Our trip to Europe featured some of the biggest news stories of the year: Black Sabbath's farewell concert in Birmingham, Kneecap getting blackballed by the BBC during Glastonbury, only to have the band they used to replace them, Bob Vylan, take to the stage to call for "Death to the IDF". Both Kneecap and Bob Vylan have had their US visas revoked for the temerity to have opinions. Bob Vylan's self-produced record went to number 1 in the UK following the above, and Kneecap's 'Fine Art' charged back into the charts at number 7.
