      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.

      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.

      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.

      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

      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 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.

      A liberal crowd cheering the flag of a group which would have them brutally murdered and raped never fails to amuse me.

      The whataboutism spam in this thread is wild. Can’t we just agree that displaying the flag of a terror group is bad?
