I have no idea what's going on with Ben Aaronovitch. I assumed he suddenly decided the book needed seven months worth of revisions, and threw a fit at Gollancz until they agreed to push back the release date until June. I must say, though, I like your hypothesis better, that he's frantically scrubbing out the really defamatory stuff. It's much more exciting than my hypothesis.
The good news, though, is that June 2016 is a worldwide publication date, so I can pre-order it on iBooks or Kindle and read the book on my device as soon as it comes out. With the last few, they've had North American release dates four months or so after the UK release date. So I've had to buy a hard copy and have it shipped, or rope in Uncle #1, who doesn't understand the first thing about urban fantasy, but understands all about wanting to read a book RIGHT NOW.
