Kneecap

[Veronicaaa]

This is absolutely diabolical. RAF spy planes still flying over Gaza assisting the IDF with this barbarity. This woman had a baby 6 months ago and instead of taking maternity leave she went back to work to help save the children caught up in this hell only to have her own murdered. I’m sick to the stomach.
And people who shout “Free Palestine” are extremists? Mo Chara from fucking Kneecap is a terrorist?

Just want to point out, for people who may not have been paying attention, that this isn't an isolated incident. This is what has been going on for 19 months, systematically. Whole families murdered - those of doctors, journalists, athletes, academics - week after week, deliberately.

Yes sorry
It is.
I've never heard of Bob Vylan tbh.

No need to apologise haha!
Nor have I! I thought they were American because at the back of their set they had a sign saying something along the lines that ‘this land was built on the backs of immigrants’ which is a very American phrase but nope, from London.
A lady streamed all of Kneecap’s set on Facebook live and got something like 1.7 million views!

That douchebag James O'Brien came up in my YouTube feed saying that Bob Vylan calling for the death to the IDF is a step too far. that he is a pillock and we have to remember that the IDF are conscripts and they can't help but follow orders. Are you fucking kidding me? Didn't we all learn in school about the Nuremberg Trials and how they determined that following orders doesn't excuse you from prosecution? He also claims that it has set back the Palestinian cause. STFU! The time for being civil is long past and the UK gov't is planning on criminalizing support of Palestine Action, a group who have not killed anyone, just damaged weapons of war. We have cops investigating butt hurt calls, instead of car theft and assaults. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Now can they get the Islamic extremist preachers allowed to radicalise young men in their communities for years. Cos no one ever changed their view on an issue over as song or a gig.

No need, the genocide is radicalising young people faster than any preacher could.

That reminds me - kneecap where meant to play at a Cornwall live festival but an Israeli Irish doctor complained he was going to pull his sponsorship for the Cornwall air ambulance if they didn’t drop kneecap. Personally Cromwell Hospital should drop this paediatrician that treats children yet wants Palestinian children unalived.

Having said all that, I unfortunately find him maddly attractive and would be fine with him tying me to a chair and punishing me for all the crimes of the English.

This is by far the worst thing I have ever read on Tattle and I feel like that says a lot

 

[Wee Nora]

His brother is a n and he likely is one too. Your point?

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.

 

[Peonyrose]

It’s a bit of an own goal from the British government. An utterly ridiculous charge (holding a flag he was handed…compared to what the evil country has been doing to Palestine). If Liam Óg is found not guilty, the Zios will screaming antisemitism, if he is sentenced he becomes a martyr, plus they will have even more attention and popularity. This is solely to stop them touring worldwide with their message, completely funded by the evil country.

Personally I think the Palestinian cause has become too politicised , kneecap are just another group caught up in sectarian shouty matches the humanitarian message behind the flag is lost, sad to say!

 

[MaryLou32]

Nolan’s exceeded himself this time , interviewing a kneecapping victim (from the troubles) that maintains he suffers trauma everytime he hears mention of the band

Absolute gutter ‘journalism’
Pathetic, non relevant and clutching at straws.

I had chilis for dinner last night and the burned the hole off me, wonder if I got in contact with Nolan would he get the Red Hot Chili Peppers on to discuss how irresponsible they are for promoting burny burny vegetables

Creased like

 

[Veronicaaa]

The terrorism charge has been thrown out lmao. Pathetic waste of time and money.

 

[BANRÍON]

For a group who claim to be about peace and uniting people, their slogans, aesthetic, anger and violent rhetoric so obviously is designed to cater to one half of a divide in Northern Ireland and alienate those on the other side. Its pathetic.

As someone raised on the "other side", i dont feel alienated, and I've been to multiple Kneecap shows and will continue to go!

Such a strange narrative to adopt, I dont enjoy Slipknots music, does that mean they're alienating me lmao?? I don't agree with multiple artists political views, does that mean they're catering to one side of a divide and alienating the other side? Come on now, majorly clutching at straws.

 

[Em_gardener]

I watched the video and I think kill your MP was a joke but in bad taste and the kind of thing that looks worse on social media.

I think the support for hamas and hezbollah is a much bigger issue. They tweeted "solidarity with the Palestinian struggle" the day after the October 7th attack. Anyone decent would be disgusted by what happened that day surely. They put up a picture of one of them reading Nasrallah's book recently too and they clearly shouted up hamas up hezbollah. They've denied supporting them now but that's obviously damage control.

It's possible to be complete disgusted by what's happening in Gaza and also think that kneecap are immature gobshites.

You’d be naive to think a piece of paper would ever take away injustice.

Injustice…or….republican victimhood

Anyway, great to see other artists speaking out at this attempted silencing and cancellation of Kneecap.

 

[Wee Nora]

That's your prerogative. I was just attempting to try to understand your own position.

Wouldn’t even bother V, anyone who can’t see it by now doesn’t want to see it. There’s no excuse and no hope for anyone turning a blind eye to genocide.

Their fee from the big gig in London last night was donated to Medecins Sans Frontieres. Legends.

The 'technicality' being that the charge was unlawful lol.

No one should follow Bonos example on anything the overblown cheesy self glorifying waistcoat snorting twat.
