Veteran newsman Jon Snow given warning by C4 bosses after he ‘chanted f**k the Tories’ at Glastonbury
Scolding comes days after a guest on C4 News claimed that Snow called him a bell-end after an on-air clash over bias
NEWSMAN Jon Snow has been given a dressing down by TV bosses over a foul-mouthed anti-Tory song at Glastonbury.
The veteran presenter, 69, sparked resignation calls after he was accused of chanting “F*** the Tories” by a festival-goer last weekend before posing for a photo on Twitter.
Days later a guest on Channel 4 News claimed that Snow called him a bell-end after an on-air clash over bias.
Station chiefs confirmed Snow has been warned about his future conduct. A spokesman told The Sun: “Jon has been spoken to and reminded of his responsibilities around due impartiality.”
The journalist’s antics at Worthy Farm were documented by Twitter user Danny Millea, who posted a photo of him posing with revellers which went viral.
Snow failed to deny the claims, saying in a statement that he had “no recollection” of what was sung.
But Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said his chants were a sackable offence, adding: “I think it’s time Channel 4 told Jon Snow where to go.”
And former Tory minister Rob Wilson said he now had “no credibility for impartiality”.
