A vegan festival aiming to raise money for rescued animals has been cancelled after a complaint was sent to its venue by controversial lobby group UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI).
The centre, owned by the Scout Association, told MEE on Thursday that it has cancelled the festival's hire of the venue.
Sources with knowledge of the matter told MEE that UKLFI had sent a letter to the venue saying: "Several acts on the festival’s published line-up have an extensive public record of producing and promoting material which is antisemitic, endorses violence against Israelis and Jews, and is liable to stir up racial hatred in a manner which engages the Public Order Act 1986.
"Our specific concerns relate to HAWXX, Active Slaughter, and Millie Manders and the Shutup.

Hopefully this gains a fuckload of attention and convinces some Pro Palestine bands to play an even bigger concert in Aid of the animals..

I wonder how many actually Nazi festivals they’ve taken action against. Guessing a number somewhere close to zero.

Israel complaining about Active Slaughter is quite ironic.

UKLFI is loyal to a foreign government. The clue is in the name.
