"Voice Of An IDIOT!" - Speakers Withdraw From Hay Fest Over Israeli And Fossil Fuel Links
Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by The Jewish Telegraph’s Paul Harris who says it’s “ridiculous” speakers are pulling out of Hay Festival over its Israeli ties.
The Hay Festival has decided to end its partnership with its primary sponsor due to an increasing number of speakers refusing to participate in the event.
Nish Kumar, a popular British comedian, is the most recent individual to withdraw from the festival due to its association with investment management company Baillie Gifford.
Additionally, Charlotte Church, along with other well-known figures, has joined the movement urging for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

I support Israel. I don't understand why Israel is not 'allowed' to defend itself and to recover its hostages. No other attacked country would tolerate this bizarre blaming culture. It is so obvious that it is Hamas who are the villains here.
No one is blaming Ukraine for fighting back.

The sad thing is those nasty older people pushing woke. I don't know whether they're really stupid enough to believe it, but I suspect most have other devious intents.

Think about it. Islam is always the aggressor. It is a defensive war for Israel. But if you look the amount of conquests Islam had it is hard to say they are not the aggressor. Hamas are doing jihad. Jihad is what made Islam flourish. Think people think. If you hate Jihad you hate Hamas. Islam is the root cause for this.

@@didasharara4981 Ibn Kathir is an expert on Islam and he states in his commentary on Q2:256 "...all people of the world should be called to Islam , if anyone of them refuses to do so or refuses to pay the jizyah *they should be fought till they are k----d (censored for YT trust and safety)* " Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi is an expert on Islam and he explains the purpose of Jihad and the Jizyah (no not just like out income tax) "...This is the aim of Jihad with the Jews and the Christians and it is not to force them to become Muslims and adopt the `Islamic Way of Life.' They should be forced to pay Jizyah in order to *put an end to their independence and supremacy* so that they should not remain rulers and sovereigns in the land. These powers should be wrested from them by the followers of the true Faith, who should assume the sovereignty and lead others towards the Right Way HAMAS are invoking the "divine" command to "drive them out from where they drove you out (false narrative)", this is HAMAS and the wider Islamic world waging a religious war on the Jews if you think otherwise tell me if things would change should every Jew in Israel embrace Islam and take their shahada in the morning, if you say nothing would change please explain why not. ****Note to the YT trust and safety team and only the YT team**** Before putting me on “the naughty step” again and threatening account closure for the umpteenth time can you please check whether anything I have said is factually incorrect, not supported by Islamic sources or a direct response to hateful and/or abusive comments by the person who reported me or the person who made the original comment, and it would be nice if you actually identified *exactly* what was supposedly hateful and why by responding to my feedback, feedback that you request. Due to the preponderance of false flagging from a very specific group of people I will be wording my comments very carefully to avoid it, your “community guidelines” and willingness to appease are being weaponised to prevent any criticism of/response to the dishonest and often abhorrent views being expressed by some on your platform.

If, God forbid, Charlotte Church had spent the last 7 months as a hostage, in a dungeon with Hamas and suffering the abuses from them - and I’m extremely glad she hasn’t- would she be still supporting Palestine? How can she not identify even a little bit with the women at the music festival, who’ve been hostages since then? There were musicians amongst them - how can she not think of them?

Why do people expect showbiz celebreties to know or understand anything outside their own speciality? CC is entitled to her own view and one could argue with her about that. Her choice to try to influence the Hay Festival is the questionable behaviour. There she is at least putting her reputation as a reliable performer on the line. No doubt some producers and event organisers will think twice about booking her in future. Of course, she may be cultivating a section of her audience who agree with her, but I'd have thought her appeal had been mainly to older and wiser people.

The hay festival is a celebration of upper middle class virtue signalling and has been for years.
Apart from lap tops and computers, mobile phones, prescription drugs, pillcams, gps systems and a list os over 6,000 start ups that originated in Israel, what have the Israeli's ever done for us?
My dad lives in Hay. The festival is full of irritating 'Hoorah Tim Nice but dims' blocking up the place with their pastel jumpers, tied around their necks. It's like a libdem jamboree. They are thick as mince, walking in the middle of roads and asking daft questions, like where to buy Ugandan goat tapioca. I vowed never to visit when the festival was on, several years ago as I have a very short fuse and a strong compulsion to advise them that I consider them human detritus. This boycott confirms my opinion.
