Happy St George’s Day . Play a game – when will the BBC first describe St George as ‘non British ‘ or ‘probably a Turkish Muslim ‘ or a ‘refugee ‘ or a ‘far right symbol ‘ …. You know their song … dump the licence …

Waiting for Lucy to get two in a row. C’mon girl, go for it.
The BBC are biased in favour of Hamas and Palestinians and Islam. Defund the BBC. Dump the TellyTax!
I was elsewhere employed, Snuffy, but a warm welcome to the podium!
Have I time to watch a Prime before slumber…?
…maybe, maybe not…
Scrobie, I was hoping that Lucy Pevensey would get first place, again, and then go for three in a row. 🙂
That would make… O.03
Footage from a Kneecap concert at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London in November 2024 shows a member of the group, draped in a Hezbollah flag, shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah” to the crowd.
during their Coachella performance on April 18, 2025, the Irish band Kneecap displayed the message “F*ck Israel, Free Palestine” on large screens behind them
band member Mo Chara spoke to the crowd, saying, “The Palestinians have nowhere to go. It’s their fucking home, and they’re bombing them from the skies. If you’re not calling it a genocide, what the f*ck are you calling it?” before leading a “Free, free Palestine” chant
@Grok why were irish band Kneecap given UK government money ?
“The Irish rap group Kneecap was awarded £14,250 by the UK government following a legal battle over a previously blocked arts grant.
The funding was part of the Music Export Growth Scheme (MEGS), which supports UK-registered artists in expanding to global markets.
Initially, their application was approved by an independent panel from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in December 2023. However, then-Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch intervened and blocked the grant, citing the band’s political views, particularly their opposition to British rule in Northern Ireland and their provocative imagery, such as a 2019 tour poster for their “Farewell to the Union” tour.
Kneecap challenged this decision in Belfast’s High Court, arguing that blocking the funding was discriminatory based on their nationality and political opinions. In November 2024, the UK’s Department for Business and Trade, now under a Labour government, conceded that Badenoch’s decision was “unlawful and procedurally unfair.” The court ruled in Kneecap’s favor, and the government agreed to release the £14,250 and cover the band’s legal costs, stating it was not in the public interest to continue contesting the case. Kneecap stated the legal action was about equality, not the money itself, and they donated the grant to two Belfast youth charities, Glór Na Móna and RCity Belfast.”
Got that ? The UK is a banana republic where the Tory/ Labour establishment fail to take care with TAXPAYER money, instead they hand it out like confetti.
Here they set up a scheme to fund export growth fo musicians, but gave an NGO the BPI the job of handing it out
BPI gave it to well known band from Ireland who are outrageous provocateurs who didn’t need the money an didn’t use it for the purpose said.
Idiot Badenooch badly prepared her legal case.
Instead of preparing a dossier of the band’s lawbreaking, she opposed the grants on grounds of their politics
You can’t do that so the court found in their favour.
Now she blames Labour for not contesting the sase.

Woke reporters.
I was caught in a shower a while ago, now I know how the Blitzt must have felt.
Following the woke logic.. if I turn my tap on too much I may blow the house up with a water bomb, I’d best be careful.
I was running a bath with both taps going this morning, damn, it could have been another Chernobyl.
