The leader of the right-wing For Britain political party has shared a video, thanking Morrissey for his support of their cause.
Early in 2018, the political enigma that is Morrissey published a bizarre interview on his website which saw him identifying with far-right politics.
Noting how he associates himself with the For Britain political party – a far-right party created by Anne Marie Waters. Morrissey also went on to criticise the “loony left”, mentioning how they seem to forget “Hitler was left wing.”
However, the singer’s political leanings were largely forgotten until last week when Morrissey appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon wearing a pin that supports the party, having been seen wearing the same pin during his New York residency.
Now, as Stereogum reports, For Britain leader Anne Marie Waters has filmed a video in which she is seen praising both Morrissey for the attention he has brought the party.
“Thank you so much for your support since the UKIP leadership election,” Anne Marie Waters said in the video. “Thank you for giving us so much publicity.”
“I can tell you that the traffic to our website exploded with the story breaking of you wearing the For Britain button badge, which you have been wearing everywhere from what I can see, so thank you very much for that.”
“We have sold out of those, but the good news is we have more, and they have been selling like hot cakes, so thank you very much for doing that.”
“Thank you also to the Daily Mail for your hysterical coverage of this. It’s brought loads of people to the party,” she continued. “We’ve grown in membership, products have been selling, and website traffic is huge.”
“Thank you, Morrissey. I hope to meet you one day. Thank you, Daily Mail. Keep up the hysterical smearing. It’s having the opposite effect. You are driving people to us. Thanks.”
