BONO has waded into the European Union debate by telling US politicians they should be "be worried" about Britain cutting ties with Brussels.
The U2 frontman yesterday urged members of Congress to confront an "existential threat" to Europe not since since the 1940s.
He claimed the continent faces a wave of "hyper-nationalism" before warning that Britons could vote to leave the EU on June 23.
The rock legend, best known for 1987 hit With and Without You, said: "This is unthinkable stuff. And you should be very nervous in America about it."
Bono also discussed the struggles of migrants fleeing their homes in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
Appearing before a Senate sub-committee, he said: "Of the top ten countries that are hosting refugees today, five of them are African.
"In Europe, the problem has moved from practical to existential. Let me soberly suggest to you that the integration of Europe, the very idea of European unity, is at risk here."
He added: "Europe is America's most important ally since the Second World War.
"Are we not your most important ally in the fight against violent extremism? This should really matter to you. I know it does.
"Put simply, as we Europeans have learned, if the Middle East catches fire, the flames jump any border controls. And if Africa fails, Europe cannot succeed.
And he bizarrely claimed extremist groups such as Islamic State could be defeated by comedians such as Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen.
He said: "It's like, you speak violence, you speak their language. But you laugh at them when they are goose-stepping down the street and it takes away their power.
"So I am suggesting that the Senate send in Amy Schumer and Chris Rock and Sacha Baron Cohen, thank you."
Bono is 2 letter short of a boner.
He is a little late. He must have been in a crack sleep?
They left anyway BOZO! BTW U2/Bono run a huge tax avoidance scheme administered out of Holland. Their U2 corporations are domiciled in Holland and pay closer to zero taxes. IOW this clown pays Ireland near zero in taxes.
Ireland was neutral in WWII. Ireland is not a member of NATO. Bono should stick to singing.
The correct title is “With or Without You”.
Apparently it is thinkable. It’s only unthinkable to those who don’t spend time with the unwashed.
It lines up with his “citizen of the world” nonsense, like his buddy Obama.
Well, if Bono says it was unthinkable, you know it was the right thing to do.
You can sum up everything you’re hearing from the NWO globalist supporters as either wahhhhhhh or blahblahblah
If Britain pulls out of the EU, and the £ falls well below current levels to the €, and American tech and pharmaceutical companies go to England instead of Ireland...that would be funny. Almost as funny as a Mick incorporating offshore and using the Dutch Sandwich technique to avoid confiscatory EU taxes.
It just goes to show, you can be both stupid and lucky.
Intentions are what matters.
Let us drop to our knees and be lead by a 60 year old rock singer that could never get the last drop of my piss out of his gay boot.
Huh?
He gives Ireland a bad name.
