Kneecap being vilified by usual suspects that want band banned from Glastonbury and TRNSMT, all for ending a gig, allegedly, saying, "Only good tory is a dead Tory. Kill your MP", which is something we can all get behind.

Took four attempts to post this due to site jumping about with ads, not a new problem but annoying as * none the less.

They gone from 100k listeners a month to 1M probably more based on the coachella concert

The establishment are circling on them because their voice just got magnified a hundred fold and they’re now a powerful entity on the right side of history as pertains to the genocide of innocent Palestinians by the Israeli war machine.
The fear they now have (and the crux of why they’re now being threatened with being pulled from Glasto is) they bring that same energy to these shores and highlight what the government don’t want you to know which is we in the UK are complicit in the literal slaughter of women and children who have done nothing wrong other than happening to be born in Palestine. -

Just an article, possibly with false info, intended to create a narrative and sway opinions.
I don’t believe they said that at the end of a gig recently. They are extremely clever lads and they toe the line, they wouldn’t just staight up call for the murder of anyone. The timing just as they were gathering some real momentum and support too.
They’ve already came out and said they are being targeted.Last edited: Apr 29, 2025 at 12:34 AM -

You think people should kill their local tory MPs?
David Amess was a tory MP who was murdered on the campaign trail just 2 years before these guys made this declaration. Stabbed 20 times. Good outcome was it?KRS-1888, Forestbhoy66, Jacob knows and 4 others like this. -

It’s an outrageous thing to say, which I suspect is in part why they said it.
It shouldn’t be taken lightly though, wasn’t long ago we saw Jo * murdered. People - regardless of political persuasion - need to be held far more accountable for the things they say, particularly when it comes to instigating violence.Forestbhoy66, Ľubomír1, Westlondonscot and 2 others like this. -
No perhaps just the one stab wound and save the rest for you ya Muppet, I wasn't being serious, get worked up about something else.

Aye the group has said both statements were taken out of context but apologised anyway, I think you're right especially after their American gig drew such attention
-
In a statement, Kneecap said they rejected "any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever."
They added that "an extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action".
The trio added: "To the Amess and * families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt."
In its statement on Monday, Kneecap said: "Let us be unequivocal: We do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah.
"We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history."seanm likes this. -

I think the reality is Kneecap use shock tactics, and it's gotten them the coverage they were seeking. Having some 50 odd year old PM speak out about you is basically the modern equivalent of 80s comedians seeking a backlash from Mary Whitehouse.

What was the context the comment was taken out of?

KRS-1888 Scott La Rock
Chris Brown the women beater fine though? And since when the * did John Swinney have any say on who plays at a gig or festival? Anyone who thinks the SNP are some sort of liberation or freedom movement needs to have their head checked.Bunch of * creeps.

This has got * all to do with mps. They are calling out the genocide and those israeli * supporters cant do * all about it. So they trawl thru years of social media posts to get something to pin on them ffs .* israel free palestine.
