Kneecap...

[trueblue1234]

It was a stupid thing to do. And theres  no taking it back now.
That said, now is as good a time as any to highlight the hypocrisy being demonstrated by both politicians and the media. The sack clothes and ashes will make no difference to them. So use the opportunity to shine a light on their own actions.

This is going to backfire on the Israelis

Kneecap and their management are playing this very well

They've apologised and now every time it's being mentioned, they immediately turn the conversation to what is going on in Gaza and anecdotally, I get the sense that public opinion is really turning

I don't think the Israeli c***ts have legislated for the fact that these guys admirably don't seem to give a flying fcuk about the revenue lost from cancelled gigs

They'd assumed that the threat of lost visas and reduced income would shut them up

[JoG2]

Many bands now standing up in support of Kneecap, and rightly so. Hopefully this is the start of a huge wave of artistic solidarity

Can only imagine the pressure being put on Spotify, YouTube etc atm as Kneecaps number of streams is going through the roof atm

Edit: Jim Allister now talking about Kneecap on Nolan FM... Watch this space

Edit 2: Allister wants Kneecap jailed

[Milltown Row2]

MPs outraged over the suggestion that they should be killed, while all the time enabling the actual killing of tens of thousands of people, most of them women and children.

Spare me. 

Stop with this crap.. they were a thousand percent wrong to say murder your Tory MP, stop using other stuff the tories say/do and everything else.

Everyone knows how the tories are, must of them have little or no morals with regards to here or Gaza.

But that doesn't make it ok to say that, deal with that, context or not it was wrong.

Everything Kneecap are highlighting for Gaza is brilliant and maybe might spur other artists to do the same

A silly thing to say indeed but let's not pretend people cared about it prior to Coachella.

True, and for me they did the right thing, and did it well, they gave the apology..

Though I was listening to their manager talking about the various comedians that should be also given the same treatment over things said in the past, as that is staying on the topic of 'saying' the wrong thing

Then attack the establishment of a smear campaign with regards to Coachella, their views and standpoint on Gaza and the ongoing genocide separately, just so the apology isn't seen as being lost in their views on Gaza, as they are both entirely different stories and the media have tried to pair them which going by their followers hasn't done much harm.. 

I must ask the kids have they been listening to their stuff

Absolutely. Genuinely think the lads care about more than money which is part of what makes them so appealing. I bet any gig they get banned from they could stand outside and play and attract thousands upon thousands of supporters.

A general rule of thumb is that the redder you're making Jim Allister and Sammy Wilson the more right you are.

I'm afraid you might be overestimating the attention this Kneecap story is getting.
Israel won't give a fck, America won't give a fck, most in the UK won't give a fck.

Yeah I get that. Had they done that then the likes of starmer couldn't have said anything about a half hearted apology

Not so sure they won't give a fuc when you see the Prime Minister and all the MPs and media jumping on this one. They do not want thousands of American and British kids hearing Kneecap calling out genocide in front 1000s waving Palestine flags in the US or UK... because this is what this is about...
On live TV at Glastonbury?..  I don't think so...

Spare me. 

And get this, big Tory party donor Frank Heston said on record and I quote "when you see Diane Abbot on the TV, you just want to hate all black women because she is there, I think she should be shot".

When will the counter terrorism squad be visiting him?

This is nothing to do with their tory MP comments and all to do with them highlighting the genocide in Palestine in the US.

The Zionist handlers want their moneys worth from their bought and paid for MP's.

[PadraicHenryPearse]

A formal investigation has now been launched by counter terror police.

Everytime someone speaks out about Israel there is a character assassin on them, Kneecap have just joined the llist including Lineker, Roger waters, Corbyn etc.

Germans have cancelled gigs and wanted to deport 2 irish people for speaking irish at a protest... to add to the long list of issues they are on the wrong side off.

Germany needs to stop atoning for the sins of their ancestors to the point they don't see there is another holocaust taking place in Gaza..

I'm afraid you couldn't be more wrong

It's been mentioned numerous times in parliament
10 Downing Street have released an official statement on it
Micheal Martin has issued a statement on it
The counter terrorism police have opened an official investigation
I could post countless press articles from UK/Ireland, America, continental Europe, Australia and the middle east

Was on politics live on the BBC yesterday - Tory man going mental.

Was on politics live on the BBC yesterday - Tory man going mental.

It's all about distraction.

It's  counter productive though , as  anyone who hadn't heard of Kneecap  before  , will have done so  now. Out of curiosity if nothing else.

And a lot of people will  now be aware of Kneecap 's views  on the  genocide in Gaza.  And other musicians rowing in behind them , should  amplify the message.

Sadly though , the slaughter will continue .
