Brendan O'Neill on cue with a perennial moan about middle class liberal lefties going to Glastonbury. Who are all hypocrites because the festival has fences while the attendees all support open borders.
He appears to have it in for Caitlin Moran, probably got the brush off from her 20 years ago after making a clumsy pass in the Groucho.

'on cue'

Brendan talks a lot about what ordinary people and the "genuine working class" want. I can assure him that genuine working class people don't read the Times (nor for that matter Spiked), don't obsess over obscure political commentators, and don't give two hoots about spats between them.

Brendan rails against the comfortable chattering classes, which he is very much a product and a part of. The cunt.

Young people are enjoying themselves. HOW DARE THEY!

Was watching what a lovely encouraging audience a nervous former girl band star (I think she was in Little Mix) was performing in front of. Is this audience O'Neill despises a big improvement on my day when hairy rockers would have thrown bottles of piss at her? Err yes they definitely are.

I'm off to a dog friendly country music festival next weekend. I'll send Brendan pics for a follow-up article: "Bloody stetson wearing, pet loving bastards, I hate them."

Neil Young was pants, mind.

Neil gave a solid crowd pleasing set that could have been delivered anytime with Crazy Horse in the past six decades. That's not a criticism and is what the old legends do, usually brilliantly. Robert Plant and Bob Dylan being two exceptions who trust their audience to allow them to deviate from a greatest hits show.

Neil Young has the twin advantages of a good back catalogue and having always sounded old, so he doesn't date. In comparison John Fogerty's songs are wonderful but his voice is shot.

It was shite.
I said to Mrs A, "That was shite" and she said "He always is."

Well, he started poorly and the sound problems didn't help, but he did get better. And I know he's 79 and has never been renowned as a sharp dresser, but not to put too fine a point on it, he looked kind of, well, unhygienic.

Rod Stewart: Maggie was too woke.

Fretboard on the back of the neck is a new one on me, I think I'll pass.

It's all a bit weird, innit?

You're telling me, also why is Farage fingering a chord on Rod's guitar which Rod is not strumming...it seems AI doesn't understand guitars yet.

I notice he had a piece in the Telegraph the other day. Right next to Charles Moore. Brendan O'Neill is a cunt. One of the worst, in fact. A total fucking fraud.

Wanted- Backing singer for Rod Stewart, fat, brunette or black women need not apply.
Busta Rhymes takes the prize for top panto performance but Rod's run him close.

I was thinking something more Freudian

Fuck me.
Rod is doing 'Love Train' (Cat Stevens).
Badly. The voice has gone and he can't carry a tune in a bucket.

Worse than Spock doing Bilbo Baggins.

Sometimes it's ok to rest on your laurels.

Canny sax blower, mind.
