I haven't visited the UK in a long time. Are things really that bad?

I used to dream, and I used to vow
I wouldn’t dream of it now
We look to Los Angeles
For the language we use
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead
London is dead, London is dead

How do you say “Mayor of Mope” in Italian?

The same Morrissey who said he looks forward to the day children don’t revere Admiral Lord Nelson or the Crown?

Love his music, but he always was a lefty on politics. Maybe he is finally seeing things from a different perspective.

The 48-year-old added: "Other countries have held on to their basic identity yet it seems to me that England was thrown away. "The change in England is so rapid compared to the change in any other country. "If you walk through Knightsbridge on any bland day of the week you won't hear an English accent. "You'll hear every accent under the sun apart from the British accent..."

Hmmmm...sounds like a more articulate version of what former MLB pitcher John Rocker said about walking in New York City.


"The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. I'm not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?"

I was talking to a lovely Irish girl about a month ago, who was recently returned from a trip to Ireland. She said that there are no Irishmen left in Dublin, except a couple of old pub keepers who stick around to serve the tourists.

I guess he’ll never work for the BBC.
