Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 69200, member: 636"] A Manchester newspaper has paid damages totaling 16,000 pounds to Pascal Robinson of UK punk-rap group Bob Vylan after falsely reporting he performed Nazi salutes during concerts. The Manchester Evening News and its parent company Reach issued an apology for the October 6 article, which quoted a Jewish organization claiming the performer's stage behavior. The publication has removed the Nazi salute reference and added a correction. Robinson stated the accusation misrepresented a meditation and stretching exercise the duo uses to begin their performances. Bob Vylan has faced multiple consequences since leading an anti-IDF chant at Glastonbury, including visa revocations that forced the cancellation of American dates and dropped performances on a European tour with Gogol Bordello.
