The outspoken punk duo caused controversy when they chanted for the “death” of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at the Somerset festival in June, which was livestreamed by the broadcaster.

The ECU received four complaints about the performance relating to incitement to violence, terrorism or ethnic cleansing, hate speech and expressions of antisemitism.
