[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.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

BBC, CNN, Sky, LBC, Washington Post, New York Times, Financial Times, Guardian, The Times, Telegraph. They all made this possible. Never forget.

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

My heart breaks for Carol, Hannah and Louise.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK. They’re not a statistic, but people whose lives and dreams were cruelly stolen from them.

Male violence and misogyny are endemic. We demand a world where women are safe and free.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

No.

All protests against the massacre of Gaza have been peaceful.

The biggest march had a lower arrest rate than the average football match.

The protest isn't on Remembrance Sunday.

It begins well after the two minute silence.

It goes nowhere near the Cenotaph.

[Matthew Stadlen @MatthewStadlen]

It is possible both to condemn Hamas as an unspeakably evil death cult and to remember that the life of every single Palestinian child is as sacred as that of every single Israeli child.

[Russell 🏳️‍🌈 @Medic_Russell]

I can’t imagine the pain, fear, and anger felt by the trans community watching the prime minister’s horrible little speech today.

We as allies to the trans community need to raise our voices and create/maintain the safe spaces for our siblings.

Party of arseholes. No policies but hatred and bigotry. There's a cost of living crisis and none of us can afford anything but yeah let's focus on cars and denying people healthcare.

Liza Minnelli has outlived Liz Truss’s time at 10 Downing Street. She has informed King Charles III that she has resigned.

Why do I look like so many female politicians

Sir, that’s my emotional support stack of blank notebooks which I will never use because I’m too afraid of ruining them.

as someone who has always identified as a non PE girl…..I have never wanted PE girls to succeed like this

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

They didn’t resign over Covid deaths.
They didn’t resign over benefit cuts.
They didn’t resign over Partygate.
They didn’t resign over PPE.
They didn’t resign over Brexit failure.
They didn’t resign over deporting refugees.

Spare us the praise for the ‘good’ Tories.
