Maybe if he speaks Irish while being questioned he can recruit another member of the band
If pleads guilt or is found guilty…..what are the possible outcomes?
Gestapo behaviour from the Brits again
Hezbollah? The little Russian lad who looks about 6?

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the two week break, because Kneecap discourse is back again.
Nothing to do with their Coachella performance at all. Totally coincidental
Yes, that’s the terror offence they need to be investigating 🙄
[ Removed by Reddit ]
This is a tough one because they’ve brought incredible awareness to the plight of Palestinians.
But draping yourself in a Hezbollah flag is indefensible. Does it deserve a terrorism charge? That seems harsh. But it’s morally bankrupt, regardless of their other excellent view points.
This is a concentrated campaign to ruin them. They were becoming too popular, voices too loud. Meanwhile, the people of Gaza are starving, and the majority of the world watches on with apathy.
Edit: not glorifying any torriest organisation. My point is that this is an orchestrated campaign to shut them up and cancel them. Right wing media, British government, etc
Most available chargeable offence.
Real sign of a witch hunt.
A government that colluded with loyalist terrorists in the bombing of Irish people in Dublin and Monaghan are suddenly worried about flags and words. Yeah ok
That flag was proudly displayed in Dublin in January of this year too.
What have we learned? Don’t say F*ck Israel in the US. They will come for you.
Ah, the Brits trying to ruin an Irish man’s future because he said something they didn’t like. I wonder where we’ve seen this tactic before 🤔
Terror offense for holding a flag?
Like, it wasn’t the smartest thing to do, but let’s be honest here, this is the most obvious smear campaign ever, which only gathered legs after Coachella. So, so predictable.
Committing a genocide is apparently OK but anyone calling out said genocide should be thoroughly investigated, and anything and everything they’ve said or done shall be used against them. Definition of a government sponsored smear campaign.
Are loyalists charged with terror offenses for holding UDA or UVF flags?
Stupid thing to do, but they’re charging the man for little more than waving a flag whilst Winkie Irvine got 15 months inside for having guns and ammo in his car and “not being a terrorist” (because the terrorist paraphernalia also in the car was just coincidental). Anyone saying this isn’t mad needs to reevaluate their current perspective of the legal system. This is all of course leaving out the paramilitary flags flown all over the show at the quasi military parades the brits are ok with in the north every July.
Wouldn’t usually be hysterical, but decades arguing whether to charge British armed forces who deliberately murdered civilians in Northern Ireland meanwhile he’s called a terrorist for waving a flag 2 years ago? Once again the UK just handing anti-British propaganda out for free
The Brits. Never not at it.
This so fucking stupid. Hezbollah were formed from some of the worst crimes against humanity that Israel committed in Lebanon, including blocking escape routes for Palestinian refugees so Israeli backed Christian militias could mutilate pregnant women. I am not politically aligned with Hezbollah but the terrorist nonsense is pathetic.
Authoritarian state acts in an authoritarian way, surprise surprise.
I wonder how many people in this comments section based on what they are saying are going to appose any new hate speech laws in Ireland.
Stay calm and get the mugshot printed. New Album cover sorted.
Gary Lineker and Kneecap are distractions.
When the dust settles remember what the UK stood for. Remember what the BBC posted.
The British Government is doing more to attack Kneecap than stop Israel from committing genocide
Anything to take down pro Palestine voices. The British flag and the Israeli flag has more blood in it than anything but it’s okay to fly them.
Reminder that both the UDA and the UVF are proscribed terrorist organisations and the UK govt continues to ignore this been flouted wholesale every summer.
The brits are most decidedly at it again
I believe Joe Brolly is their barrister. This is gonna be interesting once it gets to court.
They were always going to find something once the British establishment starts rowing in behind the message. In six weeks you could walk down most street in Belfast and pick up lads with UDA and UVF charges.
Every salaried journalist on every newspaper on Fleet Street will have been scouring the internet to get some dirt on them. They’re doing this because they can see the power of the band with kids, any offence related to terrorism will torpedo their chances of touring in the US.
Silly to be draped in a flag from the organisation that killed an Irish soldier
Whatever about speaking out against what’s going on in Gaza, supporting Hezbollah is not remotely acceptable. Absolutely idiotic thing to do or suggest as acceptable. They are an Islamist terrorist organisation that have destroyed Lebanon.
I think he shouldn’t have waved that flag.
And when are the IDF going to be made a prescribed organisation and it illegal to express support for them? This is pure distraction from Israeli genocide and war crimes 🤬
Terrorism is just a label that governments use to delegitimise political violence that they don’t like (that’s not a defense of Hezbollah, just a comment about how the concept is used by governments across the world). If they really want to ban flags glorifying terror they could start with the Union Jack.
Obviously this is very rich coming from the same country that is currently supporting a genocide in Gaza and refuses to prosecute soldiers who murdered 14 innocent people in Derry however I don’t feel remotely sorry for Kneecap here
Supporting Hezbollah (make no mistake, that’s exactly what he was doing) is not only morally abhorrent but it’s also really fucking stupid
Frankly, whether it was pure edginess or their true belief, supporting Palestine does not require you to be sympathetic to Hamas and especially Hezbollah. They’re both disgusting organisations and not the freedom fighters to be propagandised to be.
Say what you want about Kneecap but calling them terrorists is ludicrous
Kneecap, Jeremy Corbyn, Gary Lineker have all faced more consequences from the British establishment than Israel has for genocide.
People saying its for just holding a flag need to get a grip, it was more then that, he openly supported terrorist groups and said to kill mps, that is unacceptable and getting charged for it 100% the correct decision
Ah the lads will be millionaires great stuff, Free Palestine.. Fuck the Glazers!!
Hezbollah supported Bashar al-Assad. The same man who used chemical weapons on his own people. You can hate on Israel without supporting terrorist organizations that have contributed to the deaths of innocent people.
Delighted – absolute gobshites and about time they learned there are consequences for going around thinking you’re edgey spouting pro-terrorist horse shite. A reminder to all about to pile on that Hezbollah are a vile Islamic terrorist organisation who count among their glorious atrocities the murder of Irish soldiers so no – if your values are such you think some shower of pricks in tricolour balaclavas can glorify those who murder Irish army soldiers then we clearly have different values and no- ignorance is not an excuse … my values are for those real Irish heroes who wear the tricolour on their sleeve representing their country instead of gobshites wearing Mickey Mouse balaclava playing shite music
If it was Conor McGregor charged for waving some similarly prohibited flag of a racist organisation or whatever yous would be delighted. The only difference really is you like Kneecap.

What flag?
Edit:
Appears to be this flag which is banned in the UK [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Hezbollah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Hezbollah)
Pic/vid of them holding it: [https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/video-anti-terror-police-investigating-after-member-of-kneecap-screams-up-hamas-and-hezbollah-while-draped-in-assault-rifle-flag-5096575](https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/video-anti-terror-police-investigating-after-member-of-kneecap-screams-up-hamas-and-hezbollah-while-draped-in-assault-rifle-flag-5096575)
