BBC’s Tim Davie was ‘consulted’ during death to IDF chant | UK | News
During the Glastonbury performance, a rap duo cheered “death, death to IDF” and then consulted the BBC General Manager. Telegraph reported.
Tim Davie, who visited the staff at the festival on Saturday, was informed about the explosion shortly after it took place. Bob Vylan’s performance should not be presented on demand. However, the clip remained accessible with the rewind function of BBC İplayer for five more hours.
Although it was not taken into account at the time, a BBC spokesman admitted that the company later regretted that it did not do it now.
A BBC source said: “Tim was there for a few hours to see the team. He was noticed during the time he was there. He intervened to ensure that performance was not presented on demand and was very clear.
“Live flow brings certain technological challenges. We would have downloaded it with Gez. He would ask what the options were, but not as simple as hitting and downloading a button.”
BBC was approached by Express for a comment.
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said that the incident asked serious questions about Mr. Davie’s leadership.
Speaking at the House of Commons, he said: “When you have an editorial failure, this is something to be kept. When there are a few people, it becomes a leadership problem.”
The comments from Peter Prinsley deputy said: “The murder of hundreds of Jews at the Nova Music Festival in October 2023 led to this war.
“So, in this country, Jews like me will be guaranteed about the Editorial processes of the BBC? And who will be held responsible for this mistake on earth?”
Ms. Nandy said that accountability was a “extremely important point ve and said that it was şey something I impressed with the BBC leadership”.
It is time to contribute to the list of increased anti-Semitism debates surrounding the BBC. The publisher had to apologize to “serious flaws ında in a Gaza documentary that could not specify that the narrator was the son of the Hamas official. The larger Israel-Gaza scope has also under fire.

While the set is blocked from the optional library of BBC IPlayer, the viewers can return and access for hours after performance.
Since then, the BBC apologized, and apologized, saying that the words were “completely unacceptable” and “no place in our air waves”.
“We welcome Glastonbury’s performance condemnation,” the publisher added.
Speaking with Daily T, Ms. Haskel said, “Who is responsible for this? This is the full of violence, ethnic cleansing, ethnic cleansing, the destruction and destruction of the only Jewish state in the world.
“So if there is no one who will take responsibility, if no one will be fired for such an ugly thing, I think Tim Davie should take responsibility because it must be accountable for it.”
When Mr. Davie is asked whether he believes that he should resign, he said, “If there is no one responsible for it and no one is expelled for such an ugly thing, Tim Davie should take responsibility and resign.”
He also requested a complete investigation of how the BBC covers the Middle East and added: “There must be an investigation into the scope of the BBC.
“It was completely prejudiced. Many mistakes were made. Not only since October 7, but also about the scope of the Middle East and how they address anti-Semitism in England.
