A film about a Belfast rap group, replete with anti-British themes and nods to Irish republicanism, has taken the gong for Best British Debut at the Baftas. The Telegraphhas the details.
The Irish-language film Kneecap, by director and writer Rich Peppiatt, is based on a semi-fictionalised account of how the Belfast rap group of the same name was formed.
The outspoken band, made up of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Caireallain and JJ Ó Dochartaigh from West Belfast, is known for its provocative lyrics and merchandise in support of Irish republicanism.
During Sunday’s awards ceremony, the breakout movie was nominated in six categories – including best British film, best editing, best film not in the English language, best original screenplay, best casting and best debut for a British writer, director or producer.
After Peppiatt won the best debut, he took to the stage and said Kneecap was a “movement” and that “everyone should have their language respected and their culture respected”.
The trio’s name is derived from so-called kneecapping – where young people are shot in the legs by paramilitaries in republican and loyalist communities in Northern Ireland, because of allegedly being involved in crime or antisocial behaviour.
The film includes a joke that compares the Brighton bombing to a sex act.
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform, told the Telegraph: “This is an insult of the worst kind to all the good people of the RUC and British Army who were murdered by the IRA.” …
JJ Ó Dochartaigh, whose stage name is DJ Próvaí, attended the awards wearing his signature balaclava in the colours of the Irish tricolour.
The official Kneecap X page posted ahead of the awards ceremony on Sunday said: “We’re at the Baftas later – hopefully we steal a few to take back to Ireland.
“Don’t forget the British Government still occupy Ireland and they’re flying spy missions over Gaza as we speak to help Zionist fanatics bomb kids.
‘Free Palestine. Free the Six Counties.’”
In November 2024, the group won a discrimination case over a decision by Kemi Badenoch, now Conservative leader, to refuse them arts funding.
The trio had launched legal action claiming the decision to deny them a £14,250 grant discriminated against them on grounds of nationality and political opinion.

Exactly; and € & $ into the future. It’s a long term investment in the trade, quite likely. Not only that, were the recorded deaths caused by Covid-19, or “with” it, in tandem with other illnesses?
Was the bigger motivation not something to do with vaccine passes, digital ID and CBDCs – ie a step on the road towards a social credit system and the ability to control people’s travel, expenditure and behaviour? And possibly also getting universal acceptance of the mRNA platform, maybe with a view to depopulation and transhumanism agendas? Or maybe trying to eliminate control groups for the vaccines by minimising the number of people unvaccinated?
And perhaps the avoidance of traditional assessment methods for brand new drugs. Originally on the basis that we were in an Emergency (Emergency Use Authorization), along with “vaccines” having an easier ride than anything else. Then, when minor alterations were developed on a new “platform” they might make a better profit on each occasion when a new demand occurs.
does anyone have an article i could share about the danger of the ‘vaccine’ for those with autoimmune diseases ? no one will listen to me and they are going downhill with every shot . thank you.
The key point here is the with COVID. This means it uses the usual definition of COVID death, someone died within X days of having a positive test result. This probably includes suicides, car accidents, mobsters discussing business issues with rivals and people getting mauled by lions.
Example- a man mending his roof, slips and falls and breaks his neck! It was found he had tested positive for covid a week ago, so, Death caused by covid!

‘Vaccine’ from drowning in a swimming pool, ‘vaccine’ from dying in a road traffic accident, ‘vaccine’ from being killed by an accidental injury… I can see huge business opportunity. Sheeple will unquestionably follow ‘the science’ unable to see the BS as proven by the recent events.
And the best ‘vaccine’ of all , is the ultimate protection – simply obey every single instruction uttered by Your Government and you will be safe, happy and healthy 4eva
It is interesting to compare these figures with ONS figures for England & Wales.
We are obliged to use the ‘death with covid’ category – within 28 days of a positive PCR test. These include deaths with pre-existing conditions (e.g. heart failure) and co-morbidities (e.g. fatal accident)
The figures corresponding to Italy’s 162/72,422 (0.2%) are 436/80,830 (0.5%).
The ONS figures have been publicly available since January 2022!
Does this mean we carried out far more tests than Italy meaning that over twice the number of people dying from something else had a positive test result prior to their death?
I have written before that a simple comparison of 2020 all-cause mortality charts against earlier years shows significant increases in deaths around March/April 2020 in certain European countries (e.g. France, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, UK), whereas in others there was no such increase at all (e.g. Austria, Germany, Romania, Slovenia).
I therefore conclude there was neither a global pandemic at the time, nor was a novel, deadly disease circulating in Europe: a novel, deadly disease would, after all, cause excess deaths in all neighbouring countries.
I can only assume that the excess deaths in those countries with increased mortality were purely iatrogenic, caused by the strict adhesion to WHO-prescribed treatments, which were not so strictly adhered to in other countries. Or does someone have a better explanation for the discrepancies between neighbouring countries?
I quote again Denis Rancourt (https://denisrancourt.ca/), whose team performed in-depth analyses of all-cause mortality data spanning many countries of the world:
If there had been no pandemic propaganda or coercion, and governments and the medical establishment had simply gone on with business as usual, then there would not have been any excess mortality,
There was no pandemic causing excess mortality,
Measures caused excess mortality,
COVID-19 vaccination caused excess mortality.

Why? Italy was the control country in the west in order for the Western RPTB to see how much control they could exert through fear. Absolutely nothing to do with a deadly pathogen at all.
History shows 20% of us can think critically but sadly the rest can be controlled, “nudged” is I believe the new term, for simply being lied to. Bravo to those controlling the MSM.
Control of every human being on the planet is what they’re after, because they’ve known for 20 years that the capitalist/USA/banking system is finished – hence we have Climate/wokeism/deadly new virus etc.
Putin knows this full well – and China is pissing itself laughing at us all.
Just as an aside, read up on the real reasons WW 2 began – and it ain’t Germany invading Poland…

I do not agree that it reasonable for national statistics to take so long to publish. Data should be monitored continuously and it should normally be right in the first place.
private businesses have to produce accurate date promptly for tge tax man, shareholders and Companies House. Financial services businesses also have to file quarterly data to FCA and PRU.
as usual the public sector is not on top of the roles they are generously paid to do.

Indeed- a new business model of rapid development and rollout based on the same dodgy basic platform
I also think we cannot trust any statistic on “Covid deaths”

Probably played a part
Different groups with varied agendas all had something to gain

I wonder how many of those 162 had multiple comorbidities? My guess would be 162.
What’s the definition of a comorbidity? If it is a compromised immune system, then vaccination will soon become a comorbidity.

Why, you ask? Altogether now…. Because-because-because-because-becaaaaaaause…. Because of the wonderful profits it makes!
Go ask the man behind the curtain.
Example- a man mending his roof, slips and falls and breaks his neck! It was found he had tested positive for covid a week ago, so, Death caused by covid!

Yes, the Government, in the famous words of Assange, exists to move public money into the private hands.

I don’t know – but that could be an answer. After all, without PCR tests, what would have evidenced a ‘pandemic’?

Why the pic of the motorbike helmet? As a rider I find that suggestive, distracting and, dare I, offensive.
