Common Ground Cafe banned from festivals

common%20ground Common Ground Cafe banned from festivalsYears ago, sleep deprived and damp from a leaking tent (and quite possibly having a horrific comedown) I stumped across a wonderful haven called The Common Ground Cafe. A lack of money didn’t stop them providing me with blankets and porridge and forever, I felt I owed them something. Well… it turns out that they’re all a bit… mental.
The (seemingly lovely) hippies that owned Common Ground are a Christian fundamentalist sect which have been banned from attending this year’s Reading festival after the Guardian revealed that the sect was using rock events to distribute anti-semitic literature. The festival organiser, Mean Fiddler, yesterday turned down an application from Twelve Tribes to bring its mobile cafe, The Common Ground, to Reading. The cafe was a popular meeting point at this year’s Glastonbury festival, where sect members gave out literature attacking multiculturalism and blaming Jews for the “murder” of Jesus.
