the Labour party with Momentum. Unfortunately many dyed in the wool labour supporters can't see this. It is not dissimilar too the National Front infiltrating the Tories, except Tories would see it and oust them.
how shocking !

the rap words are NOT such as I would wish my mother to hear

RTJ raps are availale on you tube
Which Tory MPs will be attending Glasto ?
Question Author
Don't know. The report doesn't mention Tory MPs. It focuses on Labour MPs.
Am I the only one on AB who hasn't a clue what "Grime" music is ?
Question Author
From the lyrics I saw when I googled this band 'Grime' is an understatement.
Seriously, ... a senior politician endorsing this kind of scum !?

Stop the world. I want to get off.
Let's pray (yes, a link to yesterday's thread) that the stunt backfires, especially with those lyrics.
I have heard Theresa May is going to be doing a poignant rendition of the Beatles' "Yesterday"
Tim Farron is doing "Personal Jesus" with Depeche Mode
and Boris Johnson will be along to reassure everyone with "I'll be there"
Wow,,,,,,,,,,,,life altering news there :-)
Maybe all the related expenses should be included in their electoral costs as they are clearly campaigning.
Glastonbury has long been associated with leftwing causes. Greenpeace, Oxfam and Wateraid have for many years been the events Worthy Causes.
Left Field, the travelling stage and bar started out in Glastonbury in 2000. The event is organised by Geoff Martin, organiser of the Battersea and Wandsworth TUC, and sponsored by Cooperative Insurance, the GMB union, the Amicus union, Clause IV, Ethical Threads and the Workers Beer Company.
Tony Benn was a popular guest at Glstonbury, so for ABers to suddenly discover that the festival is politicised is rather amusing.
As for news, this is 30 years out of date.
Shock - horror! Rap stars swear!! Surely it is up to the organisers of Glasto just who they invite to perform and who they invite to introduce the acts? It is not as if those attending the festival will be force-fed Jeremy Corben, et al, as there are so many stages/performing areas at Glastonbury. Those who do not care for Rap music will no doubt be elsewhere. I don't see a problem.

///Am I the only one on AB who hasn't a clue what "Grime" music is?

You appear to be the only one on AB who does not have Google.
LOL ^^^^
I'm often puzzled by people saying 'I've no idea what that is' when they're on the internet.
Fair enough Gromit. Didn't know.
