alchresearch   214 #39 Posted July 3, 2019 Good news on the tents this year, although its not clear if its the whole site or just one field:  Glastonbury organiser claims 99.3% of tents were taken home this year https://metro.co.uk/2019/07/02/glastonbury-organiser-claims-99-3-tents-taken-home-year-10104656/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Without Greenpeace we’d almost certainly have no Extinction Rebellion, no council recycling and no government pledges to reduce carbon emissions so it could be argued that Glastonbury’s green credentials are way above most organisations. It takes six weeks to remove the rubbish and restore the fields to some semblance of farming land. The whole kit and caboodle is a waste of resources. Only the greenie sandel wearing and tree hugging unwashed would be allowed to hold this disgrace of an event.  Angel1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No, it takes six weeks as anyone who has taken an interest in this waste of time knows. It has been stated for the public's consumption, to restore the land as was, takes six weeks to complete.

Sigh you said to hold an event so I replied to you about those that put festivals on.  As for those attending, the vast majority are students, whether hippies or not, also lots of families go, including none hippies, I've met an airline pilot there before, definitely not one of the great unwashed  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

So you're confident that no other festivals are ever allowed to go ahead? Did you think about what you were typing, even as you typed it?

Funny then, that it is the Conservative Mendip District Council which has licensed the festival at Glastonbury for the past 48 years! 😂😅🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
