Morrissey wears a far right political party pin on "Fallon"

Last night (May 13), Morrissey played his cover of Jobriath's Morning Starship on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon". During the performance, he wore a lapel pin representing the logo of the British movement, the British movement The Britain party founded by Anne Marie Waters, anti-Islam activist. He has also been criticized for having worn the pin at recent concerts. (The For Britain movement thanked Morrissey for supporting her website.) Pitchfork solicited Morrissey and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon for feedback.

Morrissey has vocally supported For For Britain in the past. In an interview in 2018, he said, "I am a new party called For Britain, led by Anne Marie Waters. This is the first time in my life that I will vote for a political party. Finally I have hope. I find that the constant change of Conservative-Labor-Conservative-Labor is useless. Britain did not receive any support from the media and was even fired under the usual "racist" child's charge. I do not think the word "racist" makes more sense, if it does not mean that you disagree with me, so you're racist. People can be totally stupid. "

On May 24, Morrissey will release his new record of covers Son of California, which offers collaborations with Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, etc. Ariel Engle of Broken Social Scene, who was invited to the album, said she was not aware of Morrissey's political views when she agreed to sing on the same album. "The incendiary things that he says are not my policy. I think it's completely offline, "she said. "I feel like I've been, but it's my fault."
