Kneecap have issued a statement saying they don't support Hamas and Hezbollah and saying ''Kill your local MP" was not a call to action but taken out of context:

So, Glasto has reignited the Kneecap "saga" ... various Prominent Figures have condemned them, and it seems BBC have just released their planned coverage schedule; which excludes Kneecap.

Over on Twitter it's been suggested that the BBC broadcast their set, but with the vocals overdubbed by a plummy english actor.
Gerry Adams, never forgotten ... :P

Ah, 30 year old observational comedy!

Art imitating life imitating art? When the BBC finally allowed Adams' real voice to be heard again someone (I can't remember who) produced a comedy sketch about the struggle of his former voice over actor to find new employment.

Quite a shock to discover that Adams spoke just like those Ulster Prods.

I had a vague recollection of Adams meeting one of those voice-over actors... I can't find any mention anywhere though, which is a pity, as I think it could be quite amusing.

I still find it slightly problematic liking Adams and recognising his intellect, given his links to terrorism (a very good friend of mine's mother was killed in the Brighton bomb, so I imagine her feelings would be uncharitable), but there's little doubt he is an effective and thoughtful politician now.

This is the thing. Many politicians once they are out of the heat of the kitchen turn back into the reasonable adults they were before.
There are notable exceptions tho’, but they probably weren’t reasonable adults to start with.
