    They should be replaced by Elbow.

    By the way, did you know that the words 'patella' (knee cap) and 'paella' are cognate. Clue: it's about being dish-shaped, the latter being prepared in a pan of that shape.

    Quite act to deploy a bit of political sectarianism I guess, but condemnation come from across the spectrum.

    Difficult one really, there has been some decent discussions on it. I don't think their fairly weak apology helped them much really.

    Encouraging people to kill others would surely be most people's idea of crossing the threshold into criminal territory.

    ' I want all Tories dead' - offensive but I'd imagine legal.


    'kill your local mp' - incitement, a direct call to action and therefore criminal?

    Will be interesting to see what the decision of the police is

    Isn't some bird who went on a twitter rant after the brutal murder of 3 children doing porridge for this type of hate speech ?

    Counter terrorism police investigating.

    They could be in big trouble here. Shouting about "Kill your MP" and the "only good Tory is a dead Tory" to a large audience who are lapping it up, just a few months after one was killed in their constituency is potentially a very serious offence.

    Same if they shouted "Up Hamas and Up Hezbollah", for which there are videos, apparently.

    The woman who was jailed for calling for hotels to be set alight was jailed for 31 months.

    I'm partial to a bit of angry rap. I love RATM and saw Idles last summer. Also enjoy Irish folk music including Irish rebel music, but I do think they have crossed a line and they seem thoroughly unlikeable (being a tosser is not a crime of course). It will be interesting to see what happens in light of the wider "two-tier justice" arguments.
