UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has deemed Kneecap's Glastonbury performance inappropriate following a band member's court appearance on terror charges related to displaying a Hezbollah flag. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch echoed this sentiment, urging the BBC not to broadcast their set. The BBC responded that while they don't ban artists, their programming must adhere to editorial guidelines. Kneecap, who deny the charges, maintain their innocence and plan to perform as scheduled. The controversy has significantly increased the band's visibility.
