Duo Bob Vylan have mocked Metropolitan police chief Mark Rowley for the force’s decision to ‘investigate’ them – again – for repeating the now infamous death, death to the IDF” chant at the Al Quds Day 2026 protest.

Rowley and co already looked at the chant by Vylan rapper, real name Pascal Robinson-Foster – in 2025 when it was first made. It decided no further action was appropriate. So did the Avon and Somerset force, which has jurisdiction in Glastonbury, where the rap duo first used the chant.

In a widely liked and shared X post that drew hundreds of supportive comments, Bob Vylan took to social media to say:

They’re a disgrace, the harassment to British nationals for calling out genocide is ridiculous….Will the met investigate @lfi or the 2000 soldiers that killed kids in gaza returning to Britain?

But the ‘investigation’ will not be binned with the contempt it deserves, at least not yet. No self-humiliation or spinelessness is too great for the UK state apparatus when Israel demands action to intensify the ‘lawfare’ war against anti-genocide speech.
