I am sure we can all rejoice today that Kneecap rapper Mo Chara will not face a new terror trial after judges at the High Court in London rejected a Crown Prosecution Service appeal against the decision to throw out the case.

“Finally we can maybe move on, start to apply for visas again now that this is over and continue to use whatever platform we have to continue to talk about Gaza, Iran, Cuba or whatever it is that is the topic of the day because as lads from West Belfast we're not going to shy away from this stuff".

When asked if they would pursue costs for lack of income Kneecap's solicitor said: "To be fair I think the judgment is embarrassing enough for them".

"This entire process was never about me, never about any threat to the public and never about 'terrorism', a word used by the British government to discredit people you oppress both in Ireland and across the world. It was always about Palestine and about what happens if you dare to speak up. About what happens if you can reach large groups of people and expose their hypocrisy.”

"I will not be silent. Kneecap will not be silent."

Amen to that!

By the way, the band are performing in Cuba next week.! 👊😎
