That article suggests they were being investigated for Fuck Keir Starmer chants? Makes zero sense for that to be thought of as criminal, what was the criminal offence that was being investigated?

I don't think they've ever really said for what they were under investigation. This was one of my posts just after Glastonbury when they said "riot, don't riot." Impression I kind of got was the police were just watching all the footage to see if any offences committed. Unless somebody make a specific complaint about either performance. All guesswork really. 🤷♂️ paulcook wrote:

Maybe I misheard/misremembered but I could have sworn that the cheeky Irish scamps said something along the lines of 'don't be starting a riot' *wink wink* My point remains that taking anything they say on stage literally is somewhat disingenuous Honestly, I found it difficult to hear it that way. I like the band generally, their film was one of my film highlights of the last couple of years. i think the prosecution is likely badly considered, but they are undoubtedly passionate about English courts prosecuting Irish nationalists like themselves and the call for a riot felt pretty genuine. Other opinions are available! They did both. First said riot, then a couple of minutes later he said "no riots, just love and support". "Love for Palestine". |

From my reading it is possible that it could be one of the recommendations *to* the government. It is certainly not govt policy. Nor has it been announced. |

You’re right, the new regulator is going to be called Offpiss.

Which would be appropriate because the water companies are taking the piss.
