The Irish Rap collective Kneecap has been referred to counter-terror police for a second time due to a resurfaced video from 2023.
The group hailing from Northern Ireland is already being investigated by the Metropolitan Police for allegedly saying ‘up Hamas, up Hezbollah‘ whilst they were performing last year.
It’s being reported that the Metropolitan Police are now looking at another video from a concert that took place in London in 2023; in addition counter-terror officers will be looking at the video to see if they broke terrorism laws.
The video showed a member of the band saying: ‘We’re still under British occupation in Ireland. We still have old men in London making decisions that affect my life in Ireland.
‘And even worse, they’re f*****g Tories. The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP.’
A spokesman for the Met confirmed to the Daily Mail that they were made aware of a video believed to be from an event in November 2024.
It has referred it to the Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit to determine if any police investigation is needed.
