Collecting Art, take a look ‘We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC’, the broadcaster has said Alastair Lockhart 1 minute ago COMMENTS The BBC has said it will no longer broadcast performances deemed “high risk” live after Bob Vylan’s controversial appearance at Glastonbury.
