@ConorFurlong I very much support freedom of movement but with basic common sense vetting at the borders so criminals don’t get in.

First look at my new album Blind Faith. It gets released into the world on Sept 27th. I wanted to make a cover for Vinyl, CD and tape that was a piece of art in itself. I’m over the moon with how it turned out. 🙏 You can now pre-order through my official store, link in bio. x

@ConorFurlong A deviant, sexual crime. No. They should not be allowed to freely walk into another country without at least having the authorities notified about their past crimes. Then it is a case by case basis. But no such vetting exists so criminals with time served or not can live here
