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."
The Brits call these types the "luvvies", the true believers in multiculti crap.
More often applied to extremely wealthy entertainers, sports personalities, businesspeople/politicians rich enough to not have to personally deal with the results of their policies.
Yeah, that'll work, you pompous bastard.
I’m all for dropping Amy Schumer into Mecca, but someone should warn that trot that muzzies don’t have much of a sense of humor.
Her problem here at home is that most of us do.
Bono is just another in the long line of “shut up and sing” musicians that we have to suffer through because the media thinks we actually care what he thinks.
No, not “shut up and sing”,...how about just “shut up”? I don’t need to listen to any of those fucks anymore.
Very good description of what a luvvy is. BTW Michael Cain was for Brexit.
Yeah don’t forget how he Expensed 98% of the $13Million dollars his CHARITY received. He belongs in PRISON with the Clintons.
