Irish rap group Kneecap defeats British Government after 'illegal' attempt to 'silence them'

The Irish rap group Kneecap has successfully challenged the British government's attempt to block their funding, which was deemed an illegal move to silence them. The group, known for their politically charged lyrics and criticism of the UK government, had their £15,000 grant from the Music Export Growth Scheme (MEGS) revoked by the Department for Business and Trade. However, a High Court judge ruled that this decision was unlawful, irrational, and procedurally unfair. The court found that the government's actions were motivated by the group's political views and their planned tour in the US, which was seen as an attempt to suppress their freedom of expression. The ruling marks a significant victory for Kneecap, highlighting issues of censorship and the right to artistic freedom.
