Kneecap's vocal support for Hamas and call for fans to murder Tory MPs is obviously reprehensible. But it's just for show, says Andrew Doyle. The police shouldn't waste their time investigating rappers.

Galway SWP condemn Kevin Higgins poem

category international | miscellaneous | other press author Friday July 11, 2008 00:25author by Andrei Zhdanov Report this post to the editors

Galway Branch of the Socialist Workers Party have strongly condemned a poem by Kevin Higgins.

The poem, ‘Firewood’, was apparently a response to an article in Socialist Worker about the crisis in Darfur.

Read Galway Socialist Workers Party’s letter to the editor of The Galway Advertiser at
http://www.galwayadvertiser.ie/content/index.php?aid=11358

Read the article their letter is in response to at
http://www.galwayadvertiser.ie/content/index.php?aid=11220

for more, including a recent 'Red Banner' magazine review of the book the poem appears in at http://www.salmonpoetry.com/timegentlemen.html

The book is, word has it, causing much weeping and gnashing of teeth on parts of the Galway left.
