Worth saying out loud: Foreign mass murdering criminals like Trump and Netanyahu are given state visits and welcomed with open arms while British citizens are jailed and criminalised for holding up placards protesting against genocide.

Anyone know (without looking it up) the chair of the Labour party? How about the chair of the Tories, or Lib Dems? Whose the chair of the SNP or Plaid? They don't get big press introductions covered by all the major networks. So why does Reform's new chair get a whole news cycle?

‘Brexit was a terrible solution to the problem of English identity. It did nothing to allow ordinary people to "take back control" of their lives.’ So, people remain powerless and angry. And Farage (who championed this failure) now exploits their anger for power. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

irishtimes.com

If there’s so much buyer’s remorse about Brexit, why is Nigel Farage the rising figure in UK politics?

Ten years on, an angry tribe sees itself as more English than British - and Ireland must stay alert to the dangers

Kneecap @kneecapceol.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Massive Attack 👏👏👏👏

KNEECAP ARE NOT THE STORY

If senior politicians can find neither the time, nor the words to condemn, say, the murder of fifteen voluntary aid workers in Gaza, or the illegal starvation of a civilian population as a method of warfare, or the killing of thousands & thousands of children in the same territory, by a state in possession of the highest precision weapons on earth;
how much notice should a music festival take of their moral advice on booking performing acts?

As a band that has spoken publicly for more than 30 years about the illegal occupation, apartheid system and killing with impunity of thousands of Palestinians, we are hyper aware of the both the human cost of abject political silence, and the commercial implications of publicly expressing solidarity with an oppressed people.

Language matters of course.
The hideous murders of elected politicians
Jo Cox and David Amess means there’s no scope
for flippancy or recklessness.

But do politicians and right-wing journalists strategically
concocting moral outrage over the stage utterings
of a young punk band, while simultaneously obfuscating
or even ignoring a genocide happening in real time
(including the killing of journalists in unprecedented
numbers) have any right to intimidate festival events
into acts of political censorship?

Kneecap are not the story.

Gaza is the story.
Genocide is the story.

And the silence, acquiescence and support of those
crimes against humanity by the elected
British government is the real story.

Solidarity with all artists with the moral courage to speak
out against Israeli war crimes, and the ongoing
persecution and slaughter of the Palestinian people.

Massive Attack.

In response to @paulnowaktuc.bsky.social a Reform said, “Workers are ripping up their trade union memberships to join Reform.” If you have a problem at work or need to go to an Employment Tribunal, your Reform membership card will be worth jack shit. Kind of sums up how Reform will let you down.
