A video with a voiceover by actor Michael Sheen, in support of the NHS, from Glastonbury has gone viral. However, Glastonbury cancel Corbyn after they banned a film about his political struggle from this year’s event.
Carol Voderman shared the video and wrote: “Our Welshman @michaelsheen reading the words of Aneurin Bevan, the truly fine politician who fought for and spearheaded the creation of the NHS. Thank you @glastonbury 🙏
“Please please encourage all young people at Glastonbury to register for Voter ID.”
Glastonbury cancel Corbyn
However, a “conspiracy theory” film about former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will not be screened at Glastonbury following a complaint by a leading Jewish group.
Oh, Jeremy Corbyn… The Big Lie, was set to be shown on Sunday at the festival, but that will not be happening now.
Announcing the cancellation of the screening, a Glastonbury Festival statement said it believed organisers booked the film in “good faith, in the hope of provoking political debate”.
“It’s become clear that it is not appropriate for us to screen it at the festival. Glastonbury is about unity and not division, and we stand against all forms of discrimination.”
Among those who contributed to the documentary were writer Jackie Walker and filmmaker Ken Loach.
It has left some people slightly confused as back in 2017 he was greeted as a hero at the festival…
