Unexpectedly. [IsraelTimes] British police say they will take no further action against Irish rap group Kneecap after an investigation into comments made by its members at the Glastonbury music festival last month.“Detectives sought advice from the Crown Prosecution Service during their enquiries and after that advice, we have made the decision to take no further action on the grounds there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any offence,” Avon and Somerset Police say in a statement. Kneecap led a huge crowd in chants of “Free Palestine” at the festival. They also aimed an expletive-laden chant at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who had said he did not think it was “appropriate” for Kneecap to play Glastonbury, after one of its members was charged under the Terrorism Act. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was charged with supporting a proscribed terror organization for waving a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London last year. |

| #1 Yeah, but post a meme that the government doesn't approve of and you'll get 18 months in jail. |
