Kneecap (Liam Og "Mo Chara" O Hannaidh, Naoise "Moglai Bap" O Caireallain and JJ "DJ Provai" O Dochartaigh) and Director/Writer Rich Peppiatt in the press room after winning the Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer award for Kneecap
BRITISH counterterrorism police are to spend time and resources assessing a video from Irish rap group Kneecap.
Video has emerged on social media of the band at a November 2023 gig, appearing to show a member of the group saying: “The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.”
Earlier in the week, footage emerged of another gig last November which seemed to show a band member shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah” during a performance at the Kentish Town Forum.
