There was ‘a real energy for a better politics’ (Picture: Rex)

Jon Snow has ‘no recollection’ of whether he chanted ‘F*ck the Tories’ at Glastonbury this weekend.

The veteran Channel 4 news anchor was described as a massive lad by a fan who took a selfie with him and posted it to Twitter.

‘Boss place that Glasto,’ the photo was captioned. ‘Having a dance with Jon Snow and hearing him shout f*ck the tories is what dream are made of.’

A follow-up tweet added that he acknowledged broadcasters weren’t meant to be biased: ‘Boss when he turned around just after he got off and sarcastically went “I’m supposed to be neutral”’.




Metro.co.uk asked Channel 4 whether this was an accurate account of what happened.

But they coyly diverted the question and instead directed us to this statement from Mr Snow: ‘After a day at Glastonbury I can honestly say I have no recollection of what was chanted, sung or who I took over 1000 selfies with.’

He previously tweeted about the ‘real energy for a better politics’ among 200,000 people at Glasto.

It was not clear if that energy included chanting.

Ofcom, the regulating body for TV and radio, says that broadcasters have a duty to be impartial – however, this would not extend to Mr Snow’s personal life.

Whether or not he got carried away with calls for the revolution, he seems to have had a good time…
