I went back and read the Guardian article on them from a few days to double check before posting. It wasn’t a Palestine flag they waved; it was a Hezbollah flag.
that was a conscious decision. Someone in that band or very close to them actively sought that flag and bought it, and took it to a venue and waved it in front of a crowd of however many hundred or thousand.
To be clear: I’m pro- freedom of speech and against cancel culture and always have been. I’m not calling for Kneecap to be cancelled; I’m disappointed at the hypocrisy of this.
Women across this country and wider have been cancelled, lost their jobs, their social circle, and have been sneered at, and condescended and looked down upon for saying that a man isn’t a woman because he says he is. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kneecap and some of the other bands and artists supporting them publicly also think a man can be a woman because he wants to be. They don’t want biological women to have their freedom of speech but are happy for these wankers to wave a terrorist flag. I’d also put money on some of them cancelling Morrissey for his views.
for some, freedom of speech is only important or of value if you personally agree with it.
