Controversial singer makes comments on BBC 6 Music referring to Anne Marie Waters’ defeat in party elections
The singer made the comments during a live appearance on BBC 6 Music to promote his new album Low in High School.
Morrissey told the audience: “I was very surprised the other day – it was very interesting to me – to see Anne Marie Waters become the head of Ukip. Oh no, sorry she didn’t – the voting was rigged. Sorry, I forgot.”
Waters has been outspoken in her Islamophobia, calling the religion “evil”, and set up a far-right organisation, Pegida UK, with the former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson in 2016 to counter what it called “the Islamisation of our countries”. She was deselected from running in Ukip’s previous leadership election. Many Ukip members and MEPs threatened to leave the party if she was elected leader.
Fra The Guardian og det er jo defor, der står ‘controversial’.
