Met’s excuse for abandoning prosecution: statutory time limit
The Met Police have confirmed that they are abandoning all action against Kneecap rapper Mo Chara and that the terror charge laid against him in May has been dropped. A court hearing scheduled for August has been cancelled.
The force, which says the statutory time limit for the alleged offences has expired – something police and the CPS would have known long before now.
Police have also confirmed that a wider investigation into the band has been dropped, no doubt leaving the pearl-clutching, genocide-apologist Israel lobby frothing at the mouth.
Starmer’s ‘lawfare’ war on those who stand against Israel’s genocide in Gaza, to protect Israel from scrutiny and challenge, frequently unravels, no doubt the reason Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is moving to have protest group Palestine Action listed as a terrorist group alongside ISIS and al-Qaeda, making membership of or support for the group a criminal offen e punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

The gnashers will be going apoplectic…Fucking great!!! I’d (almost) pay to see footage of their convulsing and contorting in rage.
Oh…and NO hearing = NO riot.
So there’s the investigation over last night’s comment kiboshed.
Winner!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳💪💪💪💪💪
Now….imagine if keef was still DPP…
‘TO THE RICH AND POWERFUL.
Last throes ‘Great Men & Women’ (?)
As arms sales, Gaza’s land, gas, oil & a new canal cause this capitalist crime.
But a light is shining in the oppressed of the world.
And it’s name is Palestine!’

Yours in Peace.
Let us share a few moments of quiet satisfaction for another defeat for the supporters of the zionist entity.
Zionism is finished.
The settler colonialist entity is now a pariah in the eyes of the civilised world.
We will not rest until the zionist entity collapses.
Palestine has a right to exist.
In trying to extinguish that right, zionism has forfeited its right to exist.
Statutory time limit. BULLSHIT. And what an insult to the intelligence of the public here in Britain.
The protectors and enablers of Zionist realised that their legal argument was paper-thin and they didn’t have a proverbial leg to stand on. If they weren’t so noxious, they’d be comedic.
and when Cooper and Starmer realised how widespread the support for Kneecap’s opinion and right to express it, were, they saw for the first time that they’d been sussed as authoritarian, anti-Palestine enemies of free-thought, free-speech and human rights.
Zionism isn’t the issue for Labour-in-name-only. Their ability to dupe the population and get away with it is.
Wonder if it sets a precedent for those they’ve ruined for (pre)historic twitter posts they’ve dug up from 2008 (for example)
I mean, last week keef said something that he vehemently disagrees with this week. That’s been going on since the useless twunt became an mp – probably before, too.
On another note…

Please set up an offshoot called That media whore, gobshite and total weirdo – ed balls – from our tv screens, newspapers, and drawing breath.
And get that group proscribed, too.
Congratulations to Kneecap. Great set on the stage at Glastonbury!
