Because they’re shite or because they told folk to kill your local MP?
The British political class talking about how dangerous they are. You have to imagine the Kneecap guys are laughing their arses off at this
Brits out✌️
Remember when Kier Stammer was letting J D Vance about how proud he was about our free Speech…… 😂
Looking forward to all the free speech fundamentalists condemning this cancellation…
Why the fuck is John Swinney getting involved in this? Putting political pressure on a festival to pull one of their acts due to their political views is slide towards authoritarianism.
Is he going to comment next time Morrissey has a gigged booked in Scotland?
This is the best advertising by a band since the sex pistols!
Swinney doing a great job selling more tickets
To be fair, TRNSMT is already a complete and utter shitshow – having kneecap on riling a bunch of coked up teenagers on the 12th July in Glasgow is absolutely wild planning
To be fair if it’s the leader of the SNP calling them out, perhaps one of the most Anti-British party in Scotland, then they must have took something too far. From what I read in the article they have done.
They also had the audacity to call out our middle eastern ally’s mass slaughter of children too.
These guys need to be stopped before more feelings are hurt.
Bin strikes and moral panic about music the 70s are BACK baby!
People seemingly not understanding the reason for the drama around this is pretty concerning.
They have called for the deaths of MPs.
They have publicly supported Hamas. This isn’t a free speech issue, because free speech is about challenging ideas – it’s not about calling for innocent people to be murdered or supporting terrorists. I’m shocked we can’t all be on the same page on this one.
Guess who’s back in the news?
Independence for all 💪🏴🇮🇪
Maybe if they put on an orange sash & twirl a baton while marching through the streets of Glasgow, nobody would mind 🤔
maybe ban the orange walks as well then eh on the same day
Maybe I’m just turning into a right soft cunt in my old age but given we’ve had two MP’S murdered in recent-ish years these comments are pretty wreckless.
I’ve no love for your average Tory MP and understand it’s a throw away line from a band the vast majority of folk have never heard of but still, the old freedom of speech isn’t freedom from consequence applies IMO.
Unsurprisingly the usual cunts see nothing wrong with the comments made.
At this rate if they played an outdoor gig anywhere else in Scotland on the same day instead I think more people might go than would go to trnsmt 😅
50 Cent lyrics:
‘Police get in the way, I’ll murder them
I’ll murder them
N***a already got three strikes, I’ll murder them
I said I’ll murder them
Any motherfucker touch me, I’ll murder them
I’ll murder them
You don’t believe me, wait and see
I’ll murder them, you see I told you I’d murder them’
This 50 Cent fellow sounds dangerous. Should they be cut from TRNSMT then?
I’m more concerned with the murder of thousands of innocent children but go on John…
I hate this fucking island sometimes. 3 lads singing songs and shouting some admittedly incendiary things 18 months ago, which just happens to coincide with a performance at Coachella where they’ve been absolutely hammered by the Israeli PR machine.
They’ve played Scotland multiple times since this happened. And not a fucking peep. But now it suits Swinney, the tories, Keir, and everyone else to be seen wringing their hands and shaking their heads, and tutting. Meanwhile, genocide, what genocide? What a shit show.
I don’t really think the First Minister should be saying who can and cannot play music, regardless of what I think about what they said
I like Kneecap. Both their music and stance on important issues. But the ‘kill an MP’ comment isn’t acceptable.
However… the fact this was said way back in 2023 and it’s only being brought up now, after their attention from Coachella, is deeply suspicious and clearly a talking piece to distract us from bigger issues. Yes, death threats etc are big issues, but not something said probably in the heat of the moment a year and a half ago when it could have been brought up at the time.
Has John Swinney been asked to comment on Chris Brown playing Hampden? Or is is just people saying things he doesn’t like? Beating up women fine, but words are bad
Freedom of speech.
Convicted woman beater Chris Brown is playing hampden but that’s sound aye John? Piss off
The film was ace. Never once thought I’d see Ally McCoist in a sex scene.
These lads are laughing all the way to the bank with this pearl clutching.
