Police Have Dropped All Charges Against Bob Vylan Over Their Chants At Glastonbury
British police have confirmed they will take no further action over comments made by punk-rap duo Bob Vylan about the IDF at their performance at Glastonbury earlier this year, citing “insufficient evidence”.
Avon and Somerset Police said today [Tuesday December 23) that the comments did not meet the criminal threshold required “for any person to be prosecuted”.
The force said in a statement: “We have concluded, after reviewing all the evidence, that it does not meet the criminal threshold outlined by the CPS for any person to be prosecuted,.
“No further action will be taken on the basis there is insufficient evidential for there to be a realistic prospect of conviction.”

While performing at Glastonbury in June, Bob Vylan led the 200,000-strong crowd in chats of ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘Death to the IDF’, which was broadcast live on the BBC.
Avon and Somerset police spoke to Bob Vylan and contacted about 200 members of the public as part of the investigation (!), so it sounds like the lack of prosecution wasn’t for want of trying. What a wonderful use of police resources, eh?
Then again, if the powers that be really wanted Bob Vylan buried over this, surely they’d have found a way to make it happen.
Ultimately, they may have been dropped by their management, had their US Visas revoked and a bunch of shows cancelled worldwide, but at least Bob Vylan don’t need to worry about prison time. Seems fair enough, really.
