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:

Very depressing news indeed.
Firstly,M should have played the gigs and not given in.Poor show.

Secondly, I am sick to the back teeth of the intolerance of the left to allow other points of view.
What has happened to reasoned debate and argument?

These witch hunts (be it for "sexual harassment" or "racism")
are a VERY bad thing.

Sad day.

Witch hunts? WTf, what are you gonna say next no collusion?

I hope it takes less for you to realize that you are supporting a racist, good luck.

because I said that you have posted 20 times in eleven years ,I have heard of lurking before but come on.on average you will put something on here every 200 days but today you have 3 messages in one day,think this proves you only post when the agenda suits you.

There would have been even more empty spaces then. There were at least 300 seats available as well as standing tickets on Ticketmasters site on the day the dates were pulled.

Yes, a witch hunt, educate yourself and watch this.

I post because I am furious, for twenty years I adored and followed him around the world, and I believed him when he said he wasn’t racist and I didn’t believe the NME when they accused him years back . I have earn the right to post whatever I want.

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.

Its another Skinny sock puppet, there variations of the Skinny Sock Puppet. Some act outraged some post
as hysterical librarians. "Surface" is what Stalin would call, the "useful idiot" sock puppet. They suddenly appear out of nowhere, most are "Jame" and "New Order" fans, two SUCKO bands.

I think everybody here would now agree that For Britain is the way you should vote, do the peeps at
For Britain come here and attack and demoralize anyone that doesnt agree with them? Its the Pollo
Commies that want to run your life. They refuse to work but want to run everybody life.

Moz like always was one step ahead of the curve.

Agreed and if anyone on the site is going to the The Music Against Racism day would love to meet and greet, should be a great afternoon stroke night for all. Can you confirm cocktails half price as expecting the great social day out thanks.

First point as an animal lover he is asking the ? yes it is horrific and yes why need to mutilate so many animals for ones appetite. Halal again not grossly worse that how we kill cows, chickens or any other meat produce however if he believes in animals, who is right him us or what I don't know, still have never saw anything racist he slags KFC and MCDONALDS nobody bats any eyelid as soon as others are mentioned he is Racist hmmm

He is right about cruelty to animals but he wrong to condemn an entire country/race for it.

Correct, however would you agree then that animal rights in his terms are what he believes strongly in, so does that then mean he is Racist

 

[URBANUS]

Skinny and his happy days and I love my life tune has sure changed. I suspect divorce is behind him moving and all, that is at least his excuse for his desperate white flight away from Bradford.
Cooking meth in a trailer out in the spinach is the only way forward now.

This is the kind of guy he is.
I want to know WHY he did this.
But he never responds.
Pompous arrogant sneak.

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.

 

[URBANUS]

You are so ethnocentric that you don't realize he or she may not be an english native speaker. I would like to see the way you write and -mainly- the way you transmit your ideas in other languages. Then you'll notice how difficult it is, especially when you are in front of prejudiced idiots.

Why did we ever fall out?
You've changed a lot along with a few other people on this forum.
