[A sign saying 'Stop the boats' was also attached
to the pyre in Moygashel,
on the outskirts of Dungannon
in Co Tyrone in Northern Ireland]


[The Moygashel bonfire is part
of the wider Eleventh Night celebrations
in Northern Ireland, which take place on
the night of July 11 each year.

These bonfires are rooted in Protestant
unionist and loyalist tradition and serve
as a lead-up to The Twelfth on July 12,
a public holiday marking the
key historical Battle of the Boyne.

This happened when Protestant King William
of Orange defeated Catholic King James II,
securing a Protestant line of succession
to the British Crown.

An Irish tricolour flag was also placed on the
bonfire, which is among about
300 which be burned across Thursday and Friday
night in the region.

Sinn Fein's Assembly member for
Fermanagh and South Tyrone,
Colm Gildernew, has been among those
responding,
branding the display 'vile' and 'deplorable'.]

They're wrong too.

It made the news and got people talking about the fact people want an end to the boats. They weren't people in that boat, the were mannequins, I'm not sure some people understand that....

They have been burning an effigy of the Pope annually in Lewes Sussex for about 400 years

I remember a bonfire night when I was a teenager we burned an effigy of David Campese when the England rugby team got particularly badly mullahed by Australia... There's a long history of effigy burning.

I admire the attention to detail, they're not just generic figures, they're all dressed and each is individualised!

There are too many women on it to be realistic, though.

Looks better ablaze

Yes it us a little male heavy isn't it, when their women must still be suffering in the war -torn countries from which they are supposedly escaping.

Interesting, I swear I hear time and time again people were okay with refugees, and it was the economic migrants that was the problem.

I think it's probably more of a Freudian slip.

Burning effigies of migrants in life jackets? That’s not art — it’s racist porn for people who get off on cruelty.

Livia 11-07-2025 10:22 AM

I think if a chant of "DEATH, DEATH TO THE IDF" is art, so is this. I think if chanting "UP HAMAS, UP HEZBOLLAH" is art, so is this.

Same...

Now, footage from two previous gigs is being assessed by counter-terrorism police in the UK.

In one, the band allegedly call for the death of Conservative MPs. Another seems to show a band member shouting "up Hamas, up Hezbollah". Both groups are banned in the UK and it is a crime to express support for them.

Kneecap have responded with a statement, saying they "do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah".

They claimed that footage where they appeared to say "the only good Tory is a dead Tory" had been "taken out of all context", and apologised for the hurt caused to the families of murdered MPs Jo Cox and Sir David Amess.

But Cox's widower Brendan was unimpressed, calling their statement "only half an apology". Downing Street agreed, describing their words as "half-hearted" and "completely unacceptable".

The row was discussed in the House of Commons on Tuesday, with Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp calling their comments "evil".

The same man who praises kneecap, and heaps praise on the IRA man who tried to murder the Irish first minister.
