Context
Irish rap group. The Evening Standard identifies the speaker as member Mo Chara. Footage surfaced in April 2025; counter-terrorism police investigated. The band said the clip was "deliberately taken out of all context." In June 2025 the Metropolitan Police said it would take no further action, partly because summary offences were past the time limit. MPs Jo Cox and Sir David Amess were murdered in 2016 and 2021.
Apology
Apr 2025: "To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt." Last checked Nov 10, 2026.
