🚨Formal Complaint Concerning Article in The Spectator: “And now let’s bomb Glastonbury”
The Commissioner
@metpoliceuk@MetCC
Dear Commissioner
I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding the article published by The Spectator on 5 July 2025, entitled “And now let’s bomb Glastonbury”. It can be accessed via the following link:
https://t.co/AFOPEKiXuN
The article poorly cloaked in satire appears to advocate, encourage, or glorify the use of a bomb (nuclear weapon) to target and kill attendees at Glastonbury Festival, an identifiable civilian population. The piece states, inter alia:
“A small yield nuclear weapon … would immediately remove … everybody who is hugely annoying”
This language cannot credibly be interpreted as mere satire or hyperbole
It constitutes a call for mass lethal violence against a specific group of individuals attending a well-known, peaceful music festival
Whilst it refers to a nuclear weapon those encouraged may utilise a conventional or improvised explosive device or other act of violence
The headline alone may be sufficient to meet the threshold of a criminal offence noting that much of the context is behind a paywall
I believe this may breach a number of criminal laws, including the following:
1. Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2006 – Encouragement of terrorism
It is an offence to publish or cause another to publish a statement that is likely to be understood by members of the public as a direct or indirect encouragement or other inducement to the commission, preparation, or instigation of acts of terrorism. While the article references a nuclear weapon (a weapon of mass destruction), its context and intent must be considered carefully. Should it be interpreted as serious or inciting violence, even through provocation or humour, it may fall within the remit of this section
2. Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986 Fear or provocation of violence
It is an offence to use threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause a person to believe that immediate unlawful violence will be used against them, or to provoke the immediate use of unlawful violence
3. Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986 Harassment, alarm or distress
Even absent an intent to incite violence, words likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to the public may constitute an offence. Given the real-world implications and visibility of this article, this provision is clearly engaged
4. Section 127, Communications Act 2003 Criminalises grossly offensive or menacing messages sent via public communications networks
5. Part III, Public Order Act 1986 Prohibits publishing material likely to stir up racial hatred against ethnic or national groups. In this case references are made to Palestinian symbols therefore hatred against Muslims, Arabs and Palestinians
I respectfully request that the Met Police conduct an investigation into this article & determine whether any criminal offence has been committed by:
The author; The editors; The Spectator
In my opinion the article appears to breach the threshold for incitement or encouragement of violence under UK law & may pose a serious threat to public safety, particularly in the context of rising tensions over political protests and state discourse around Palestine and related activism
In an environment where public protest & legitimate criticism are being scrutinised under counterterrorism laws, it is essential that calls for lethal violence, even couched in “provocation,” be taken seriously regardless of the political or cultural affiliations of the author or the publication
Note the Home Secretary’s decision to lower the threshold of terrorism to matters of protest evidenced by the Police arresting alleged supporters of Palestine Action today which means this article must have blasted through that threshold with the force of a ballistic missile, if the law is to be applied with even a flicker of consistency
I would be grateful to be updated
Making the UK's windfall tax on oil and gas companies permanent would raise enough money to fund the just transition away from fossil fuels and create the high-quality green jobs of the future.
