'Ipswich punk-rap duo Bob Vylan grabbed the headlines at Glastonbury Festival over the weekend...Bobby...appeared to stand by his on-stage comments, with the caption: "I said what I said." He told fans he had been "inundated" with messages of both "support and hatred" and also called for "a change in foreign policy". The provocative band were formed in Suffolk in 2017 by the singer, guitarist and poet alongside drummer Bobbie Vylan. Their lyrics tackle themes around racism, police violence, capitalism and fatherhood; as well as the ills of homophobia and toxic masculinity. He [Bobby} was invited to perform at the Black and Asian Police Association conference in Manchester in 2005, and served as a mentor for young people in his home town Ipswich. He once said in an interview with Tribune magazine that he started the band Bob Vylan in a bid to "wind people up", score some victories and alleviate boredom.'

They've been invited to play at a conference based on skin colour, which sounds about right

Interesting you cherry picked that first half of the sentence with that and not the whole thing which reads 'He was invited to perform at the Black and Asian Police Association conference in Manchester in 2005, and served as a mentor for young people in his home town Ipswich.'

Really keen to know specifically what point you’re trying to make here, genuinely.

I wonder if anyone from that conference will be in the Avon and Somerset force team interviewing Bobby ?

But more importantly, now that I have referenced an article with the word 'provocateur' I am waiting for Phil to report that Town are seeking to replace attacking provocateur Liam Delap with...not Bobby Vylan, 'cos at 34 he's not got much space for development under McKenna.
