I’ve read some utter garbage in my time and I suppose it’s no surprise that this example comes from the Indy, but even so…
Van is an Abbey favourite. He’s played the community-oriented event three times before, and will headline again this September. But this time feels different. Why? Because Van Morrison has become a stain on music, an anti-social menace and someone who probably shouldn’t have access to a platform for a while. As a fan of the festival, I’m worried that Glastonbury’s reputation could be damaged by working with such a toxic human right now.
Wow, what did Van do?
Lately, he’s decried scientists and their “crooked facts”, urging people to “fight the pseudoscience” surrounding Coronavirus. He thinks governments “enslave” people with their silly lockdowns, and points fingers at people in power “who haven’t missed a pay cheque since this lockdown began”.
Apparently, these perfectly valid (and true) points make Van Morrison an extremist in the eyes of the cretin writing this piece. I regard it as putting him firmly in the good guys’ camp, frankly. The enemy is there for all to see. The enemy class is the state and all who sail in her and the journalists such as the one writing this poisonous article who help to keep this totalitarian nightmare going.
I’m with Van and am happy to nail my colours to the same mast on this one.
Van Morrison – all time great.
Independent – vile propaganda rag since forever. I wouldn’t sully my fish and chips with it.

Quite so. Talented musician v talentless wankstain of a journo.
Van M is entitled to his opinion without being ridiculed and cancelled. I thought this was called debate.
Nothing wrong with ridicule where it is appropriate. Which is what the writer of this idiotic article deserves.
All you get from a lockdown is another wave of infection when it ends. This always happens. If you have no vaccine you shield the weak and highly vulnerable and treat the rest as best you can. If you have a decent vaccine you do what is happening now re vaccinate the oldest first and work your way through society. Lockdowns don’t work. Only total isolation works. No-one really wants that unless it is a 90% mortality rate virus.
“Decent” vaccine? What we have is anything but. You can’t even call it a vaccine. What I call it is government sponsored genocide.

This guy is highly qualified to have an opinion.

I call the mRNA ones an inoculaton usually. They are not true vaccines. I refused the Pfizer one and my wife and I get the AZ one twice. 92% effective. I am seriously concerned about the pure mRNA ones.
Eric Clapton has suffered the same crap, since he had an adverse reaction to the jab, Clapton has taken up a Van Morrison anti lockdown song, “Stand and Deliver”.

The song, Clapton style

Well said that man. I am off to add a few of his songs to my playlist. I know that he only gets a thousandth of a penny everytime one is played, but if lots of others do it there might be some effect on some stats.
He’ll be remembered for his music long after this nonentity has died…
Stand and deliver, my first thought was to do with Adam Ant. OK it is a somewhat cliched blues song but I’ll add that one too.
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters is another awakened artist. He just refused Zuckerberger the rights to use Another Brick In The Wall in a video promoting Instagram. The language he used wasn’t so polite.

But appropriate and well received.
Are we at last going to see a reaction against the kind of people who think that anyone who disagrees with them has to be wrong by definition? Surely it is obvious that those with that level of confidence know very little about anything. Don’t people remember how clever they were when they were fourteen? Yes folks, that level of confidence.

I haven’t read the Independent in an age but you could pull in people off the street after several bottles of White Lightning and they’d be more coherent than ‘Oliver Keens’ just an execrable piece of prose. Hilarious in a way that this is what they have been reduced to..
Does seem that normies are waking up. There’s a retired nurse I know, lifelong NHS, clever woman too, though naturally somewhere left of the CCP. She’s definitely clocked the news.bias now, particularly with respect to GB News (no idea if she’s correct re GB news though, but it wouldn’t surprise)
It’s still probably too late though.
