The music icon, who has previously been a vocal critic of the Tory Government, hit out at the Prime Minister in an impassioned Twitter post.
Prime minister has caused “immense distress and suffering” to UK-based Europeans, Yorke says
— Thom Yorke (@thomyorke) February 8, 2019
Nobody voted for you to bring into question the lives of millions of Europeans as a bargaining tool, causing immense distress and suffering, an action worthy of the early days of the third reich.”
He added: “Nobody voted for you to drive this red bus over a cliff with the passengers screaming in the back. None of this has been a expression of the democracy you have been claiming to uphold. Fear is not a weapon to be used by a UK Prime Minister in the 21st Century. Stop the bus…now.”
Yorke’s latest comments after he previously accused the Tory government of treating British citizens like “lemmings running off a cliff.”
“In the Orwell novel, it’s like the whole point is it doesn’t matter. The language you’ve grown up with to express how you see the world has been taken away from you and turned into a theatre of the absurd. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter.”
