Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The government has "strongly condemned" chants at Glastonbury Festival from rap punk duo Bob Vylan calling for "death" to the Israeli military and broadcast live on the BBC.

Rapper Bobby Vylan led chants of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]" during their set, which came just before Belfast rap trio Kneecap.

A BBC spokesperson said some of the comments were "deeply offensive", adding it had issued a warning on screen about "very strong and discriminatory language". The set will not be available to rewatch on BBC iPlayer.

Police said they were reviewing videos of comments made by Bob Vylan and Kneecap to decide whether any offences had been committed.

Just chiming in with some lyrics from the great musician, Tim Minchin

And if you look into your motherfucking heart and tell me true

If this motherfucking stupid fucking song offended you

With its filthy fucking language and its fucking disrespect

If it made you feel angry, go ahead and write a letter

But if you find me more offensive than the fucking possibility

~~The pope protected priests when they were getting fucking fiddly~~ The IDF shot civilians when they were getting hungry

Then listen to me, motherfucker, this here is a fact:

You are just as morally misguided as that motherfucking

Power-hungry, self-aggrandised bigot in the ~~stupid fucking hat~~ Israeli government

Fuck the IDF, and fuck every single piece of shit making excuses for murdering civilians for the unholy crime of being born somewhere.
