Progressives’ Heads Explode as Morrissey Praises Brexit, Attacks Halal Meat

For maybe the first time in their deluded, cosseted, snowflake bubble lives, progressive music fans are finally getting a taste of something that conservative music fans have to put up with all the time: the misery of discovering that your pop icon hero just doesn’t share your politics.

Enter Morrissey – singer-songwriter, formerly of arguably the Eighties’ greatest indie rock band The Smiths – who has just killed the dreams and hopes of an entire progressive generation by saying lots of politically incorrect things in interviews and on his website. . They include:

Denouncing halal meat as “evil”: “halal slaughter requires certification that can only be given by supporters of Isis”

Speaking less than highly of London Mayor Sadiq Khan: “London is debased. The mayor of London tells us about ‘neighbourhood policin’’ … this is the mayor of London! And he cannot talk properly!”

Deriding UK Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott: “Even Tesco wouldn’t employ her.”

Failing to accept that Hitler was on the far right: “As far as racism goes, the modern loony left seem to forget that Hitler was leftwing,”

Denying that racism is by far the worst crime in the world: “When someone calls you racist, what they are saying is: hmm, you actually have a point, and I don’t know how to answer it, so perhaps if I distract you by calling you a bigot we’ll both forget how enlightened your comment was.”

Being pro-Brexit: “People wanted to leave the EU because of the complete erosion of freedom under EU rules, and the fair-minded majority now see in even more frightening ways how very much they are hated by the EU, not to mention the British political elite.”

Loved The Smiths back in the day.
How Soon is Now was rated the number 1 song, EVER.

“London is debased. The mayor of London tells us about ‘neighbourhood policin’’ … this is the mayor of London! And he cannot talk properly!”

London is Dead
London is Dead
London is Dead
London is Dead
London is Dead
London is Dead

I think Morrissey just hates everybody, LOL.

Be fair, Morrissey thinks all meat is "evil", hence the album title "Meat is Murder".

“...Progressives’ Heads Explode...”

Imagery, man... Stop teasing...

[Flycatcher]

Love that song too.

It must kill the progressive and pretentious music scene to lose Morrissey. As with Bob Dylan, they just assumed these artists are as pro-statist -- and brain dead -- as they are.

Is the present day group called “The Smiths” the same group called “The Smiths” in the 1960’s that had the hit song, “Baby, It’s You?”

That band's name was just "Smith", their singer passed away a few years ago, IIRC.

Bah, I still think they’re so-so. I would take the CURE , hands down. I met and got Robert Smith to sign my guitar once here in L.A. and he didnt hesitate to do it. One of my prized possessions.

[max americana]

Partner, the head Mooselimb Mohammad copied this term from the Jewish folks who were doing their best to proselyte Mohammad to the Jewish faith.

Mohammad copied all of the Jewish faith traditions and we know this for a fact!!!

This is a great example of Kosher food coming from the Jewish faith but Mohammad calls it Halal.

The Mooselimb religion is not a religion at a all but one sick perverted way of life.

[Amberdawn]

Wow! The normally moronic, Vegan Morrissey gets a clue!

[Gene Eric]

>> London is Dead

Yup.

And Islam is a war plan.

[farming pharmer]

Holy crap! Could Beef-cup-o-soup, getting a girlfriend and owning a gun be far behind for Morrissey?

[SandRat]

GOOD!!!

Decades ago when I used to attend punk rock shows some anti nuke group organized a show in front of the city hall in Toronto with a bunch of local punk bands just assuming they were all in agreement with the organizers. Well one group wasn’t on board and started praising nuclear power noting the electricity used for the show was probably coming from the nearby Pickering Nuclear power station. They went on to play a couple of songs and left the stage. It was quite amusing to see the bewilderment of the anti nuke organizers.
