Kneecap

[TheMan]

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 bleep too. I don't have a bias.

The king and many more!

Good to have some added context about the poor kneecapping ‘victim’ who spoke about how traumatic the band is!

Hypocritical BS clearly exposed in two separate news articles!

Yet cancelled for highlighting a regime that kill thousands of women and children

They broke a law. Nobody said they were wrong. Unless the law doesn't apply to them. I wish I could break laws without fear of being arrested.

The people who make the laws break them all the time. Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal, why aren’t MPs calling for his immediate arrest instead of sending him more weapons? He can commit genocide with absolute impunity but some rap band are being investigated by terrorism police for saying words? Until someone can answer that question the whole argument about Kneecap is the biggest load of manufactured hysteria there’s ever been

 

[Justherefortittle]

I look forward to the mass unpouring of ridicule, investigation & criminal charges that should take place in coming months around paramilitary flags, tribalism in mixed areas, hurty words, illegal bonfires, hate filled songs and contentious parades!

Must bulk order some popcorn

Yep they should be arrested too.

 

[Justherefortittle]

Yep they should be arrested too.

The point is they won’t! So people can’t be calling for 3 people to be investigated under the terrorism act.

We are now into our 4th week of this crap! All over one band and their beliefs & words.

I can’t even begin a reply to that

I’m sure his own victims will feel sick looking at his big bake

Jail all rit musicians while killers roam free…Dead on

 

[Foxvint]

They're not gonna be locked up. It's all a storm in a teacup. No one should be locked up for words, not that silly cow from the riots, not kneecap, not for speech we agree with, not for speech we vehemently disagree with. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, always. The marketplace of ideas is deep enough to dilute everyones discomfort.

Does Gerry have his own thread or would he sue us all for defamation of character?

Has everyone watched/read Say Nothing? He well ordered that murder. He also gets to play at being an elder statesman, well paid and in a well cut suit while his former cohorts are alchies and PTSD ridden broken old men. I don't think he believes in anything but himself.

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.

I think the worst punishment Gerry Adams could inflict would be him droning his Vogon poetry at you. bleeping deadly.

The fact this thread has boiled down to point scoring between Unionists and Republicans is so, so boring. Can you do it on another thread?

so much whataboutery.

It’s a band built from sectarianism

 

[thegirlscout]

I feel sick every time their names come up…even sicker that they are playing a gig on October 7th.

I wonder what they will say during their gig about what happened on Oct 7th.

 

[monga]

Probably just get on with their gig like every other artist booked for that date ? The witch-hunt is bound to be moved on by that stage ? Today’s news is next week’s fish supper wrapper…I know they’re genuine because they’re celebrated across the divide.

 

[monga]

I’m probably more forgiving than most I would never diminish anyone’s experience but I’m also steadfast in what we suffered and won’t let others diminish that.

Most of those against kneecap on this thread have suggested that they’re only backing Gaza because it’s trendy and a hot topic… so surely they will have moved on to the next “cause” by then?
