Airline says singer’s defiant interview breached its policy on politically sensitive or controversial subjects
British Airways has halted its sponsorship of Louis Theroux’s podcast over an interview with the frontman of Bob Vylan.
The airline has withdrawn its adverts from the journalist’s podcast after he interviewed Bobby Vylan – whose real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster.
On it, Vylan said he was “not regretful” of leading chants of “death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]” during a performance at the Glastonbury festival this summer. He said he would “do it again tomorrow”.
British Airways told the PA Media that the podcast’s content breached its sponsorship policy.
