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'.

From @gigsandtours / Twitter:

2) Ritual slaughter is barbaric, but so it 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.

1) Firstly not a bear or I do not think so, mock all you like who cares

Someone mentioned whether the band is getting fed up with all this and i can’t find it again to quote, but I’ve been thinking about that lately. Other than Boz, all the band comes from a country that has ICE doing regular raids on homes deporting Mexicans who are green card carrying American Citizens with minor infractions in an effort to impress the Right that something is being done about immigration. It’s a f***ing travesty and heartbreaking, creating fear amongst peaceful working communities. Anyone with a brain knows this practice is cruel and the extensive protests this weekend have proven the country is not going to sit back idly and see families and the country torn apart as a political leveraging tool. Isn’t immigration and border control the crux of the party Morrissey endorses in England? Don’t you think this would make it awkward for the Texicans in his band to just sit back and rationalize to their friends and families it’s just a paycheck from a boss?

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?

I have no idea if that's what the party endorses. From what I've heard they are anti-EU and anti-islam, but most of all anti-establishment and that's what attracts Morrissey most I would say. In the US election he supported Bernie Sanders for much the same (anti-establishment) reasons.

He is out of touch with reality. I suppose when you are a millionaire you maybe don't bother with research but a quick internet search tells you that the % of Chinese people who are vegetarian is higher than both the UK and the US. In China its estimated to be 4 to 5%, in the US its estimated at 3.2% and in the UK 2%.
