Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock slams King’s coronation and calls England a ‘fascist nightmare’ in brutal message
LITTLE Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock has slammed the King’s coronation, called England a “fascist nightmare.”
The 31-year-old singer shared a brutal message with her millions of followers, which read: “Dear rest of the world.
“Don’t be fooled by any propaganda you see coming out of the UK this weekend. The mood here is not jubilant, it is sour.
“England is a fascist nightmare, where there are more food banks than branches of McDonalds.”
Leigh-Anne continued: “We don’t want pageantry, we want affordable food, and rent, and bills.
“The timing of this coronation, with all its gold and bejewelled opulence, couldn’t be more distasteful and sickening.
“It’s unjustifiable and it’s unwanted. If we’re asking God to save anyone it should be the 14.4million people living in poverty, not the King.”
It comes as a number of celebrities snubbed the coronation, and the chance to perform this weekend.
Elton John, the Spice Girls and Harry Styles had all been invited but are unable to make time in their crazy-busy schedules.
Ed Sheeran, Adele and Robbie Williams also bailed.
A source told The Sun: “Organisers are working against the clock to pull together an exciting line-up but have hit a series of challenges.
“Elton John was top of Charles’ list but due to his European tour, which sees him performing in Germany the Friday before then again soon after the Windsor concert, he isn’t able to make the dash to the UK work.
“Meanwhile, man-of-the-moment Harry Styles is also tied up with touring and unable to get key band members together as they’ll be on much-needed downtime.”
The much-anticipated Spice Girls reunion is off, too, as rehearsal time is not possible given the chock-full calendars of Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham.
But there will be a string of very famous faces still there to perform on the big day, including Olly Murs, Lionel Richie, Take That and Andrea Bocelli and Sir Bryn Terfel, who will perform a duet for the concert.
