Posters promoting Morrissey's latest album have been removed from Merseyrail stations in Liverpool after a commuter complained. Morrissey has previously expressed support for the far-right For Britain party and earlier this month wore a badge with its logo on during a TV show, but he denies he is a racist, Liverpool Echo reports. Earlier this week, the world's oldest record shop, Spillers Records in Cardiff, stopped selling Morrissey albums. Morrissey has responded to the criticism in a strange post: "In these days when most people are afraid to even whisper, the print media write as if someone is coming to get them. This aching nervousness brings on the vengeful and paranoid. Inventing Britain’s doomsday is the preoccupation of the tabloids, and they can hate you for having lived".
