#1 It’s getting worse for the poor, confused dears.

According to The Standard, they’ve been dropped from

the Radar Festival in Manchester this Saturday, where they were the headliners, and

the line-up at Kave Fest in Gisors, France on Sunday

The band posted on Instagram, “We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine.

“We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story, and whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction.”

#2 I rushed the previous comment, and missed this bit below the fold, as it were, about spreading the pain:

Meanwhile, Campaign Against Antisemitism has written to Glastonbury organisers and Somerset Council, accusing the festival of breaching its licence by platforming artists accused of inciting hate.

The letter highlights not only Bob Vylan’s performance but also that of Kneecap. The charity has given organisers 14 days to respond or face potential legal action.

Since both bands were well known for this kind of thing, and in fact the BBC had informed Kneecap that they would not be recorded because of it, it seems a slam dunk unless the judge is willing to be seen as in sympathy with the sentiment at a time when it suddenly is no longer socially acceptable….
