According to a blog post from Das Racist today, the trio were detained at British customs and then "On Her Majesty's Service" got their asses deported. They dished out the details on their customs adventure in their post:
Yesterday, because of some sticklerism on the part of UK Customs regarding paperwork, we were denied entry, detained for 8+ hours in the airport, and deported back to Switzerland.
We were held in a room with books, prayer rug and compass, television and remote, and these horrible sandwiches (cheese and onion, egg and cress, etc.). Also, “digestive biscuits’ along with Walker’s crisps (Salt & Vinegar, Salt).
We were there with two Iranian men, a Brazilian woman who spoke only Arabic and an Indian man with a student visa who couldn’t speak a lick of English. Our people!
Sorry to everybody who was planning on coming to Cargo last night, it was a show and city we were all incredibly excited for and it was a shame yr govvy doesn’t like us! Because of our POLITICAL VIEWS! We’ll be back soon, maybe we’ll leave the airport next time.
Course, it's not entirely clear why they were deported given facts provided, but take comfort that they are still playing the remaining of their European shows before heading to the U.S. in January. Also, I felt that "Hahahaha Jk?" was an appropriate Das Racist track for this post, so check it out above and download for keeps below.
