Sorry, MAGAs. Your favorite genre is going down.
Per Alternet: "A landmark trial has concluded in London, England, with the conviction of a father and his two adult children for their roles in inciting racial hatred through neo‑Nazi music.
The Independent reported Thursday that 59-year-old Robert Talland, known as "Ginger Rob," along with his son Stephen, 36, and daughter Rosie, 33, were found guilty of conspiracy to incite racial hatred following a nine-week trial at Woolwich Crown Court.
...The case centers on a gig held at the Corpus Christi Club in Leeds in September 2019, organized by Robert Talland. There, his children — members of a band called Embers of an Empire — performed songs prosecutors say promoted racial hatred. CCTV footage captured audience members, including children, making Nazi salutes in response to lyrics such as: “Hope you’re ready to d**”, “Won’t stop until the last one hits the floor”, and “We’ll send them back in a box." ...Mark Gadsden argued: "The lyrics were metaphorical and not meant to be taken literally."
...Robert Talland was a prominent figure in the neo-Nazi network "Blood & Honour," a movement that spreads extremist currents through concerts and merchandise for "white power" rock bands.
This network is now subject to a U.K. government asset freeze, imposed on 8 January 2025. The freeze targets Blood & Honour and its aliases under domestic counter-terrorism sanctions-a first of its kind against a far-right extremist group."

What a shitty band name. A good band name should be only 1 or 2 words so it's easy to remember. Good for them being narrow minded idiots! LOL
