The mountain of rubbish left by virtue-signalling Glastonbury crowd: Hippy crack canisters and an ocean of plastic left by right-on crowd after fury at 'death to the IDF' sing-along
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 30, 2025 | Freya Barnes

The mighty task of the post-Glastonbury clean-up got underway this morning as volunteers were left sorting through mounds of plastic waste, drug paraphernalia and hippy crack canisters.

Glastonbury revellers have long been accused of hypocrisy for leaving Worthy Farm buried under heaps of waste - despite the virtue-signalling eco-conscious event preaching sustainability.

November 17th, 2024, tickets for the 2025 Festival sold out in 35 minutes. Tickets cost £373.50 ($511.5 U.S.), plus a £5 ($6.8) booking fee, an increase of £18.50 ($25.3) on 2024. In January 2025 it was reported that the festival had doubled its profit to the year March 2024, bringing in £5.9 million ($8.1 million) pre-tax, donating £5.2 million ($7.1 million) to charitable organizations in the same period. On January 3rd, 2025, Neil Young was confirmed as the first headliner for Glastonbury 2025. With these costs, the Glastonbury revellers must think the high cost of their tickets should pay for their lack of control over their littering. This is what you get when one lives in a socialist country: somebody will do it all for them. For them, money becomes the root of all evil. Socialist UK and those surrounding nations have become nations sliding to moral decay. Let that be a lesson for us all.

Years ago in DC there were comparison pics of the capital grounds after a liberal protest and conservative protest. The libs left behind mountains of cups, butts and general trash. The conservative folks made a point of cleaning up after themselves. Libs are lazy, hypocritical losers.

Yet the trash gets picked up. I’m sure it’s like magic to them. Deny permits for these events until the hypocrites are on the hook for cleaning up afterwards.

The event promoter should be required to share the cost of cleanup

Yep, the usual leftie hypocrites. Stoned, leftie hypocrites.

In 2009 some "anti-war" protesters read me online talking about their trash and sidewalk chalk. I also said that volunteers would be cleaning off their graffiti and picking up trash as soon as they left at their upcoming protest. (This was about 100 people for them and 90 for us.)

They must have talked about it because as they passed me by (as we was counter-protesting their leaving) several made a point that they didn't grafitti the sidewalks and picked up their trash. That cracked me up. They did a pretty good job, too! That one time!

I went to Glenn Beck’s 812 project in DC many years ago with my son; what I noticed right off the bat was the mountains of trash piled up at TRASH cans which were overflowing as the park service wasn’t keeping up with hauling it all away. At the end of the day the grounds were cleaner than when they’d started.

We went to fireworks one year and… fuggeddaboudit. Like a sea of trash.

Not to mention the stuff left behind.

But notice how greedy the socialist money grubbers are???

Money is bad for everyone else but themselves.

“Hippy crack canisters”

Sounds a lot more ominous than “Jimmy Crack Corn.”

Pity that the scumbag “Bob Vylan” was shown yelling “death to the IDF!” because his main track - and most of his “songs” - deal with mocking the idea of being “English,” and celebrating white genocide and white replacement via mass migration. He is a virulent, dangerous racist who belongs in prison. Instead they put patriots like Tommy Robertson in solitary.
