Manchester-born singer Morrissey on Tuesday went after British politicians for their responses to the deadly attack there Monday at an Ariana Grande concert.

In a Facebook post, the former Smiths frontman pointed to comments from British Prime Minister Theresa May.

"Theresa May says such attacks 'will not break us', but her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues," he wrote.

"Also, 'will not break us' means that the tragedy will not break her, or her policies on immigration."

Morrissey wrote that the young people of Manchester are "already broken."

He then targeted London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who said that the city stands united with Manchester after the "barbaric and sickening attack."

"But he does not condemn Islamic State — who have claimed responsibility for the bomb," Morrissey wrote.

"The Queen receives absurd praise for her 'strong words' against the attack, yet she does not cancel today's garden party at Buckingham Palace — for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press," his post continued.



"In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we all say in private. Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims. How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire. The people have no such protections."

Twenty-two people were killed and dozens more wounded on Monday night when a bomb went off just outside a concert venue in Manchester.

The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has claimed responsibility for the attack.
