Lily Allen has been explaining the comments she made about George Bush and Amy Winehouse at V Festival.The cheeky singer has left a message for her fans on her blog saying that the comments were nothing she hasn't said before and had nothing to do with her recent troubles with getting a US working visa."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," she said. Lily Continued: "You can make up your own mind as to whether you agree with me or not , thats just how i feel . Just because i hate george bush doesnt mean I hate America, quite the opposite , I think the US is a great place and I am really sad that I cant 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."Lily also drank a toast to Amy Winehouse while on stage at the festival but she claims media reports saying she was mocking Amy had taken the comments out of context."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," she said.Caz Moss- Female First
