Merseyrail says the advertising 'does not reflect the organisation’s values' after a passenger said the posters were offensive.

He also spoke in support of Tommy Robinson after the far-right activist was jailed for contempt of court last summer, calling his treatment"shocking".

The former Smiths frontman reportedly told the crowd that Scotland's First Minister's "hands will be in anybody's pockets" But the world's oldest record store, Spillers Records in Cardiff, refused to stock the album due to Morrissey's support for For Britain.

What makes it worse is that he's the son of Irish immigrants, of whom were amoungst those who would have been targeted by the very same people he now supports.

Wow so because his political views are different 'he doesn't support the left',he isn't allowed to promote his Album unreal!! what's this world coming too.

Catchthewind7 Far right 😂😂😂

I can see Morrissey's new album going platinum giving the publicity it's getting, well done Morrisey 👏👏👏

Far left calling anyone far right who has a different opinion

Why is far right wrong ? But far left ok ?

Unbelievable, they’ll be burning books and works of art next

Love Morrissey

this countrys people are so quick to betray its heritage and those who stand up to maintain it. It's pathetic.

Merseyrail will need a new department to check the political views of anyone linked to anything they advertise in future. They’ll be busy.....

Not going to stop listening to the Smiths because Islam doesn’t like criticism. Calling everything you disagree with “far right” is bloody daft too.

Another step closer to the totalitarianism of the left.

Poignantly melancholic bout The Smiths. Also, fuck Morrissey

ANYONE now is ‘far right’ if they don’t subscribe to the Marxist trade unions or choose to buy loafs for the DUCKS rather put them in a food bank...

It's getting pathetic now...... Socialism is the very cancer of this country.... everything will be bleak and grey under communist rule... Time to stop these arseholes ruining our culture & way of life.

Every one is entitled to an opinion, unless its differs from their own?

He's hardly far right ffs, there's some snowflakes bastards about.

Ridiculous. Freedom of speech as long as everyone else agrees?

Not like the people of Merseyside to be outraged over Jack shit

Surely by this rule Tim Farron should have been banned from politics years ago for his views on homosexuals.

Does freedom of speech not have a place now in society - are we becoming a totalitarian state where you can only utter certain words that society believe conform with “their” values and opinions. Shocking Merseyrail - hang your head in shame.

Anne Marie Waters is NOT far right 🙄

Tom49450648 Draconian!🤦🏼‍♀️

FAR RIGHT. Yes, how dare this Brit voice concerns over immigration. How dare he not acquiesce to his own ethnic extermination.

For Britain is a politically centrist party. You have called them far right for a combination of two reasons. 1. You are not very intelligent people and you simply pretend to be journalists by perpetuating bigotry and hatred. 2. You are extremists and to you the centre is right.

Who do you expect him to support.corbyn.concervatives.youve go my support morrisey

Who cares? The only reason you'd take a train there is because some scooter has nicked the wheels off your car.

Ridiculous

What do you mean by ‘far right’? Please explain

and they have the audacity to say he is a facist. Surely this tearing down posters, blocking free speech under the pretext of racism, blocking people on social media, demanding another vote this is facisism. The Alt Left and Anifa is facisim. hypocrites

He supports For Britain - anti-islam, anti-immigration, anti-europe with links to neo-nazis. And yet on his blog calls Muslims his friends. This is confused nonsense. His true voice is found in his music. Hate it when artists get political.

7815PWK How are For Britain a far right party, when their leader is a feminist lesbian who opposes Islam because of its horrendous record on gender and orientation equality?

Is disagreeing with a far-right religion, far-right? Since when?

No one can be left or right now, it’s just far left and far right for the easily offended.

Interesting that the posters say nothing about his political views yet people are complaining cos they don’t agree with him. I don’t support Jeremy Corbyn because of his extreme anti America, pro Iranian views either, so can we get everything he publishes taken down?

Welcome to Liverpool the permanently offended calm down calm down

This is because of ONE complaint..Unbelievable 😫

Left Wing Corbyn Lovers that's who is desiding the City Region policy on Merseyside, shameful act to one the greatest singer songwriters this country has produced, ban All advertising because some people get offended at everything

So hes wrong for supporting the far right, who should he be supporting The milkshake throwers or the muslims throwing bricks!

More fascism from the left 🙄 just keep digging it's all coming to an end for you lot soon...we will vote you all out!

Or maybe, just maybe they’d been up for a fortnight and were due to be replaced by posters for Solero’s since it’s practically Summer.

So what if the prick is offended? Since when is being offended criminal, or being offensive a criminal act. Jaysus but we have snowflakes everywhere these days! So frustrating.

Offended by everything, Ashamed of nothing.

The only reason he’s classed as far right is because the liberals and left have all moved to the far left! We live in clown world!

Or, in more honest terms: Morrissey de-personed for expression of wrongthink.

Censoring political thought. Pathetic

Oh come on he wrote a song called ‘the national front disco’ your competing with the sun now for piss poor journalism 🧐

The way this article is written is awful. Basically making him out to be some modern day Hitler 😂 Sky is awful, the media is awful, the left is awful, love you Steven lad

'Far-right'...

merseyrail removing adverts because of someone's political beliefs (however dispicable), is itself a form of fascism (or communism). Suppressing freedom of speech is an expression of an extremist organisation.

'he's racist' 'no he's not' 'OK, well he's pseudo racist' .... This should have just been met with laughter.

He is far right compared to the extreme left.

The right on Lefty’s! They demand tolerance but practice intolerance!

Didn't think this useless has-been could be a bigger twat than he already was...seems I was wrong...

Get a life

bobpitt4 Ridiculous bollocks....

The angry commuter should come to the south east where Se_Railway and Chris Grayling implement a fuckthecommuter policy. Here they wouldn't give a toss if you were offended in the least, they don't even care that they charge £32 a day to stand into London. standingrailways

Panic on the streets of Liverpool I wonder to myself Could life ever be sane again? …

How very democratic. Just sums up the intolerance of the left

Pathetic!!

Merseyrail lol an institute of deep thinkers !

DaftLimmy

Lol the left wing fascist at it again

Is he truly far right or just someone who stands up for democracy?

Typical left they don't say or do anything wrong

Fascists.

The angry left confusing common sense with the far right again

One of Britain's great artists.

Can't wait till DaftLimmy said he's met him.

Didn’t know he had posters up.... but do now, thanks for mentioning this Brexit

Everything looks far right from the extreme left!

Bandwagon

What the hell is going on in this nation of ours, we all must think one way there’s more freedom in China ffs

There we go again far right never hear of far left.

Who would have thought Merseyrail would have known Morrissey's views on politics. Who would have thought that Merseyrail would have known about Morrissey.

Chris_Horner1 Good job those complaining in the comments weren't around in the 30s, otherwise Hitler's job would have been a whole lot easier with all these far right supporters already groomed

Panic

FreeMorrissey

Always was a god

If u don't agree with us you have no right to be heard!

Bullshit.... Lefties just don't agree with what he thinks, that's how they roll.

Very talented guy but needs slapped around the head with an extra large Sirloin.

So you mean he voted Brexit
