> Morrissey was an inspiration to Martin Rossiter, whose band Gene share many fans with the former Smith. But after years of right wing blethering from Moz, Martin has had enough
> Sadly but unsurprisingly, in his statement about the Manchester bombing Morrissey is guilty of dog whistle Islamaphobia.
> Morrissey advocates a cricket green England, an England where we tolerate immigration in small numbers, an England where it's exotic to have a 'brown' neighbour? If he believes that, he should have the nerve to say it rather than taking the gutless route and insinuating it.
Bengali, Bengali Bengali, Bengali No no no He does not want to depress you Oh no no no no no He only wants to impress you Oh...
Bengali in platforms He only wants to embrace your culture And to be your friend forever Forever
Bengali, Bengali Bengali, Bengali Oh, shelve your Western plans And understand That life is hard enough when you belong here
A silver-studded rim that glistens And an ankle-star that...blinds me A lemon sole so very high Which only reminds me; to tell you Break the news gently Break the news to him gently "Shelve your plans; shelve your plans, shelve them"
Bengali, Bengali It's the touchy march of time that binds you Don't blame me Don't hate me Just because I'm the one to tell you
That life is hard enough when you belong here That life is hard enough when you belong here Oh... Shelve your Western plans Oh... Shelve your Western plans 'Cause life is hard enough when you belong Life is hard enough when you belong here Oh... Shelve your Western plans Oh... Shelve your best friends 'Cause life is hard when you belong here Oh... Life is hard enough when you belong

"Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, England for Everyone!" people are the fucking worst

From the article:
*"If you walk through Knightsbridge on any bland day of the week you won't hear an English accent."
*Talking about the Jimmy Savile abuse investigation, saying: "2013 enlightenment can't be applied to dark and dim nights of 1972, otherwise every singer who ever slept with a 14-year-old would suddenly be behind bars – and that would take a lot of bars"
*To Q magazine he said he didn't "really think, for instance, black people and white people will ever really get on or like each other."
*He described the Chinese as a "sub-species"
*He has expressed his admiration for Nigel Farage and his divisive immigration policies.
*He claimed the BBC, were biased against Front National candidate Marine Le Pen in a TV debate stating "Last night Marine Le Pen easily won the French election debate. Today both the BBC and CNN say Macron won the debate. This is precisely why mainstream news media outlets cannot be trusted to tell the truth. Their private agendas are more important than facts, reality, or their duty to the people."
BASED BASED

TS Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound. Do you even Bowden?
Robert Morris
He's a fucking idiot this Martin fella.
The Smiths were always a reactionary band; they hate reggae and dub and black music of the 70s and 80s in general and wanted a return to jangly 50s guitar music.
Their entire aesthetic was one of old pre-mass immigration England.
How are people just realising this about Morrissey? It's been obvious from the beginning. God people are dumb.
Aiden Reed
I don't get why people are so surprised by Morrissey. It's no secret what his views are.
Easton Martin
They can't cope with the idea that somebody can be talented, clever AND right-wing, it blows their minds, so they tell themselves he's being ironic.
Yeah there's that, but it's not like The Smiths hid their distaste with modern life. They were open about it and liberals are only now realising it because Morrissey says some stuff.
Angel Lee
You know what it's like, you can talk about your distaste for modern life, you just can't mention the elephant in the room or you're a racist and beyond the pale. He's been saying these things for years - he said that Breivik's killings were nothing compared to what KFC do every day. He genuinely doesn't give a fuck, it's so refreshing these days.
Isaiah Rogers
He has enough money to not give a fuck. He can say whatever he wants.
Michael Price
They have always been based, I wonder how long until wearing a Smiths shirt is on the same level as a DIJ shirt or something.
Alexander Watson
True, and he lives in LA and has a cult following of Mexican gang members. Funny how things turn out.
