Kneecap claim London Underground banned a poster for their September Wembley gig- citing fears of causing “serious offence”. The Irish rap trio say it’s yet another act of censorship over their politics and pro-Palestine message. https://t.co/XZLzjEB5F4
The Irish rap trio Kneecap has accused London's Transport for London (TfL) of banning a poster advertising their September Wembley Arena gig on the London Underground. The group claims the ban was due to fears that the poster, which includes pro-Palestine and political content, might cause "serious offence." This incident is part of a broader pattern of alleged censorship against Kneecap related to their political messaging. Concurrently, in Northern Ireland, tensions have escalated around the group, with a poster featuring Kneecap and sectarian slogans being attached to an Eleventh Night bonfire in County Tyrone. Additionally, Palestinian flags were burned alongside a large sign reading "Fuck Kneecap," reflecting hostility towards the group in some Northern Irish communities.
