And obviously Kneecap was one of the busiest acts. Lisa Nandy's reaction  to the issue of the Bob Vylan chants is typically inept.

Struggling to get upset by this while Starmer and Labour remain so acquiescent regarding Israel's actions.

No adult or child was killed in the performance of these songs.

Get outraged by death Sir K, not by chanting.

He's very outraged, and wants an explanation apparently from the BBC. The IDF not so much

Sorry, it seems that if you say this stuff here you are liable for a stretch.

Investigation into Kneecap's performance dropped. Political nonsense from the Labour govt on this, particularly Starmer
