The Spin
Left narrative
After an unjustified political witch-hunt, Kneecap are one step towards vindication for speaking out against the horrific scenes in the Middle East. Hypocrites continue to argue that the actions of the rap group are illegal after ignoring over 18 months of human rights violations in Gaza. Kneecap will not fold to media pressure and will continue to fight for what is right.
Right narrative
Despite Kneecap's actions being filmed by thousands and posted across the internet, the U.K.'s two-tiered justice system has once again failed to act in defense of the British people. By doing nothing, police encourage the uneducated to continue glorifying terrorism and supporting a cause they know nothing about like it's a fashion trend.
