    While everyone in the media is getting upset with what happened at Glastonbury, the object of their protest is responsible for this.
    If only the media and western governments got upset with this.

    You can't help but applaud their politics. You must still be clapping at these.

    BBC
    Belfast-based rap group Kneecap have apologised to the families of murdered MPs Sir David Amess and Jo Cox.

    The statement posted on X, external follows the emergence of footage of the group at a concert in November 2023, where one of the band members appears to say: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP."

    Didn't one artist call for riots at a court hearing? Quite clearly an imprisonable offence as very recent history has shown.

    They called for peaceful protests at the court hearing .

    The matter should never gone to court. It is outrage. If the politicians were doing their job, there would be no need for Kneecap. No different from Billie Holiday , Abbey Lincoln ,Woody Guthrie, Charlie Haden or Willie Dixon.

    '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.'

    Vylan and Kneecap are silly sods cosplaying at sixth form politics. But that has always been the case with musicians. They've both done remarkable PR jobs to be honest. Nobody would know Kneecap if it wasn't for their 'edginess'.
