Suzanne Harrington: I was at THAT Kneecap gig in London — it was not pro-violence

I was at the Kneecap gig where they were alleged to have shouted support for terrorist organisations.

So, who’s next to be Kneecapped, asks Suzanne Harrington

Are Kneecap terrorists now? Because overnight, that’s what the UK establishment has told us to think. Or that they are terrorist adjacent. Ha ha ha, what hilarious nonsense, you might think instead. Except it’s not funny.

Anyone who has listened to the trio will know that they use hyperbole and humour. They like a theatrical flourish, from comedy balaclavas to showing up to events in ex-RUC vehicles. They use mockery: your sniffer dogs are shite. Get your Brits out. Their lyrics are funny and surreal – like imagining Arlene Foster on ecstasy.
