  1. For once, I share the horror expressed by the #Torygraph about #Kneecap.

    The notion of sexual engagement with #Netanyahu is too horrendous to be aired publicly, even as metaphor.

  4. Irlands führende Plattform für Prominachrichten goss.ie und der Telegraph zeigt Greta Thunberg mit Sturmhaube auf einem Konzert der antisemtischen Band „Kneecap“ und Bob Vylan.

    Die Sturmhaube in den irischen Nationalfarben ist das Erkennungszeichen der Rap-Gruppe „Kneecap“ und der irischen Terror-Organisation „IRA“.

    Kneecap - Fenian

    Fiercely political hip hop, landed themselves in some hot political water last year because they don't like genocides (what gives?). Good lads.

  6. I'd rather Festivals were prepared for Climate Events rather than Terrorism, it's more likely.

    Festivals are more likely to be called "Terrorist" than be the victim of one, see all that crap about Kneecap and Bob Vylan last year at Glastonbury.

  9. Album Recommendations – June2026


    I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed.  Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will to.

  10. ah no, they're back again, and giving a history lesson on the meaning of 'Fenian' and also a but of the old anti-colonialism there.
    They intend to reclaim the word for Irish people, the ancient Fenians were a tribe of warrior giants and Kneecap wish to celebrate that rather than the English use of the word.

    BBC Huw's Welsh ears have picked up on this, it's a big day in Wales today btw!

  11. Mo Chara calling out false claims of Anti-Semitism in defence of the nation state of Israel. He's managing that very well, better than most politicians really. Using his own experience of religious violence in Northern Ireland to explain his stance.

  14. “British government fails yet another Palestine prosecution as Kneecap man goes free”

    by Robert Freeman in The Canary

    @uk_politics
    @UKLabour

    “The wins for Palestine activists and advocates keep stacking up. Yesterday, the Westminster Magistrates’ Court threw out an appeal by British government which, again, has failed to criminalise Kneecap rapper Mo Chara for holding a bit of cloth. A final decision on whether Óg Ó hAnnaidh – the rapper’s real name – will stand trial on 26 September has not been reached”

  15. Keep slabbering Honest Bob!

    While you stir the pot, to steal Farage's lunch to replace Badenoch as leader, you will prevent any chance of the British state appealing the #kneecap decision.

  17. A British court throws out terror-related charge against Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh.

  18. Mo Chara from Kneecap has had his terror-related charge thrown out by a London Court.

    But this isn't the courts coming to the rescue of common sense. The discharge was down to an error in the charging process. Police screwed up.

  20. Irish rapper Liam Og O hAnnaidh, known as #MoChara, appeared in a London court to fight a terrorism charge over allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag. Surrounded by hundreds of supporters, the #Kneecap band member said the case was a distraction from Israel’s genocide in #Gaza.

  22. #UK #government drops charges against #Kneecap

    Kneecap will no longer face charges over a resurfaced #video where members chanted "Kill your local #MP!" at a 2023 gig, according to UK #police. Due to the statutory time limit of #prosecution expiring, the police could not continue the investigation, per The Independent.

    This #indictment by the Counter-Terrorism unit was separate from the individual case against member #MoChara (#LiamÓgÓhAnnaidh)...

  23. #MetPol have confirmed they will be taking no action against #kneecap rapper #MoChara regarding footage of him telling fans to “kill your local MP” in 2023, but he is still facing a terror charge relating to another video and will be back in court in august.
