00:00So, you may have seen Makara was in the courts, in Westminster courts, this month.

00:10Was anybody outside it that day?

00:14That actually checks out.

00:16I thought you were all going to fucking start spoofing.

00:24Makara's back in court for a trumped-up terrorism charge.

00:30Just me?

00:36Aye, you've time yet.

00:38It's not the first time there was a miscarriage of justice for an Irish person in the British justice system.

00:51So, if anybody's available on the 20th of August at Westminster, we'll go to Fort Makara.

00:58We'll start a riot outside the courts.

01:02Oh fuck, you capers are going to love that.

01:05That's for the Daily Mail.

01:07Fuck the Daily Mail!

01:08That's a new one.

01:21That's a new tune.

01:23It's about our feelings.

01:24It's about our feelings.

01:25Also, I have to make a disclaimer.

01:29When we go to support Makara at the court case, I don't want anybody to start a riot.

01:35No riots.

01:36Just love and support.

01:38And more importantly, support.

01:41Riots.

01:41Support for Palestine, because that's what it's all about.

01:46I think that's probably as good a time as any.

01:51To remember, yeah, fucking this situation can be quite fucking stressful for us at times.

01:55But the stress that we're feeling is minimal compared to what the Palestinian people are going through every fucking day.

02:05We're from West Belfast, a place still under British occupation.

02:09And Derry.

02:11So we understand colonialism.
