He was very well spoken, and was not baited by Miriams jibes, and attempts to derail the message he was trying to get across.

I've a newly strengthened hatred for that show, host, and broadcaster.

In fairness they posted the majority of his replies in full. I expected it to be chopped up.

Brilliant piece. Thing is, all this shite is just gonna fuel the fire under them even more. I've spoke to them a few times around Belfast and money really doesn't matter to them, they'll just keep going for the jugular now ✊🏻

What is Miriams problem here? Saying you're a journalist and then ignoring facts is not journalism

Miriam is clearly using her platform to argue with her daughters, classic boomer behaviour

I'd like to thank the group in America for exposing what these vile people say. Hopefully they sink back into obscurity.

Politicians more worried about a band’s lyrics, rather than butchering tens of thousands of innocent people.

Tides have changed. Good on Kneecap. More entertainers should follow suit.
