Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock has shared a brutal message hitting out at King Charles’s coronation.
The 31-year-old singer reposted a message that’s circulating on Instagram that branded England “a fascist nightmare.”
“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.”
The post – which was shared by Leigh-Anne but not written by her – continued: “We don’t want pageantry, we want affordable food, and rent, and bills.
“The timing of this coronation, with all its gold and bejeweled 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 14.4 million 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: “Organizers 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.”
