England lost indeed.
I know that Enlgand lost since visiting London in 2013 for the Hyde Park shows.
There were human beings walking around in black sacks while it was 35 degrees in the shade in the shopping area. Crazy.
Was my last visit to London/England.
Won't visit the 2018 UK Tour (if it happens)
Thank you.

First of all Mick Jagger is NOT off topic here on iorr, Mick is 100% ON topic...
The reason for my comment here is the racist comment in the start of this thread. The thread is clearly started in order to make hate and racist comments. I will not tolerate it.
People make excuses and tell me they were drunk when they posted something stupid or offending. Not acceptable. If you rape when you are drunk then you are still responsible for your actions. If you kill a person while driving in a drunken condition then you are still responsible. If you post racist comments then you do probably have a racist mindset, more or less.
I don't really care if racist comments are written in a sober or a drunk state of mind. There is a saying that you get honest comments from children and drunk people. So when you are drunk you say what is in your mind.
One survey I read recently (in Norway) stated that as many as 30% of all people were worried about immigrants, they did not trust them 100%. We have a lot of foreign workers in Norway, most of them are from Sweden, Denmark, Poland and so on. Still, those who make all the fuzz, all the hate comments, are those who have a different skin colour, dress code or religion.
I am not saying the world is perfect, and that all immigration and mix of different cultures is perfect and without challenges. Still, please do not bring your hate and/or worries about people who are different than you here into IORR. Most people work hard to survive and in order to take care of their closest family and friends.
If you wear an old looking 60's style red striped jacket on tours, or a Stones tattoo, or a large black dress because your family had that for hundreds of years, it is all the same, it's just a tradition, something people do. No reason to start hating other people just because they dress a certain way, or because they believe in something different that you do believe in.

I do agree that the subject is off key or OT as it's called here. And it may not be suitable on this forum. I do not agree that it's necessarily racist though.
It's just an observation of a phenomena the writer doesn't condone with. And he's not the only one. Even John Cleese said that London isn't England anymore. It's something else...

Racism is a horrible thing that has real consequences to millions of people around the world. It is unfortunate that the word had been dumbed down so that every comment someone doesn't like is called racist. To me, racism is an ancient scourge that persists. It is not a question of words bot oppression. The word has lost its meaning

Eddie- Racist and culturally intolerant saying people are dressed in "black bags". And saying because of this England is lost! We all know the intention behind this!

Most Muslim women don't wear niqabs. Not all Muslim women wear the hijab head covering, either. The choice of what they wear is determined by the sect of Islam that their family follows. There are Christian and Jewish people who wear different styles of dress if they follow more conservative versions of those religions, as well.
