Kneecap are in the finding out stage.
“Liam O’Hanna, 27, (16.10.97) of Belfast has been charged, via postal requisition, with displaying a flag in support of Hizballah, a proscribed organisation, namely:
On 21 November 2024, in a public place, namely the O2 Forum, Kentish Town, London, displayed an article, namely a flag, in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation, namely Hizballah, contrary to section 13(1)(b) and (3) of the Terrorism Act 2000.:

They’re going to prosecute promoting terrorism now? What’s next, you need a license to drive?!
Jeez, now a man can’t support a terrorist organisation?! The wokerati really stop you having any fun nowadays don’t they?!
While i certainly dont support this dude its a bit hypocritical that he gets arrested yet the police in Northern ireland let the loyalist community display their terroist flags on every other lampost every summer and nothing is done about that.
Looking forward to all the American commenters with 1/16th Irish ancestry screeching that they’re just freedom fighters being oppressed yet again by the colonial British
These kids really need to educate themselves on what Hamas and Hezbollah are actually about
I walk past lampposts and murals that display support for registered terrorist organisations everyday (UDA UVF etc.) and nobody gets prosecuted there because they fly the union jack and the israeli flag alongside them. Two tiered policing still abound.
They’ve been shouting “Up the Ra” for years and the Provos are a proscribed group, how come it’s only when it’s a pro Palestine group they get charged?
Surely the widespread brutality and oppression exhibited by these political groups is exactly what this band is supposed to be against?
I’d call them hypocrites, but actually I think most of it is just plain ignorance.
As a free speech guy, I think they have a right to say it on the other hand I am exhausted will people execusing these folks sh*tty behavior.
I’m starting to think there guys have been paid by Israel to set the Palestinian cause back by decades on what earth did they think this was a good idea
Be interested to see the opinions of the “you get sent to prison for a tweet” crowd in this.
Guessing as the offender is a different demographic they don’t care
He will get away with this. He will argue it was on stage and part of the act. Like with the Lorraine Kelly case the effects of finding against that argument are too widespread. CPS shouldn’t have charged there’s no conviction in this.
Urgh…get these guys out of here! Sick of hearing their crap. Put em on the next plane to anywhere.
I’m all for a free Palestine but getting a known terrorist flag out on stage is not the edgy move he thinks it is.
When will we make it illegal to support the terrorist state of Israel?
If the Southport agitators deserved substantial prison time for stupid Facebook posts to their 100 followers, what punishment is right for people who glorify terrorism to an audience of millions?
All those who cheered when bigots posted stupid shit must be chomping at the bit to see Kneecap get a couple of dozen years for their horrific comments
I’ve said it before but I’d never heard of them when I watched their self titled film at the bfi. And as much as I found it entertaining, and despite it being a fictionalised account, I did get the impression they were not good people and that I’d dislike them, personally, in reality.
… Seems I was right.
Very strange they haven’t been given 2 years in prison straightaway like people for mean tweets
Quick question, does waving an Israel flag earn you the same charge?
He’ll be getting questioned in a shipping container with a 12inch flashlight before long. Hope it was worth it lad
I feel really bad for the guys who sing about how much they hate me 😢
Remember the UK used to dub over Gerry Adam’s voice because that’s how thin skinned they are?
Wonder what the free speech end woke fuckwits with sludge between their ears will make of this. I am expecting rapturous support for this man.
They may as well go full Kanye and wave Swastikas around at this point.
You want Jews to be slaughtered, we get it…
He could easily argue that Hezbollah are not a terrorist organisation in court, it’s sheer slander, they exist to fight terrorists
Now apply the same law to all the unionist terrorist organisations that the British government openly collude with and hold talks with every year.
This fucking band should just be banned from the country. Claim to hate us yet constantly here causing trouble. Had never even heard of them before all this, seems like PR crap
This from the State that turns a blind eye to the brazen expressions of support for terrorist organisations in Northern Ireland on the 12th July year after year after year. Never not at it.
