Kneecap

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's not like its going to be compulsory attendance at either the G or TRNSMT.  Folk who're actually enthusiastic about genocide will probably choose to stay away out of their own free will.  Anyone who does attempt a provocation will just be ignored.

I think people who are extremist on whatever pole or flag they pin themselves to (its naive to think only one "team" has extremists), will absolutely turn up for it.

I can't tell if this is genuine fear or just fear-mongering.

It will be fine, like every other Kneecap gig.

It will probably be fine, but I do genuinely think they should be moved to pyramid and an earlier slot.

.. and that doesnt include the possibility someone wanders in with a Israeli flag or even an IDF logo flag just to stir sh*t up.

I don’t know what sort of mad fantasies you are having about the Glastonbury crowd but nothing that you are imagining will happen (and then getting worried and annoyed about happening even though it hasn’t happened or won’t happen), will happen.

Every team has its extremists

Genuine concern.  Other kneecap gigs pre-dated the hezbolla flag press, and was a more self-selecting audience.

Could probably make a mint selling Hezbollah flags.

Well then, as you say, best to avoid the area if it puts your mind at ease.

But I will say the Glastonbury ticket sale also pre-dates all the Hezbollah stuff, so if you're concerned about terrorist sympathisers at Glasto, there's probably bigger worries than the Kneecap gig.

Really not sure what you're envisaging happening here. They'll play. It will be busy, that's it.

Hezbollah flag = bad.
Israeli flag = good.

Double standards... go figure.

Ah, casual Irish xenophobia, 1970s style. Good one.

 

How does it put it to bed? This has been news for about a month. But yes they don’t support Hezbollah, and yes it was “more of that Irish satire”. As you know. Any questions give me a shout.

just nuanced english satire/humour.

You don't have to worry about terrorist sympathisers this year.  I didn't get a ticket.

I think he's referring to my post before, looks like he's read a few of the words in it

Anyway... Kaiser Chiefs will be on just up the road, they're bound to put on a show

Raising the flag that someone threw on stage one time does not mean they support Hezbollah. Tbh if I saw that I'd think it was a picture of a tow truck, I'm not that up to speed on my terror group logos these days though.

 

Surely the point they've laboured by now (that they dont support Hamas/Hezbollah) has got through? This wilful misrepresenting of them is part of why it's so hard to take the claims seriously

Ah yes, the classic act of catching a flag thrown on stage and instantly adopting the entire ideology it represents. Timeless stuff.

But sure, let’s keep the “Kneecap supports terrorism” loop running - way easier than actually engaging with what drove their anger: the ethnic cleansing unfolding in Gaza. Right?

I get all that...but the evidence is there with this don't support hezbollah/hamas thing...I mean the bloke in the balaclava posted a picture oh himself reading some hezbollah bloke, they've chanted up hamas or whatever, and he picked up this flag and paraded it.

But ok, it's all a joke or something.

tbh I prefer just a bit of honesty...maybe saying we support the cause of Hamas/Hezbollah but not the means or something...instead of just saying and doing all this stuff and then just rowing back on it all and saying anyone suggesting they do obviously supports genocide.
