"Only good tory is a dead Tory. kill your MP.

Im an snp supporter but swinney should shut the * up about something he knows * all about and writing for the daily ranger has lost us voters. Get these old * to *.time to let the young team in with independence front and centre 24/7 HH

 

There’s no such thing as bad publicity


Never heard of this band before, now everyone has heard off them.

say something controversial and it will rack up your tweets or twats and you’ll be famous
Doesn’t matter if your band is *, just put peoples noses out of joint and you’ll be a hit
By next week nobody will care

 

Everyone heard of them before this came out, supporting Palestine at one of the biggest festivals on the planet did that for them.

This absolutely is bad publicity and that’s why it’s being pushed.

This is spot on from their manager. “They are being held to a higher moral account than policitians who are ignoring international law”.

 

I don't think it is bad publicity, the people who give a * would never listen to their music anyway.

I think this is hard to judge as a situation as a whole, there is a clip floating about (I personally haven't seen it) but it could just be a clip with a wider context.

I think the quote from the manager just comes across as whatboutery though.

 

It’s not whataboutery, they just put out a message about Genocide and nobody gave a *. Suddenly there’s outrage. There is a clear double standard there.

Clearly politicians only care about issues that directly affect them.

 

I hadn’t heard of them.

Don’t love their music but don’t dislike it either. Not sure where I stand on it being bad/good publicity - obviously gigs being cancelled is bad, but the notoriety and publicity of good.

I think it was a daft thing to say and that people should take more held responsible for what they do say - wether it’s the likes of Tate promoting misogyny, or the left/right promoting violence against those who they don’t share political views with.

That said, I don’t think they should be hung out to dry over it. They’re musicians with a fairly edgy sound/image; and much worse will have been said/done right across the entertainment industry.

 

They aren't the first band in history to spout nonsense in the name of being edgy, only to quickly retreat and apologise. Won't be the last.

But a bit of me likes the idea that music can still be viewed as dangerous and worthy of banning. Feels like it's been a while.

 

Which one of us didn't have this in the 90s

 

They’ve absolutely nailed it.

 

They've always been pro Palestinian and are from a community that strongly sympathises with the Palestinian cause. They are from a country that is also for the most part pro Palestinian.

As for kill an MP

Very common place in the north of Ireland. It seems kill an MP is only acceptable if it's an Irish MP or Jeremy Corbyn.

 

Maybe people should give this a wee listen if they are not aware of who kneecap are out with the recent media storm
