John Farnham has told racist group Reclaim Australia that they are not to use ‘You’re The Voice’ at their hater rallies.
In a statement to the Herald-Sun, Farnham manager Glenn Wheatley made the point crystal clear. “John and I seriously oppose the use of John’s song at the rallies,” Wheatley said. “It no way reflects our support in any way. There are other means to conduct protests. Just don’t use our song or Jimmy Barnes’ or Lee Kernaghans’.”
The Farnham slapdown of Reclaim Australia comes a day after Jimmy Barnes ordered the anti-Islam group to stop using the Cold Chisel song ‘Khe Sanh’. “Australia needs to stand up for Love and Tolerance in these modern times,” he wrote. “None of these people represent me and I do not support them.”
Reclaim Australia supporters responded to the Barnes statement spewing abuse.
John Taylor Jimmy Barns, you are an idiot. Open your eyes JIMMY and look around. Have you not seen what is going on around you. muslims want to take over any country they are in. Look at England, USA, and Australia. Do you want your kids to grow up in a country that is all muslim.
Scott Fogarty My reply to Barnesy, So Barnesy is against equal rights for women, Barnesy condones Paedophilia, Barnesy is against equal rights for gay and lesbians, Barnesy Condones the execution of homosexuals, Barnesy condones female genital mutilation, Barnesy condones the beheading and persecution of thousands of Christians, Jews and Muslims at the hands of ISIS. WELL DONE BARNESY, Maybe you should educate yourself on what it is that Reclaim represent. Barnsey you have just jumped on the BandWagon with all the other denialists with their heads burried in the sand!
Reenie Walton Get your facts right, Jimmy Barnes, before spouting ignorant untrue comments. Islam is NOT a race. There are people from all nationalities and colours in Islam. Therefore Reclaim Australia is not a racist organisation. Also, Reclaim Australia has supporters from all nationalities and colours. Once again, Jimmy Barnes, get your facts right and don’t jump on the politically correct bandwagon.
