Is it the right wing press or a British obsession to run down anything that is successful and free from the established way of doing things? Glastonbury – a festival which is basically enjoyed (at a cost of £335 per head) by 200000 people, is being criticised for its too middle class white audience and its too male biased lead artists. If this criticism came from the left I would understand, but the right are desperately trying to provoke culture wars. Several papers have reiterated complaints that chips cost £8. Firstly why did they not take somne containers with sandwichws and salad? Were there no rip off food vans during the Coronation? I do know that Eavis tries to moderate costs – so maybe the complainants should have shopped around a bit?
