I read on Terra - a prominent brazilian internet website - that Mr. Morrissey mentioned Jean Charles de Menezes murder during one of his shows.
Morrissey homenageia Jean Charles em show no Reino Unido
I would like to thank the artist, as well as the entire staff of this tour for this pertinent homage. I visited London two years ago and could notice some remarkable aspects of its culture: despite the moral discomfort found in any metropolitan area, we can see how Englishmen can still extend attention and solidarity to foreing people.
Living in Rio de Janeiro and working with less-income populations from Brazil, I certainly experience this discomfort on another scale. State/Government violence is one of many daily aspects we have to deal with.
This is why I recognize the importance of Mr. Morrissey political act: no matter where you are, life is a moral value which will always have to be defended.
