All UK/European gigs postponed due to "logistical circumstances beyond our control" - management

As I mentioned earlier today, this has now come to pass.

'Logistical issues'.

And that's the sound of defeat. f*** off and organise some more gig parties in Amsterdam. Do you still do that? Does it earn money for you?

Skinny any chance of supporting this Racism gig as this Scottish twat will appear to have a conversation on me being a RACIST and Nazi

 

[Thewlis]

We're not all as money-obsessed as you are, you scumbag fascist.
Hunt some more racists down will you. They are out on the streets, now!
Check the backyard.

The Right are very happy to have Free Speech, except when it questions their bullshit racism, then they start crying about victimization. Every single time.

I totally agree they like to call out shit and accuse people of shit but when people stand up and clap back and they fold like a Bitch they play the victim, which are typical signs of a bully that get they’re ass handed to them.

I think Dave's miscalculated here, he was expecting to put Morrissey in the direct line of fire, but Moz has pulled the plug,...Oh Dear...., So who's in the firing line now, big bad Dave himself, genuine guy mind,...Ex Hacienda DJ,

 

[reelfountain]

Campaign? What campaign? He said all that shit with his own mouth. He did it first. Who else do you think is to blame when thousands turn away, disgusted?

The people you so religiously defend would gang rape your sister then gleefully chop you up with machetes and put you in a kebab.

Then walk away laughing.

Remember that.

That's how appreciative they are of people like you, whiteboy.

Just imagine if our man instead of beating Muslims over the head decided to promote positive things like this: https://veganmuslims.com/ instead of deciding to promote a bunch of c***s.

People generally respond better to positivity, if only he'd realize. Maybe the latest outcome will give him something to think about.

OMG Skinny will state your a RACIST for opening your eyes to whats happening in the UK. However might be a NAZI all he can say

I'm afraid this will simply further entrench his views. It would be lovely to think that he might make a contrite statement, perhaps blame some 'tablets' he was taking, spend a couple of weeks doing volunteer work in a Gazan refugee camp and just generally atone for himself. But on previous experience, that's not very likely, is it?

Music sells, thickhead. Not political ideas. He's a pop musician. Are you braindead?

Seriously look forward to a fantastic weekend

Several points here.

1) This 'Free Speech' character is obviously a bear of very little brain. We should not mock.
2) Ritual slaughter is barbaric, but so is what goes on behind every slaughterhouse door every second of every day. No difference.
3) Condemning a belief system for how they kill animals is rank hypocrisy, if you eat meat at all.

Brain-dean racist scumbags, coming on here, thinking they can talk some degree of sense when they don't even have half a brain-cell to rub together.

I have one point for you.

1) Morrissey has reached and affected more people on any random day than you will in your entire life.

Once you know the truth you never apologise.

Morissey's free expression is only just beginning. And I for one am loving it.

Unfortunately not.

Political ideas tend not to sell, at least completely negative ones. Hence his current problems.

Sad-assed times in the World of Morrissey. Looks like the campaign against him has worked, at least in the UK (exactly how many "I used to love Morrissey, but..." articles have there been?) It is his own fault. Narrow-minded, insensitive comments are adding up. With an Israel stance I don't accept. But, and it's an important but, Morrissey is not a "racist". Morrissey believing whites are superior to other races. Really? Are ya sure?

You do know what the term "racist" actually means, right? Just because someone doesn't come out and say "I don't like black people" doesn't mean that they don't hold racist views. It's not only about white people thinking they are superior to other races, it's far more complex than that and you know this. You know that he is an Islamaphobe, a xenophobe, and supports a far-right, anti-immigration party that consists of ex-National Front and BNP members as well as flat out holocaust-deniers. So you tell me how that is any different? If it walks like a duck....

Your calling him a fascist but you say he should hunt down racists? Do you know what fascist is? Being a fascist is being a far right wing nationalistic, meaning they don’t want any impurity of there country.

As you are clearly a racist then I expect you are happy with our believing Morrissey to be one also?

I know one thing, if you want to radicalize young Muslims the best way to do it is to keep attacking them.

If you want inclusion the best way to do it is with kindness.

This doesn't give anyone a free pass for dispicable behaviour, it's just the only way to move forward unless you want to be stuck forever in a literally vicious circle.

Oh, if only he was "Ambien-tweeting," but alas, he is just a political moron and embarrassment.
