"It is declared that the decision is unlawful, procedurally unfair, took into account immaterial considerations and failed to take into account relevant factors." This illustrates the court's condemnation of the UK government's handling of Kneecap's grant application.
"At the time a UK government spokesperson said it fully supported freedom of speech, but that it was 'hardly surprising' that it did not want to hand out UK taxpayers' money to those opposed to the United Kingdom." This reflects the underlying tension regarding the band's political views.
"Kneecap, formed in 2017... openly court controversy with their provocative lyrics and merchandise." This highlights the band's intentional engagement in contentious political discourse through their art.
"For us, this action was never about £14,250; it was about the principle of support for artistic expression without fear of political backlash." This reinforces the band's stance on freedom of artistic expression.
