Why So Few Black And Asian People At Glastonbury?
Lenny Henry, that stalwart champion of 'diversity', says he is “always surprised” by the lack of black and brown people at Glastonbury, as he called for better representation of ethnic minorities in all facets of British society.
Are they prevented from buying tickets - or is it that they just don't fancy living for several days in a tent in a muddy field?

Much like Diane Abbott (who is a racist), David Lammy and a few others, Lenny Henry sees racism in pretty much everything, but to crowbar a racist slant into black people choosing not to attend Glastonbury is absurd.

ladybirder - // Nobody's mentioned the loos. Filthy my daughter said and took one look at them and went back home again.
Are they usually that bad? //
Thirty seconds after any festival opens its gates, the toilets are unusable for the remainder of the time the event is running.
It's a mystery why people are toilet-trained adults and would not dream of leaving their home toilets in such a state, seem utterly unable to use a portaloo without leaving it unfit for anyone else following them.
I am grateful to have press facilities at festivals, where toilets are still fit for use, and not have to rely on the appalling toilets that are an unpleasant feature of outdoor festivals in the UK.

Urghh you've just reminded me of when I was in Tunisia and the coach stopped at some loos. I really needed to use them and queued for quite a while. When it eventually got to my turn I walked into the cubicle, looked, gagged and walked out again. The contents were higher than the seat.
Sorry Naomi, spoiling your thread. I'll clear off and spoil some somewhere else:-(

Not at all, LB. Carry on.
And speaking of Tunisia, on one of my trips there, because of the 'facilities' on offer, I waited 125 miles until I got back to my hotel for a wee. There's fortitude for you!
One 'ladies' I came across in one of the few and far between villages on the Israeli border in the Sinai desert was the worst I've ever seen though. A line of holes in the ground, no cubicles, no 'flushers', not even a bucket of water to sling down the 'holes' - and no hand washing facilities. I won't describe it further. Glastonbury? Pah!! They don't know they're born! ;o)
