Police say there is "insufficient" evidence for "a realistic prospect of conviction" over the performance at this year's Glastonbury Festival.

The rapper in punk duo Bob Vylan will not face further action over his “death death to the IDF” chants at Glastonbury Festival, police have said.

Rapper Bobby Vylan, real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster led crowds on the festival’s West Holts Stage in the chants about the Israel Defence Forces during the group’s performance in June.

Avon and Somerset Police said a criminal investigation was under way shortly afterwards, with a senior detective appointed to lead the investigation.

    Every time you use “the Jews” as a pejorative makes you look more and more like a Nazi and brings you one step closer to a ban. This is NOT a Nazi bar:

    Feel free to criticize Zionists and Israeli war crimes all you want, but if you can’t (or won’t) separate those actions from the Jewish people themselves you can GTFO.
