[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

KNEECAP STATEMENT:

They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.

Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.

Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.

We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.

This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.

All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.

At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.

Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.

This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.

To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.

Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.

No smear campaign will change that.

Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.

The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.

Shame on them.

@DatHandsomeJerk @LadyJayPersists Yeah especially with a name that can be shortened to Mike Hunt… seems like rage bait. Still pretty sick as a hobby though 😒

@OptimizedPath @dieworkwear I mean feeding women’s insecurities and persuading them that every facet of their appearance is wrong and needs tweaked has been big business for decades. I guess they just realised they could make money doing the same thing to men?

@James_Forsyth1 @CounsellingSam @RyanJC2009 I’m Scottish and a woman and trans people have my upmost support 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏳️‍⚧️

@JohnnyLoveless @EdKrassen I mean I feel like they are saying it? I keep reading tweets saying things like ‘that’s not an American name so you’re a foreigner’ and implying anyone foreign is illegal

@fprzg @TrueSlazac Asbestos is naturally occurring, our ancestors loved asbestos and all lived long, full lives, free of disease and suffering and also women didn’t talk then…

[The Blinky @BlinkyIsKing]

@samktalksshit @TheRealFact8 @YourAnonCentral It’s starting to feel that way…?

[Basel Adra @basel_adra]

Anyone who cared about No Other Land should care about what is actually happening on the ground: today our water tanks, 9 homes and 3 ancient caves were destroyed. Masafer Yatta is disappearing in front of my eyes. Only one name for these actions: ethnic cleansing.

@BaryalaiEsapzai @PercThaGoat Do you actually think we don’t have tacos here?!

[The Blinky @BlinkyIsKing]

@dulcieburt @SausageSpice @StuBrandon @G_mble9 Also they don’t really seem to consider misogyny an ideology I don’t think?

[The Blinky @BlinkyIsKing]

@ukreloaded @PolMacG Is actually have been disappointed if it wasn’t an ice lolly 😂

@pagan_online @jaedelasoul @JayElHarris Sounds like she’ll be breasting boobily up the stairs at any moment…

[The Blinky @BlinkyIsKing]

@OteghaUwagba @GlNATONIC It reads like she was upset that the school didn’t encourage the other children to include her daughter in their drinking and drug taking…

@neonarrow126 @angipangiin @hello__caitlin I have a strong urge to get into Goblincore Acoustic Rock Folk Punk!
But seriously I guess they’ve realised the more bizarre they make the ‘genres’ the more people share their results

@PhilipProudfoot This is very ‘graphic design is my passion’

[The Blinky @BlinkyIsKing]

@theguyliner @guardian Did not know it was ‘ducking’ for apples in England (?) we saying dooking which now that I’ve thought about is a Scottish word so why would it be universal at Halloween… thanks for the review strong gif game as always!

@SoozUK @Luiseach The kid probably froze when the crazy lady behind her started yelling at someone for going to the loo!

[The Blinky @BlinkyIsKing]

@PippaMusgrave1 @Luiseach Came here for this reply 😆

[The Blinky @BlinkyIsKing]

@DefenderOfBasic I feel like being able to communicate with animals will just end very badly for us… like what do we say when they ask if we know what’s wrong with the planet?

[The Blinky @BlinkyIsKing]

@BuckinghamAlice Don’t know what you mean…
