As a 50 year old Irish republican with a Protestant background, I have huge respect for these guys. Caught them at EP last year and the energy was class. Been enjoying them ever since and delighted to see them doing so well. They picked up a microphone instead of a gun and they speak a lot of sense that seems to be missing with the new wave of young republicans. Massive respect to the lads. Bring it on.
Scottish Gaelic was also banned but now it’s enjoying a revival even in the lowlands. Gaelic school units, Gaelic choirs and BBC Alba which is a Gaelic channel. All of our mountains, glens are in Gaelic so in a sense has always been alive. Eg. Glasgow is Gaelic for green place.
Very similar suppression of Gaelic as well as Indigenous languages here in Nova Scotia. My grandparents spoke it (even though neither them nor their parents had ever been to Scotland) and I’ve been trying to learn it and then hopefully the Indigenous language of my area as well. Great video from the lads I’ve been liking their music and can understand a lot despite only knowing Scottish Gaelic
Pictish (ancient British) was the indigenous language of the Scottish highlands. We know Columba needed a translator when evangelising the Isle of Skye, meaning the people there were non Gaelic speaking in the 6th century.

Im from Glasgow and over 40. The football bullshit is such a stain on our history but still huge part of the culture. I still advise international visitors to never mention Celtic Rangers in Scotland. Its dumb but true. I know people who fought in NI and still believe they were there for valid reasons. Its dumb but true. Religion is a weapon.
religion is beautiful, it’s people that weaponise and corrupt it and i’m from the 6 counties and can say for definite our conflicts got nothing to do with religion it’s all political and ethnic identity.
It's part of the republican tradition. When Long Kesh was demolished, they found mounds of books in the republican cells, including many rare volumes. When they cleared out the loyalist cells all they found was pornography and a few bodybuilding magazines.
Absolutely spot on... I speak 6 languages competently, but had 14 years of uninspiring, irrelevant Department of Education Irish and can't speak a word of Irish! Yet a few years of German, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese and I can speak those languages competently to fluently... both Irish teachers and the Department of Education and Skills have to own this one for their enormous failure.
I wouldn't really blame the teachers in schools it's the curriculum they are told to teach. I'm 26 now but I wish I took learning irish more serious in school. I would love to be fluent. Just seemed so boring in school.
Eh, the parents are responsible for teaching stuff like Irish. You have to keep learning and speaking it outside of the school. Clearly the parents do not do that . Teachers have to teach other subjects , you know, ones that actually help to get jobs
Why should it be just the government ? What are the parents doing , as the child’s primary educator ? Are they speaking Irish at home ? Historically, groups like The Gaelic League have failed miserably to improve and grow the language because outside of a GAA game or a dance, fuck all wanted to put the commitment into learning and perfecting what is a difficult language to learn
Despite being Irish republicans i see these lads are at least trying to extend a hand to the working class British Unionists within Northern Ireland. Thats they key to offer a united Ireland that respects and welcomes those with British identity. Thats the key to unity. i like that these boys have worked out that the working class bonds between us should be cherished. Good Luck

It’s not gold, it’s orange, surely that’s the whole point, no? The gold is a relatively recent thing. If one can call the Troubles recent. Regardless, listening to these lads is one of the best and most refreshing things I have ever seen on this channel. Divide and rule. We see this everywhere, America right now with working class people voting for Trump and in Britain with Reform. The establishment and the rich fear a united working class.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am Scottish person living in England and trying to explain how the Welsh, NI and Scottish population feels about Westminster is like an attack on them. Its not. Its not against the English, its against Westminster rule on the non union and the abuse of power in the devolved nations. Its criminal. English know nothing about the cost of the union nor even visit the rest of the country. You don't get to vote or even comment unless you have lived in the area and contributed to the community. Nobody in the UK knows about NI as they are fed lies upon lies. Same as they did to Scotland and Wales
They keep us poor and then mock our poverty. They talk about democracy but won't let us leave. They "gave" us our own parliaments, but their parliament can just override ours. And now, the absolute icing on the cake, is they've made the Celtic Nations complicit in colonial genocide, again. I moved back home to Wales a few years ago, after living in Newcastle for just over a decade. Geordies absolute get it. They've been on the receiving end of it too.
Correct. I went to RC school in England (during The Troubles) and happened to have a lot of Irish and Scottish teachers so was taught a great deal of the history of the British Isles (in the eighties if you were RC in Southern England you mainly came from Ireland,Scotland or some other part of the Empire). I even had a fiercely Welsh music teacher who taught us some beautiful Welsh language songs and folktales. The first time I was ever around majority English people who had not come from RC or non English backgrounds was at University and it made me realise how little they knew about what colonialism did to countries like Ireland, Scotland, the Commonwealth etc. They really did not have a clue - they were brought up on BBC and Thatcher nonsense!

Great interview with a group of well focused lads with their heads screwed on straight. I feel the biggest thing to take away from all the points they hit on is this idea of "inclusion" whether it be Irish, English, loyalist, nationalist etc. All this is not going to be solved without the participation of all sides, with all views and backgrounds accepted. The English government has always ruled as exclusionary and more pertinently, nothing anywhere has ever been solved by partitions, divisions, borders and walls. I wish these lads well on their journey and fully support them. Btw I'm English and work for the crown but enough is enough.
Good on you, Lads, I'm SO proud of you! I'm a 57-years old Irish-born emigrant, these days Japan is home, but my pride in my home-country has not died in the least. You speak the truth, and I'm forever grateful for that. Growing up in north county Dublin, most of the adults around us refused to talk about the situation in the north, anytime the topic came up - especially during the troubles - every adult in the room tut-tutted, shook their heads and quickly changed the subject. What a pathetic attitude! Thankfully, things have changed for the better and you guys are playing a role in that...Just for the record, one of my drinking buddys here is a fine, proud protestant from Lisburn, who celebrates St. Patrick's Day in fine style...May God bless you guys, 😆☘.
Once all catholics and protestants realise we've all been played by the British govt for 50 odd years then we can move forward together. Lots can't grasp it though either through sheer ignorance or bitterness.
catholic & protestant working class did get together over mass illegal immigration in protests this year & these lads have clearly sided with the establishment and pro EU parties who are all in favour of the depletion of the native populations of Ireland. Labelling concerned communities as 'far right' isn't an argument
20.36 - the point about trying to wipe out a cultures language as the first step in the colonial project is bang on the money. Saddam Hussein tried to do the same to the Kurds, Slobodan Milosovic wanted to do it to the Kosovar Albanians. All 3 examples all involve peoples being forced out into the toughest mountainous regions of those places, and each is a story of perseverance and survival that can only be truly told in the mother tongue.
Well I'm here thank the Irish for contributing to the Jamaican language and the early school systems post slavery there is still an Irish community in Jamaica to this day and their consumption of guiness is only secondary to Eire .having witnessed the bad treatment and prejudice towards the Irish community in my home town in the West Midlands there seemed to be this superiority complex the English displayed to all the smaller countries but more so the Irish as they seemed to be made the butt of the Englishman Irishman jokes ..independence is enevatable the sooner the better . England just has to accept they are not in the days of gallion ships and pirates swashbuckling their way around the world or the destruction of catholicism for the sake of one kings ego. Peace
I will admit that being over 40 I have little interest or knowledge in their music, but as someone from a republican area in Belfast I am delighted with how well them 3 gentlemen just spoke and with their attitude, message and aims !!
What a fantastic and articulate interview with a great bunch of Top Irish lads. So switched on and it's a blessing to know that these youngsters are part of building a future United Ireland. Great political instincts and anti-imperialist analysis, the best UA-cam feature I've seen in a long time. All power to Kneecap. ✊
Wrong, the British government certainly does serve some people. They are the owner class ie the Establishment ie the ones who own all the banks and big corporations, the aristocracy, the people who have been the servants of the government and monarchy going back hundreds of years etc. Look to where the aristocrats went to take up careers when the government started to demand proper taxes from the aristocracy after the First World War - that will give you a clue.

These 3 talk about colonialism but at the same time say Ireland isnt for the natives, that its for everyone. What's colonialism if not denying the natives their land? They only want this for Ireland and European countries though. Palestine is meant to be for Palestinians, but Ireland isnt for the Irish. How does that work???

"taking on the establishment" *is being platformed by an establishment mouthpiece, has literally nothing controversial or dangerous to the status quo to say*. Utterly pathetic.
No one mentions the extermination of the Irish culture in the north of Ireland. People have been brainwashed into thinking they’re British due to religion, which couldn’t be further of the truth. These people are born & bred in Ireland, many generations removed from the people who settled here. They’re brainwashed to believe a certain rhetoric based on the community they live in and the upbringing they had. As an Irish person living in the north of Ireland, we should be able to learn about our country, our language and our culture. When I was in school we learned very little about Ireland, but an alarming rate on English history, and learning the Irish language wasn’t even an option to learn in school hours, only an option for an after school club (which obviously nobody went to). They’re trying to squeeze the life out of our history while everyone is completely oblivious. If you read this and feel like it’s political, I can assure you, you are a part of the problem. This is just facts, and should be spoken about openly all over the isle of Ireland. If you are born in Northern Ireland, you are Irish and it doesn’t matter how many times you tinker with the wording, you belong to this land and should be worried about it just as much as the next person, regardless of religion. Most people reading this wouldn’t even be able to tell you the difference between the two religions but will openly hate the other side because it was instilled to them as kids. None of what I say comes from a place of hatred, it comes from a proud Irishman and father, who would’ve loved to have the chance to learn more about our land and would love for my boys to have the same type of opportunity. There will never be peace when people are happy to be ignorant.
Theyre signed to a record label with corporate backing, all their banking, healthcare and education came from the British taxpayer. These guys are young and definitely hyped up on the attention. Standard procedure.
They are British tax payers too - so, they funded themselves. Their success under this regime, isn't responsible for your failure, nor does is mean that they shouldn't question and challenge the ruling class. How have you arrived here? Healthcare and education are basic human rights, that any government with an ounce of accountability and business acumen should adhere to, which they have, but that doesn't mean they aren't accountable for their atrocities as well.

What a switched on, thoughtful, and empathetic trio of youngers. Three fine examples of their generation. If there's more like these three ready to come through and they start taking charge of putting right the wrongs that divide and conquer governance have imposed on us for far too long, then when my time comes I'd feel like I'm leaving the world in better hands than those in which I found it ❤️🔥 When truthes are actively searched for and embraced, Commonalities appreciated & differences accepted face to face, Irrespective of creed, colour, or race. Then power is with the people, not the state. Fk hate! The only hate worthy of revision, Should be aimed squarely at sowers of the seeds of division. Keep fighting the good fight. Be not afraid. 😉
Brilliant Interview and Fantastic group of lads ,who understand perfectly the British states divide and conquer plan. Be it Ireland, Scotland, Wales or Cornish . As Scot, I grew up being told my language was useless and slang, I am Scots and I deeply despise the British for their destruction of my Culture.
The film was brilliant, one of the best of year, let alone the best comedy film. Love that they show so much solidarity with Palestine and I spotted the flag in the film.
I live in a multicultural society which celebrates the many ethnic origins of all its citizens. As the guys said, it doesn't dilute your culture, it enhances it. The worst that ever happened to me was multicultural indigestion from stuffing myself with foods from all corners of the earth on the occasion of a multicultural festival.
"it enhances it" does it? When your entire culture was built upon Christianity and Paganism, and the newly brought "culture" that are supposed to be mix are constantly trying to kill the original, homeland culture - is it enhancement? Or is it soft conquering?

I tried speaking Irish with them too, but I was rusty AF and couldn't understand some basic things they were saying, but since then, thanks to Kneecap I've been inspired to practice and I'm on a much better level now.

That’s actually a good example; if the British hadn’t gone into Palestine, took what they could and then turned a chunk of the country into Israel, nobody would be singing “from the river to the sea”. The actions of empire often leave permanent scars.

The British government serves its donors
news flash: every government the world over serves their donors or (more generally) those with power to keep them in power.

Absolutely spot on... I speak 6 languages competently, but had 14 years of uninspiring, irrelevant Department of Education Irish and can't speak a word of Irish! Yet a few years of German, Dutch, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese and I can speak those languages competently to fluently... both Irish teachers and the Department of Education and Skills have to own this one for their enormous failure.
I wouldn't really blame the teachers in schools it's the curriculum they are told to teach. I'm 26 now but I wish I took learning irish more serious in school. I would love to be fluent. Just seemed so boring in school.
Eh, the parents are responsible for teaching stuff like Irish. You have to keep learning and speaking it outside of the school. Clearly the parents do not do that . Teachers have to teach other subjects , you know, ones that actually help to get jobs
Why should it be just the government ?
What are the parents doing , as the child’s primary educator ? Are they speaking Irish at home ?
Historically, groups like The Gaelic League have failed miserably to improve and grow the language because outside of a GAA game or a dance, fuck all wanted to put the commitment into learning and perfecting what is a difficult language to learn
Despite being Irish republicans i see these lads are at least trying to extend a hand to the working class British Unionists within Northern Ireland. Thats they key to offer a united Ireland that respects and welcomes those with British identity. Thats the key to unity. i like that these boys have worked out that the working class bonds between us should be cherished. Good Luck

Regardless, listening to these lads is one of the best and most refreshing things I have ever seen on this channel. Divide and rule.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am Scottish person living in England and trying to explain how the Welsh, NI and Scottish population feels about Westminster is like an attack on them. Its not. Its not against the English, its against Westminster rule on the non union and the abuse of power in the devolved nations. Its criminal. English know nothing about the cost of the union nor even visit the rest of the country. You don't get to vote or even comment unless you have lived in the area and contributed to the community. Nobody in the UK knows about NI as they are fed lies upon lies. Same as they did to Scotland and Wales
100% spot on 👍🏴
They keep us poor and then mock our poverty. They talk about democracy but won't let us leave. They "gave" us our own parliaments, but their parliament can just override ours. And now, the absolute icing on the cake, is they've made the Celtic Nations complicit in colonial genocide, again. I moved back home to Wales a few years ago, after living in Newcastle for just over a decade. Geordies absolute get it. They've been on the receiving end of it too.
Correct. I went to RC school in England (during The Troubles) and happened to have a lot of Irish and Scottish teachers so was taught a great deal of the history of the British Isles (in the eighties if you were RC in Southern England you mainly came from Ireland,Scotland or some other part of the Empire). I even had a fiercely Welsh music teacher who taught us some beautiful Welsh language songs and folktales. The first time I was ever around majority English people who had not come from RC or non English backgrounds was at University and it made me realise how little they knew about what colonialism did to countries like Ireland, Scotland, the Commonwealth etc. They really did not have a clue - they were brought up on BBC and Thatcher nonsense!

Great interview with a group of well focused lads with their heads screwed on straight. I feel the biggest thing to take away from all the points they hit on is this idea of "inclusion" whether it be Irish, English, loyalist, nationalist etc. All this is not going to be solved without the participation of all sides, with all views and backgrounds accepted. The English government has always ruled as exclusionary and more pertinently, nothing anywhere has ever been solved by partitions, divisions, borders and walls. I wish these lads well on their journey and fully support them. Btw I'm English and work for the crown but enough is enough.
Clearly you have little, if not absolutely no education when it comes to British history.
Good on you, Lads, I'm SO proud of you! I'm a 57-years old Irish-born emigrant, these days Japan is home, but my pride in my home-country has not died in the least. You speak the truth, and I'm forever grateful for that. Growing up in north county Dublin, most of the adults around us refused to talk about the situation in the north, anytime the topic came up - especially during the troubles - every adult in the room tut-tutted, shook their heads and quickly changed the subject. What a pathetic attitude! Thankfully, things have changed for the better and you guys are playing a role in that...Just for the record, one of my drinking buddys here is a fine, proud protestant from Lisburn, who celebrates St. Patrick's Day in fine style...May God bless you guys, 😆☘.

Once all catholics and protestants realise we've all been played by the British govt for 50 odd years then we can move forward together. Lots can't grasp it though either through sheer ignorance or bitterness.
catholic & protestant working class did get together over mass illegal immigration in protests this year & these lads have clearly sided with the establishment and pro EU parties who are all in favour of the depletion of the native populations of Ireland. Labelling concerned communities as 'far right' isn't an argument

Great interview, Sean! More Irish content please 🇮🇪
20.36 - the point about trying to wipe out a cultures language as the first step in the colonial project is bang on the money. Saddam Hussein tried to do the same to the Kurds, Slobodan Milosovic wanted to do it to the Kosovar Albanians. All 3 examples all involve peoples being forced out into the toughest mountainous regions of those places, and each is a story of perseverance and survival that can only be truly told in the mother tongue.
English speaking settler colonials did it all over the world. Spain Portugal did it in South America.
Thire is deep history here mother land
Good point, and they’re still at it; there’s no better way if enraging a unionist in Scotland than erecting a bilingual road sign in Gaelic/English.
Scotland too. Speaking Gaelic after 1745 could get you a death sentence.
Well I'm here thank the Irish for contributing to the Jamaican language and the early school systems post slavery there is still an Irish community in Jamaica to this day and their consumption of guiness is only secondary to Eire .having witnessed the bad treatment and prejudice towards the Irish community in my home town in the West Midlands there seemed to be this superiority complex the English displayed to all the smaller countries but more so the Irish as they seemed to be made the butt of the Englishman Irishman jokes ..independence is enevatable the sooner the better .

Wrong, the British government certainly does serve some people. They are the owner class ie the Establishment ie the ones who own all the banks and big corporations, the aristocracy, the people who have been the servants of the government and monarchy going back hundreds of years etc. Look to where the aristocrats went to take up careers when the government started to demand proper taxes from the aristocracy after the First World War - that will give you a clue.

No one mentions the extermination of the Irish culture in the north of Ireland. People have been brainwashed into thinking they’re British due to religion, which couldn’t be further of the truth. These people are born & bred in Ireland, many generations removed from the people who settled here. They’re brainwashed to believe a certain rhetoric based on the community they live in and the upbringing they had. As an Irish person living in the north of Ireland, we should be able to learn about our country, our language and our culture. When I was in school we learned very little about Ireland, but an alarming rate on English history, and learning the Irish language wasn’t even an option to learn in school hours, only an option for an after school club (which obviously nobody went to). They’re trying to squeeze the life out of our history while everyone is completely oblivious. If you read this and feel like it’s political, I can assure you, you are a part of the problem. This is just facts, and should be spoken about openly all over the isle of Ireland. If you are born in Northern Ireland, you are Irish and it doesn’t matter how many times you tinker with the wording, you belong to this land and should be worried about it just as much as the next person, regardless of religion. Most people reading this wouldn’t even be able to tell you the difference between the two religions but will openly hate the other side because it was instilled to them as kids. None of what I say comes from a place of hatred, it comes from a proud Irishman and father, who would’ve loved to have the chance to learn more about our land and would love for my boys to have the same type of opportunity. There will never be peace when people are happy to be ignorant.
Theyre signed to a record label with corporate backing, all their banking, healthcare and education came from the British taxpayer. These guys are young and definitely hyped up on the attention. Standard procedure.
They are British tax payers too - so, they funded themselves. Their success under this regime, isn't responsible for your failure, nor does is mean that they shouldn't question and challenge the ruling class. How have you arrived here? Healthcare and education are basic human rights, that any government with an ounce of accountability and business acumen should adhere to, which they have, but that doesn't mean they aren't accountable for their atrocities as well.

Well thanks to kemi bad enough 🤢 ...Found your channel and subbed ! Cheers lads 🎉love the message you are all bringing to the masses .🎉
Are day will come, free Derry, my brother translate into Irish for me lads 🇮🇪
“Our” day will come, mate. You have spelt that word wrong.
Well done lads from a Limerick man in Australia 🍻☘💪💚
Smashed it in Nottingham, great energy, whatever our differences wve more in commom with each other than those who govern us, power corrupts absolutely
I lived and worked in Galway doing scaffolding for a while and one place called Leitir Moir im sure it was, everyone spoke Irish as well as English. Great people and very welcoming ❤
What a switched on, thoughtful, and empathetic trio of youngers. Three fine examples of their generation.
If there's more like these three ready to come through and they start taking charge of putting right the wrongs that divide and conquer governance have imposed on us for far too long, then when my time comes I'd feel like I'm leaving the world in better hands than those in which I found it ❤️🔥
When truthes are actively searched for and embraced,
Commonalities appreciated & differences accepted face to face,
Irrespective of creed, colour, or race.
Then power is with the people, not the state.
Fk hate!
The only hate worthy of revision,
Should be aimed squarely at sowers of the seeds of division.
Keep fighting the good fight.
Be not afraid.
😉
Brilliant Interview and Fantastic group of lads ,who understand perfectly the British states divide and conquer plan. Be it Ireland, Scotland, Wales or Cornish . As Scot, I grew up being told my language was useless and slang, I am Scots and I deeply despise the British for their destruction of my Culture.
You serve the establishment.
Does anyone know what top DJ Provai is wearing
Bohemians , Dublin.
I thought this was a comedy sketch when I saw the thumbnail of the knitted balaclava.
The film was brilliant, one of the best of year, let alone the best comedy film. Love that they show so much solidarity with Palestine and I spotted the flag in the film.
Are we going back to the troubles?
I live in a multicultural society which celebrates the many ethnic origins of all its citizens. As the guys said, it doesn't dilute your culture, it enhances it. The worst that ever happened to me was multicultural indigestion from stuffing myself with foods from all corners of the earth on the occasion of a multicultural festival.
"it enhances it" does it? When your entire culture was built upon Christianity and Paganism, and the newly brought "culture" that are supposed to be mix are constantly trying to kill the original, homeland culture - is it enhancement? Or is it soft conquering?
so Palestine for the Palestinians, but Ireland is for everyone? bit confused there lads
Fun fact: NI is literally where the phrase “No cap” comes from.
Source?
Pretty sure no cap comes from aav
@@higuk999 aav is just bad english
@@wvvwwvwvvI'm a linguist and no. BBE (Black British English) is a dialect of English that has its roots in Patois and other languages from the Carribbean and africa
The empire is placing an army across Ireland, UK and Europe.. Do not be confused with the welcome we give to migration and integration of other peoples.. This plays into the hands of the "empire"
Could not have clicked on a Politics Joe video more quickly, these guys are amazing. Would highly recommend seeing their movie as well, one of my favorites of this year
I vote for the KNEECAP party 💚 More sense in this half-hour video than 100+years of crappy British Government.
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
The reparation nonsense is ridiculous and I’m saying that as a catholic from NI. It’s almost disrespectful.
They are joking ffs 🤦
@@JonnyEarthling and? Why does that matter?
@@VectorTrackeryou're an Irishman in the occupied counties.... the focus on religion is a smokescreen to the actual struggle of identity on an Irish island..
@@Eireannach23 the smokescreen is the actual struggle. With the GFA we can be who we want.
@@VectorTracker fine, anyone in the occupied counties can identity as they wish, but does not change the fact that everyone on the island of Ireland can identity as Irish, but not everyone can identity as British.... everyone is entitled to an Irish passport, but not everyone is entitled to a British one... and for good reason = it's an Irish island from top to bottom.
No amount of Planters will change that... greetings from Dublin ☘🇮🇪💚.
Can't wait to see the boys again!
Roll on November!!!
Got the hotel and everything in Manchester booked since months ago!!
It's so nice watching the lads grow over the last few years and now they're blowing up internationally it's amazing, I'm proud of them - the whole of Ireland is proud of Kneecap.
I even bumped into the lads at Busáras (main bus depot in the Republic in Summer(ish) 2020, they were the same down to earth and friendly dudes you see in all the videos and interviews - these guys are *REAL ONES*
The lads asked me for a fag and I made them take my last roll-up, just so I can say I gave Kneecap my last fag. - Got a cool photo with Moglai Bap and Mo Chara too, DJ Provai was hiding his face and disappeared as soon as I said hello.
I tried speaking Irish with them too, but I was rusty AF and couldn't understand some basic things they were saying, but since then, thanks to Kneecap I've been inspired to practice and I'm on a much better level now.
If the lads ever see this, I want them to know how important they are, they are literally The Irish Language Renaissance
Good interview, great movie! 🇮🇪💪☘️💣
These young men talk more sense than any intellectual or politician xx
The more culture we have the stronger it’ll make us all? No the more Ireland you have the more Ireland will be strong. It’s your culture that’s being demolished and you think there’s something wrong with chips. Come back and say the same in 10 years buddy.
@@peterwalsh5068 spot on
Now say that in Gaeilge, Petey. Put your money where your mouth is or admit you don’t actually give that much of a shit about your culture.
As a Scotsmen wh grew up in England all my friends from dundalk and armagh wish I knew the language get the sentiment
Irish government is no different
