So apparently he has law firms lining up to represent him but Darragh Mackin, Phoenix Law has been appointed. He was involved in the Hooded Men case. I’d say Brolly will be instructed as KC.

I didn't think Brolly had been appointed as a KC?

Oh FFS
They pay UK taxes, why wouldn’t they apply for UK funding?
They don’t hate the British and the UK, they want British rule in the North to end and oppose the British establishment.
It’s ironic you talking about them sneering when your entire post is dripping with contempt.
Clueless is an apt username for you on this topic!

I don't see how simply pointing out their blatant hypocrisy is "dripping with contempt", but ok!

Lovely. I’d have rather that money wasn’t won or lost at all tbh.

Anyone able to dive in and give the missing context around ‘kill your local MP’ or support for Hezbollah, or…

Perhaps they actually said "It would be wrong to kill your local MP" but the evil establishment are at their work once again

It’s the refusal to be a victim

In what sense is he a victim?

Is it a trial starting weds? Seems v quick. You’d be waiting years in Ireland

I thought this first appearance at Magistrates would basically just be to transfer the trial to Crown Court but not sure.

So strange a picture from a football match yesterday was posted on this thread and a club mentioned when it was nothing to do with Kneecap

Editing to remove my comment because I actually can’t be asked. RTFT

Like he stated it’s the governments at fault.

Washington DC shooting suspect accused Israel of 'atrocities' in social media post, Sky News finds

The post was published an hour after the attack in which two members of staff of the Israeli embassy in Washington were shot dead.

More Kneecap gigs cancelled in Germany after 'kill your MP' controversy

A ticket site for the Irish rap band's gigs in Hamburg, Berlin and Cologne confirms the summer shows are no longer going ahead.

www.bbc.com

"Three more Kneecap concerts have been cancelled in Germany"

Yes we all know about Andrew, we’ve seen the documentary

You judge Kneecap for posing with him so I was just wondering if similar judgement applies to the King but it’s ok, I already know the answer. Have a nice day.

It does, he's a cunt too. I don't have a bias.

Yes, my point was, it's not 'dissidents' to blame for everyone being 6ft under surrounded by rubble in Gaza. And if the Brits had acted in the same way Israel has, the blood would be on their hands - and I'd hope people would call that out and attempt to stop them.

They do play a part when the belief is only one end to the struggle , not all Palestinians agree with that…That doesn’t excuse the actions of the Israelis .

Most people in GB either want NI to rejoin with Ireland or care so little about NI they think of it.

 

[monga]

Is it that they actually support them or they said “big up Hamas/Hezbollah” a few times more or less. I find it hard to call that support imo, granted you can still think less of them for it because the types of statements/humour (if we agree they’re just making edgy statements for shock factor) aren’t for everyone

Interesting how they almost get treated as some extremist organisation borderline radicalising or collecting other extremist members for their cause by some (not you)

How do you feel about their support for the IRA ? Do British people agree with it?

 

[Piff paff puff]

Yep and Free Palestine is a message consistently platformed by Kneecap, therefore relevant to the conversation.

What toilet people piss in, is not.

It wasn't me that first mentioned it but you chose to reply to my post when I quoted the comment
Any ways back on topic, any one who supports someone who orders people to kill MP's then rants about violence towards anyone else is hypocritical at best and part of a backwards and uncivilised society at worst.
Idk the scrotes who originally tweeted it or sang it (for publicity), the issue i worry about now is that it's attracted all of those with ideologies who want to see violence and separation.
