Kneecap are pulling the oldest punk trick in the book: offending people – and it has worked
It's been a while since we've had a musical ruckus on the scale of Kneecap-gate. Forget boring arguments about feuds (hello Taylor Swift) or fallings out: yesterday, the rappers rocked up at Westminster Crown Court, accompanied by throngs of supporters, in support of band member Mo Chara (real name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh). Ó hAnnaidh stands accused of allegedly waving a Hezbollah flag at a gig in 2023, and leading the crowd in chants of 'Up Hamas, up Hezbollah.'
