OrteilGenouto Canada@lemmy.ca•Irish rappers Kneecap barred from entering Canada: 'Dangerous endorsements of violence and hate'1·16 hours agoFor sure, but let’s also be realistic here, three Irish rappers holding up a flag isn’t exactly carrying any water.
The fact that they were brought up on hate speech charges for holding up a flag that was tossed on stage at one of their shows is more of an indictment of the heavy-handedness of UK law than of them.
I’m sure their frequent criticism of the British treatment of colonial peoples has nothing to do with their legal problems, like pointing out that the Black and Tans that terrorized the Irish in the 1920s were relocated to Palestine after they were done in Ireland.

The three strikes provisions sound very American, and the hate speech changes sound very UK. Is it just me?
