While there is a bit of to and fro between them I think Brian is covering himself here. They would play if asked. But Eavis has done more than just argue against Brian’s personal views, he has also suggested the music and corporate leanings of the band don’t sit with the ethos of a Glastonbury. Which is even more insulting given Eavis loves Coldplay.

I'm not so sure about that I think Brian would forgive the musical comments etc far easier than the Badger Cull, farming problem, he is extremely passionate about animal welfare.

I believe that it's the other way round.
Eavis, like everyone has his own views political,or otherwise. . . He is probably at odds with a lot of Glastonbury's ticket buyers over the badger cull, and the war of words between him and Brian is his reason for not wanting Queen on the bill.
On Brian's side this is nothing new, he was against doing Glastonbury a few years ago because of Eavis's stance on hunting and wildlife welfare.
Eavis's is covering himself by saying Queen is not their "thing". He and Emily has promoted the festival as being the one that everyone wants to play and they aim high and attract a huge cross section of styles and artists.
When you're talking headliners on the Pyramid Stage they regularly go into "brand" territory and why would one band's anthem be less fitting than someone else's.
By saying Queen don't fit he is trying to steer people from the real reason which has nothing to do with music.

I guess newbies since the film won't be familiar with Brian being the crazy badger man that older fans will know and roll their eyes at.

Right. Because Brian was big into animal welfare in the 70s , 80s and early 90s. I must have missed that. He won’t play a festival because he disagrees the landowners approach to wildlife population management but was ok with playing a resort linked to South Africa’s apartheid in the 80s.

OK

Not to discredit anyone else’s interpretation of it. I’m sure Brian disapproves of badger culling and didn’t approve of apartheid, but my impression is they would play Glastonbury if invited.

No point in Queen playing at all in my opinion because Freddie and John are not there.

I can envisage Brian, Roger and Adam on stage at Glastonbury with various ironic banners in the crowd sayingg 'We love you Deaky"

There are usually 'We Love You Adam' banners as Glamberts are 100 x more active than Queen fans. ?

I should imagine if they are offered anything it would be the tongue in cheek afternoon 'legends slot' at some point in the future (2020's is gone) which of course doesn't tally with Queen. As much as I hate it, Queen must be seriously wanting it as it's a big thing regarding UK press. But I see they're washing their hair over that weekend in Cologne and Zurich.

So glad Queen have turned down Glastonbury.
Adam can go by himself then get pelted with eggs and bottles (recycled) of course or Brian will moan.

Not been here for a while, nice to see it's still full of homophobs and dickheads, Funny thing is I used to read the same shit in the NME in the 70's and 80's about Fred...
The fact is Evis is wrong about TB, there is no evidence to back up his view, But I can understand him being irritated by May and viewing him as a do-gooder, it's a shame he diesn't look at the actual facts first.
Queen would love to play Glastonbury, Jim sent a hand written letter to Evis asking him, but if' he'd said yes, Jim would have had to do more than a hand written leter to Brian to get him to agree, Roger on the otherhand would jump at the chance.
