For contrast, this is their tribute to Cilla Black. You can imagine how much better it would be if it were created in the medium of jelly beans

It's just been brought to my attention that it could be due to the market dominance and popularity of McDonnell's curry sauce, I think this makes sense!

One thing I still haven't gotten used to about living in Britain is the curry sauce you get at the chippy. Here, the default is the fruity Chinese-style curry sauce, whereas back home it seemed to always be the Japanese Katsu-style curry. Anyway the Katsu one is better with chips, Brits please adapt

Kneecap @kneecapceol.bsky.social · 3d

A wee message from us 👇

A Message to the Police (British) State

News of a Crown Prosecution Service Appeal against the ruling of their own judge is unsurprising.

He ruled the charge was ‘unlawful and null’ and it was.

It is unsurprising because this whole process has not been driven by the police or the courts, it has been driven by politicans backed up by British media. This is political policing.

There is no ‘important point of law’. The CPS have submitted nothing new in their appeal. What there is though, is a state wide witch-hunt against Palestinian solidarity.

The media were gleefully informed about this appeal before we were.

😠

A Message to the Police (British) State

Once again this is a massive waste of taxpayers money, of police time, of court time.

Once again there are endless news reports about Mo Chara, about Kneecap but we are NOT the story.

Yesterday 104 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza and hundreds more maimed as Israel commits genocide.

Entire families wiped out, people bombed to pieces as they slept, young kids with limbs blown off and no medicaine to treat them.

This is aided and supported by the British State.

We will fight you in your court again. We will win again.

Every person on the flotillas is as important as the next but the fact that the entire European political system has hardly had a word to say about the kidnapping of elected reps in international waters and then imprisoned is absolutely shocking
