Kneecap has apologized to the families of Cox and Amess. It said it has never supported Hamas or Hezbollah and that the footage circulating online has been “deliberately taken out of all context” as part of a “smear campaign” following their criticism of Israel and the United States in regards to the war in Gaza.

Tories not people.

That doesn't change what is being said. Calling for murder is calling for murder, and the "context" of "they're people I hate" changes nothing. Their quote was that it was "taken out of context", but you're even agreeing that it wasn't taken out of context, just that you agree with the context.

Also you're a mod here? And you're saying that it's absolutely fine to advocate for the killing of anyone that supports a political party that you don't like?

Rules:

Be a decent person

I guess we don't care about rule number 1 then haha. That's cool, now that I know that's how it is here and that the line isn't even crossed by calling for murder it's all good. I'm all for free speech, generally with the exception of direct threats to someones life.
