Kneecap Footage Allegedly Calling for Fans to ‘Kill Your Local MP’ is Being Assessed by U.K. Anti-Terror Police

Footage of Belfast rap trio Kneecap calling for fans to 'kill your local MP' is being assessed by London's anti-terror police.

A video of Belfast hip-hop trio Kneecap allegedly calling for the death of British MPs (Members of Parliament) is being assessed by anti-terror police in the U.K. This follows news last week that a historic video of the band expressing support for Hamas and Hezbollah – both of which are ascribed terror group status by the U.K. government – was being assessed by London’s Metropolitan Police. Sharon Osbourne, wife and manager of Ozzy, said, “This behavior raises concerns about the appropriateness of their participation in such a festival and further shows they are booked to play in the USA.” Kneecap are due to perform a headline tour in North America this October.
