Flipboard Culture Desk<p>U.K. police say that no further action will be taken against the Northern Irish band Kneecap over remarks made during their performance at the Glastonbury music festival. Avon and Somerset Police had launched a criminal investigation into the Irish language rap trio after they referenced band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh's upcoming court case. After advice from the U.K.'s Crown Prosecution Service, police decided to drop the investigation on the grounds that there was "insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any offence." The band has faced huge criticism for their pro-Palestine stance.

If we have to move our toxic, asbestos ridden bonfire which may also take out the electrical supply to the two main hospitals, we will riot and wreck the place, say loyalist paramilitaries. How does this benefit unionism at all? It sends out an internationally shocking blackmail message, just before a major investment via the Golf tournament due to happen in Portrush. I wouldn’t be surprised if attendees and fans cancelled, or if the entire event gets cancelled. Loyalists and unionist can’t complain of no money and no investment when they threaten and behave like this. The #Labour government should look more closely at who the actual terrorists are in the UK, rather than proscribing a non-violent organisation, or charging a rap group for singing. #Kneecap #BobVylan #YvetteCooper #PSNI declares ‘major incident’ over removal of bonfire material in south Belfast | BelfastTelegraph.co.uk belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/no

BelfastTelegraph.co.uk · Loyalist paramilitaries threaten ‘serious disorder’ as PSNI declares major incident over removal of bonfireBy Andrew Madden and Liam Tunney

🚨🇬🇧 I would ask every supporter of the Palestinians to read and to retweet my detailed account of the High Court and Appeal Court last Friday on Palestine Action proscription.
It explains exactly what happened and how it affects you.

#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)...

"The rich and powerful don’t care if you dye your hair or pierce your nose or kiss a member of the same sex or say Hail Satan. They don’t care if you support one mainstream political faction over the other, or if you yell empty words about anarchy and revolution that aren’t pointed toward any real material goals. They care very much, however, if you are undermining public consent for military and geopolitical agendas they’ve worked very hard to propagandize the public into accepting.

The establishment never dropped the hammer on Marilyn Manson. Lady Gaga never ran into trouble with the state for singing that gay people are Born This Way. Ozzy Osbourne is living in the lap of luxury with an estimated net worth of $220 million. But groups like Kneecap and Bob Vylan are being subjected to police investigations and visa revocations for taking a stand on Palestine.

Which, of course, is only going to make their position more popular among young people with a defiant streak in them."
