Lily Allen posted the following blog to fans on her Myspace on Monday (August 20):
Hello all
V Festival was great, thanks to everybody who came. I just want all my fans to know this, I have called George Bush a c**t at pretty much every show I have played over the past year, that is because I think he is one and I stand by that. You can make up your own mind as to whether you agree with me or not, that’s just how I feel. Just because I hate George Bush doesn’t mean I hate America, quite the opposite, I think the US is a great place and I am really sad that I can’t be there for my commitments scheduled for the near future. What I said about George Bush this weekend bears no relation to what happened a couple of weeks ago with my visa, that is an issue with the US Immigration Service. I just wanted to let you all know that my “foul mouthed tirade” so widely reported over the past couple of days is actually pretty rehearsed and I’ve been saying it long before all this visa issue.
Also me raising a drink to Amy, was just that, showing my support for her. I’ve been around enough substance abuse and alcoholism to know that it’s a serious matter, and not to be taken lightly.
I’m sorry, I wanted to write this because I felt like if I didn’t say anything you all might believe the rubbish your being fed.

I fine with the idea that Lily Allen hates me… signed George W Bush
no one cares what you think about George Bush. You aren’t even from America so keep your mouth shut and trash the leaders of your own country.
