![]() [Footage of rap group Kneecap calling for the death of British MPs is being assessed by counter-terrorism police. A video has emerged of the west Belfast trio at a November 2023 gig appearing to show one person from the band saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." The Metropolitan Police also said that another video, from November last year, is being assessed. The footage appeared to show a band member shouting "up Hamas, up Hezbollah" at a performance in London. Kneecap have said on social media that they have "faced a co-ordinated smear campaign". Both Hamas and Hezbollah, external are banned in the UK and it is a crime to express support for them. A Met Police spokesperson said: "We were made aware of a video on 22 April, believed to be from an event in November 2024, and it has been referred to the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) for assessment and to determine whether any further police investigation may be required. "We have also been made aware of another video believed to be from an event in November 2023." A UK government spokesman said: "We unequivocally condemn threatening remarks made towards any individual. "Political intimidation and abuse must have no place in our society. We recognise the chilling effect that harassment and intimidation of elected representatives can have on our democracy. "All reports of intimidation, harassment and threats are taken extremely seriously. We work with the police and Parliament to do everything in our power to crack down on threats to elected officials." Democratic Unionist Party leader Gavin Robinson called for Kneecap to be investigated. "Promoting sectarianism, glorifying violence and spreading division under the guise of "art" is still hate," the Belfast East MP said in a post on X. None of the members of the group have been charged with any offences. Two men on stage singing. One is wearing a white cap and a black and white Nike tracksuit. He is holding a microphone. The other man, on the right, is also holding a microphone, he is wearing a black Nike cap, sunglasses, a green camouflage jacket and black trousers.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8kpljj26go Last edited by arista; 29-04-2025 at 03:09 PM. |
