Our good pals The Mary Wallopers have just been pulled off stage and the PA shut down at @VictoriousFest in Portsmouth for taking out a 🇵🇸 flag and saying Free Palestine.

Speak up against genocide in England and you're treated like a criminal.

Up the Mary Wallopers 💚🤍🧡

Free Palestine!
Free the 6 counties!

RIP Sly Stone 😞 I have so much love for that man and his band. Read his 2023 autobiography Thank You. It’s great. Listen to the albums Life and Stand. They’re amazing. And so is this 👉 https://t.co/tP5E2NXne4

👇The ONLY thing that matters - as reported on Virgin Media News 📺

Britain is aiding war crimes - and the vast majority of the British people can both see that and see a politically motivated campaign as distraction.

Two people who know what solidarity looks like.

Keep talking about Palestine 🇵🇸

KNEECAP STATEMENT:

Since our statements at Coachella — exposing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people — we have faced a coordinated smear campaign.

For over a year, we have used our shows to call out the British and Irish governments' complicity in war crimes.

The recent attacks against us, largely emanating from the US, are based on deliberate distortions and falsehoods. We are taking action against several of these malicious efforts.

Let us be absolutely clear.

The reason Kneecap is being targeted is simple — we are telling the truth, and our audience is growing.

Those attacking us want to silence criticism of a mass slaughter. They weaponize false accusations of antisemitism to distract, confuse, and provide cover for genocide.

We do not give a f*ck what religion anyone practices. We know there are massive numbers of Jewish people outraged by this genocide just as we are. What we care about is that governments of the countries we perform in are enabling some of the most horrific crimes of our lifetimes — and we will not stay silent.

No media spin will change this.

Our only concern is the Palestinian people — the 20,000 murdered children and counting.

The young people at our gigs see through the lies.

They stand on the side of humanity and justice.

And that gives us great hope.

Kneecap ❤️

Supporting incredible women like @JasmineForUS Thank you

So Nancy Mace doesn’t want to “take it outside,” after all. She’d much prefer to hide than face the reality of how she and her cult are ripping people’s lives apart. Got it!
