Northern Ireland health minister criticises Van Morrison anti-lockdown songs

Northern Ireland health minister Robin Swann has criticised Van Morrison, after the veteran songwriterIn the forthcoming song No More Lockdown, Belfast-born Morrison sings of “Imperial College scientists making up crooked facts.” He adds: “No more lockdown / No more government overreach / No more fascist bullies / Disturbing our peace … Pretending it’s for our safety / When it’s really to enslave.

I was a big Van fan sine the 70's, but I lost all respect when he prohibited us from dancing at his last concert in Madrid. A lockdown on dancing?

Singing is a form of expression just cos you like the music dosnt mean you do what’s in the music

I won’t be buying them.

Of course those seekingto subvert the rightsof others,will criticize those,whostand againstsuch tyranny.Often,weare silenced,even tothe point of being killed. MeanwhileThose inpower,usea pandemic,and psychological warfare tosubvert citizens rights.All inthe guiseof public safety.

Sometimes you wonder why certain people want their legacy to include saying recklessly and dangerously stupid things in the middle of a pandemic.

He has an ‘individual opinion’. Why is this a problem for the mainstream?

Van is just a working class lad with a wonderful voice. He is a singer.... and that’s where it ends...

He makes me worry that I’ll get stupider as I get older.

Kudos to Van. What a legend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A big fan of Van and off to see him at one of the socially distanced gigs on Thursday at the London Palladium. Makes me wonder whether to go or not to be honest.
