The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe

Should Kneecap be allowed to play at Glastonbury? RT if you think so. Free Speech is not a crime.

Some heat out there today lads ☀️

Scrígh mé seo tamall ó shin is foilsíodh inniu é i #Scéal. Tá ana bhród orm faoi @KNEECAPCEOL Tá soiléiriú tugtha acu as rudaí a dúirt siad ag ceolchoirm cúpla bliain ó shin. Anois dírigh ar qn bhfior choir, sléacht Iosrael i nGaza. #Gaeilge @IrishTimes @irishexaminer

KNEECAP STATEMENT: They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide. Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria. Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history. We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action. This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation. All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel. At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head. Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine. This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards. To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt. Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs. No smear campaign will change that. Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain. The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power. Shame on them.

@Buailtin Maith an fear!☘️

“Irish is a dead language!” Listen to Misha Yerhidzé, a 10 year old Ukranian boy who fled the war with his mother just over two years ago and settled in Baile an Fheirtéaraigh, in the West Kerry Gaeltacht. He has embraced the language and music of his new community.

A huge W to kick off our title defence! 💚 #TeamOfUs

Photographed in colour 112 years ago, I have enhanced for you this striking autochrome of a Tunisian man in the city of Sfax,Tunisia, which was taken by Franklin Price Knott in 1912. The pose and the lighting are both dramatic & stunning - almost like a promotional photo for a Morgan Freeman movie, pitched perfectly with the merest hint of smoke from a shisha pipe. It is autochrome as a real artform. This is original colour from 1912 and not colourised.

Went to Iceland to see the northern lights last night, gotta say I'm not disappointed.
