Daughter of Murdered MP Demands Apology from Kneecap

Katie Amess, daughter of murdered UK Conservative MP Sir David Amess, has publicly called for an apology from the rap group Kneecap after footage emerged from a 2023 gig allegedly showing a member calling for the death of Conservative MPs and urging the killing of local MPs. Amess described the remarks as 'dangerous, violent rhetoric' and emphasized the potential risk that such language could incite others to violence, referencing her own family's loss. The Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism unit is currently assessing the footage to determine if further investigation is needed. Additional videos from Kneecap performances, including ones allegedly expressing support for banned groups Hamas and Hezbollah, are also under review by authorities. Kneecap has responded on social media, claiming they are the target of a 'co-ordinated smear campaign.' The incident has reignited concerns in the UK over political intimidation and the safety of public officials.
