Kneecap announce surprise London gig after member charged with terror offence
Briefly

Mo Chara, a Belfast rap group, faces charges from the Metropolitan Police for displaying a Hezbollah flag at a gig in London. The band, who actively promote their Irish language roots, plans to perform despite the charges. They vehemently deny the accusation, labeling it as political policing and a diversion from more pressing humanitarian crises, particularly the famine in Gaza. Their statement emphasizes that their performance and its implications are overshadowed by the dire situation facing many in conflict areas.
14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of the wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us.
We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves. This is 'political policing' and a 'carnival of distraction'.
As they profit from genocide, they use an 'anti-terror law' against us for displaying a flag thrown on stage.
Maybe they need a bloody good kneecapping in response to the 'kill your MP' footage, commented former Sex Pistols vocalist John Lydon.
