How Kneecap and Bob Vylan Remind Us Colonizers Recognize Colonizers

The Lasting Impact of British Colonialism in Ireland and the Hypocrisy of the British Justice System

We discuss the history of British colonialism in Ireland, including the suppression of the Irish language and the exacerbation of the Great Famine. We also examine the case of Makara, who waved a Hezbollah flag at a concert in London, and how the British court system struggled to accommodate his request to speak in Irish, unlike their treatment of the Irish in the past. Additionally, we discuss the fallout from a recent Glastonbury concert, where Bob Villum was dropped by their agency and had their visas revoked. We explore the idea that the British have a tendency to ignore or downplay their colonial history, unlike Germany's approach to acknowledging its past.
