I googled what all this noise was about, as I've not watched Glastonbury, and don't really know who kneecap are, so here is a tabloids take on it... Controversial Irish band, Kneecap, led chants of 'F*** Keir Starmer' and urged crowds to riot in the Westminster courts during their headline set at Glastonbury Festival today. The group's lead rapper, Liam O'Hanna, 27, whose stage name is Mo Chara, is on unconditional bail after being charged with terrorism for supporting Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist organisation. Addressing the charges to more than 30,000 revellers at Worthy Farm, his band mate Naoise Ó Cairealláin, known as Moglai Bap, said: 'Mo Chara is back in court for a trumped up terrorism charge. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...s-closes-stage-crowd-crush-fears-Kneecap.html 'It's not the first time there has been a miscarriage of justice for an Irish person in the British justice system. So now you know he's available on the 20th August at Westminster, support Mo Chara and let's start a riot in the courts.' Later on in the hour long set, Mo Chara said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play so f*** Keir Starmer,' before leading a chant against him. The band's third member DJ Provai, whose real name is J. J. Ó Dochartaigh, removed a red boiler suit to reveal a Palestine Action t-shirt - a group the government are preparing to ban under UK anti-terrorism laws. The controversial Irish language band took to social media an hour before their performance and posted a photo of DJ Provai wearing the shirt which read 'We are all Palestine Action' after the government moved to proscribe the organisation, making it a criminal offence to belong to or support Palestine Action. Tensions had already been running high before the set began as they were preceded by the hip hop duo, Bob Vylan, who led chants of 'Death to the IDF' the Israel Defence Force.
