    Sure thing, lads, just like the IRA.

  6. The “freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequences” crowd are awfully silent on this one.

  10. Eden Project does seem a strange place for them to play anyway. What’s next, the Hay Literary Festival? Centerparcs? 

  13. I’d never heard of these guys until their film came out, which I saw and enjoyed a lot. But I’ve never been sure about them as people. Feel like that film, fictional as it was, acted as a… Kind of sanitizer.

    I don’t think I’d like them at all.

  14. Loved the lads since I saw their movie and have been a massive fan ever since. Is their music for me? Not really, I like the energy though.

    What I do love is the counterculture controversy; true essence of ‘punk’.

  16. I don’t really get all the furore tbh, just seems like a few edgelords from Belfast riling people up

  17. This thread seems to be littered with actual anti-semitism; not the fake type made up by zionists to exclude criticism of Israel. Crap like this is why criticism of Israel gets brushed aside by mainstream politics because people can’t risk being associated with you.

  18. This is just going to be James McClean again. They just need ignoring.

  22. They’re playing up the road instead, venues been changed is all

  24. People were put in prison for inciting protests over Southport, yet calling for MPs to be killed just results in a forced apology?

    Doesn’t seem quite right does it

  25. Nothing burger of a story. Rap group says and does controversial things for attention.

    What a fucking surprise.
