The band didn’t know about it by the sound of things 

I'm pretty sure the singer tells the guitarist to go to the boat when he goes in the crowd to make sure it gets shown on camera so they must have been somewhat aware, unless they just noticed it mid set and decided on that

I'm bemused by what Banksy thought it was trying to achieve in truth. Seems like a peculiar use of time and resources and the message seems muddled.


maybe he didn’t have a set outcome in mind. Maybe he wanted to set the boat afloat and see what people did in the real world when they were asked to hold it up.

I'm not blaming them.

 

Seeing a bunch of drunk, white middle-class people throwing it around like a beach ball was unbelievably crass and tastless.

I saw it more as being on a rough sea but that’s art for you I guess

Nothing against PJ Harvey, but I just can't comprehend this sentence, because Idles' energy is unrivalled!

 

Hope you enjoyed PJ though

I also can't comprehend this. As a long term Peej fan, this year's performance lacked energy (if I had to compare her against Idles, which I wouldn't do but you opened this can of worms). 

 

I'd go further to say of all performances, Idles had the most energy of the entire weekend. I literally didn't know a single song of theirs and now I am a massive fan and can't wait to see them later this year at Ally Pally.

I looked on Youtube for the Banksy boat clip when I got home last week, and the top results were 4 separate talking head pieces from GB News saying how disgusting it was, so make of that what you will.

I assumed that was the point
