Irish rap group Kneecap have reignited their public feud with Sharon Osbourne after she endorsed a rally organised by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson. The former X Factor judge signalled her support for the “Unite the Kingdom” rally, scheduled for 16 May in London, by commenting on Instagram: “See you at the march.”
Kneecap responded by reposting a Metro opinion piece headlined “Sharon Osbourne attending a Tommy Robinson march proves Kneecap were right about her”, adding the caption: “F*** @MrsSOsbourne [Sharon Osbourne].” The group’s political activism has previously drawn criticism from Osbourne, who called for their US work visas to be revoked after they projected “F*** Israel, free Palestine” during their 2025 Coachella performance.
Osbourne’s endorsement of Robinson also led youth homelessness charity Centrepoint to cut ties with her. A spokesperson said the charity has “no plans” to work with her in the future, adding: “Political activity like this runs counter to our values and our long history of supporting young people regardless of their background, religion or ethnicity.”
The “Unite the Kingdom” rally, organised by Robinson, is expected to draw large crowds. A previous protest in September attracted over 110,000 attendees, alongside a counter-demonstration, “March Against Fascism”, which drew more than 5,000 supporters, according to the BBC.
