Whether they get banned initially from a few gigs, much like Billy Connolly in the late 70s, Sex Pistols etc, Kneecap aren't going anywhere, their fan base will explode because of this. Protest singers have been around since the dawn of time, many are still household names... 'this machine kills fascists'

What a fucked up world we live in where people are trying to cancel these lads for speaking up against genocide, yet there is no meaningful campaign to take on the genocide apologists in the public eye.

Where is that **** Gérard Butler these days?

Said in 2023, wasn't a big deal at the time. They went digging.

Sweet Jesus what a post. Maybe give them nothing to dig. They seem like ballbags who'd miss them.

Considering they sell out every venue and have a huge following (a lot more now!) quite a lot of people would miss them.
Targeting Kneecap is very selective .. has been highlighted today that a comedian on Have I Got News For You suggested that Glastonbury be bombed to kill Corbyn supporters... outrage zero... Daily Mail ran a piece saying Corbyn needed killed.. outrage zero... Pritti Patel proposed starving Irish people during Brexit debate.. so spare us the handwringing. These lads have called out genocide where politicians don't... Tory fake tears...

Fair play to Paul Weller, Pulp and the other artists who've come out in support of Kneecap.

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.

Spare me. 



Most people would be outraged if others were encouraging their murder.
It's possible to say Kneecap were wrong to call for people to kill their MPs, while also realising this is a cynical deflection by the powers that want to distract people from the main issue which is the Israeli genocide in Palestine.

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
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

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

What part of "We send our heartfelt apologies. We never intended to cause you hurt" do the handwringers not understand. This sh*te about 'half an apology' is to keep the focus on the Tory comment and away from genocide.
I see that kip Israel is on fire, maybe they could bring their brave IDF 'soldiers' home to fight that rather than slaughtering children in Gaza.
