KNEECAP STATEMENT

We’ve been blocked from receiving significant music funding because a Tory Minister doesn’t like our art.

Kneecap are cringe wigger larpers from Belfast that I assume no one else here will have heard of.
One of the members always wears a balaclava that looks like it was knitted by his nan for some reason
Their "unique" selling point is they are Irish communists who like drugs and hate Britain (what a fresh and exciting new perspective)
Their name comes from one of the IRA's signature moves
Kneecapping is considered a "trademark" of the IRA, although it became less popular over time because the disability and mortality incurred was unpopular with the community.
Kneecappings were a weekly occurrence in West Belfast by 1975.
Anyway, they recently applied for a British government grant, were obviously denied and now them and other various undesirables are crying about it on Twitter.

Some fellow republicans don't understand why they'd even take the money in the first place though
