We dont want these peasants in our city.

Not just that, they’re bloody shite.

Not a fan of theirs, watched their “infamous” Glastonbury set to see what all the fuss was about and was left distinctly unimpressed

Going back, were there protests when Wings played at The Gaumont in 1975? Seeing as 3 years before they’d recorded a song called Give Ireland Back To The Irish

I’m not a fan of political posturing at gigs, stopped going to see Steve Mason as he’d turned into a pound shop Roger Waters and going off on long rants in between songs, but I’m also not keen on banning things even if I don’t agree with them

I don’t like their music but free speech is a basic right. Calling for a united Ireland or a Free Palestine are not crimes. I hate Tommy Robinson but as long as he stays within the law then he has the right to express his views.

Yes, but people go for the music not to be lectured on someone's political views.

In this case they go for the political stuff. By now, at least 90% of the people there will know that they'll get political statements and they'll be ready to cheer it all. People who don't want to hear it won't go. It's only a question of how far the political statements will go and whether any of them will be illegal.

That reminds me of when I went to see Young Fathers a few years back
A brilliant band and the gig I saw them play at Hammersmith Odeon is one of the best I've ever been to, me and my wife were literally speechless when we got out, they were so good

Towards the end of the show they started a chant of "F*ck The Tories" I had to laugh as I heard a couple of young poshos in front of us shout "Yah f*ck the tories" the irony of it all seemed rather lost on them as they toddled off in their mustard chords

I think anyone who complains about Kneecap being too political has missed the point. It’s like going to a Who gig and complaining it’s a bit loud. (One for the oldies but feck me I saw them once and my ears took a week to recover)

I've seen The Who several times over the years and I do believe they are in the Guiness Book of Records as being THE loudest live band ever. Probably explains why I am now deaf in one ear all these years on!

Slade back in the 70’s were bloody loud too

Saw them at Winter Gardens in Bournemouth it was only when we got back to Salisbury that any of us in the car could hear properly again

As others have said, we have at the moment (hopefully we never go down Trump route, banning critical press), freedom of speech in this country, even if you disagree with the sentiments

And usually fans going to shows are well aware if politics will get raised during gig, so I see no problem

Funnily enough I went to that Wings gig in 1975, I was still at school but a mate of mine was a big Beatles fan and got two tickets in the ballot, I hummed and harred about going as Saints were playing Bristol Rovers in the League cup that night.

I wasn't a big Beatles fan, the early 70's were a bit of a down period for their reputation, the average person in their teens saw them as 1960's and not "IN"

But I quite likes the Band on the run album, so i went to the gig.

Wings hadn't played live for a few years at this point I remember and the Southampton gig was the first night of their World Tour so the press were all over it, what would he play etc.

There were no protests of any note if any to be honest, it was 3 years since the single had been released ( The other side of it was a musical version of the nursery rhyme Mary had a little lamb.

All the media frenzy had long since died down and the truth was this was just about the only political song that McCartney had written (Or would write ) so it had been long forgotten.

The gig was a little strange, Wings were surprisingly good, but everyone sat down for 90% of the gig, every other gig I had been to at the Gaumont saw everyone stand up down the front etc, it only livened up at the end when people stood up and went to the front when he played a few rockier numbers.

Most of the audience were in their late 20's and 30's.

It was lost on me at the time just how big a deal this gig was, the average 14 year old saw the Beatles as past it, their solo songs did not sell brilliantly, wikipedia said that the Ireland single reached number 16.

As context the only John Lennon solo single to go to number 1 until his death was Imagine, after Band on the run, McCartney & Wings sold a lot of records.

A the bus station after the gig I found out that Saints lost 1-0

One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

It’s subjective.

You cannot reason a person out of something they were not reasoned into.

Agree with this. The Ukrainians are terrorists just like the Maquis were.
How much terror have the Brit government dished out over the course of their empire building time.
Don't know where to start so best I don't.
