The former Smiths frontman has become an increasingly controversial figure in recent years for a string of remarks and his support for the far right. He voiced support for EDL founder Tommy Robinson in the wake of his sentencing for contempt of court, saying: Its very obvious that Labour or the Tories do not believe in free speech
I mean, look at the shocking treatment of Tommy Robinson. He described halal meat preparation as evil and requires certification that can only be given by supporters of Isis

[far right] == [doesn’t want cultural suicide]
Morrissey is as left as it gets.
That being said How Soon Is Now is arguable the best song of the 80s.
He's so far left, he's starting to appear right.
#8. British Marxism and stupidity is stronger than “Free Speech” movements of many drug addled losers.
However, just a couple of comments on England and Canada. England is today what Canada is trying to become tomorrow, “Marxist-Light, Intolerance Strong”. Justin Trudeau is like his Marxist father and mother, a Marxist, but really a “Marxist in Training” or a “Marxist-Lite”, but he’s learning totalitarianism fast. We need to know who are his teachers besides Castro/Che/Maduro-Chavez, Ortega and Karl Marx.
As I read some of the great old English literature on freedom, I have come to realize that I can only name maybe 5 Englishmen and women who I consider “Champions of Freedom” for the 20th Century. You will know some of them:
* Winston Churchill - the man had more guts and foresight than 99% of England during his lifetime, and he was a combat veteran of the Boer War. No coward be he.
* Margaret Thatcher, “the Iron Maiden”. Her American counterpart was Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Sarah Palin. She took no shit from the Marxists and corrupt Labor Party comsyphs. I really miss her courage in the face of stupidity, Marxism and cowardice.
* Christopher Lee, the actor - SAS and RAF during WW2. He preferred the American Mustang P-51 over the older British Spitfire because of its new engines and firepower. No coward be he. (We had a nice talk at a conference on Sci-Fi).
* “Col. English”, my later father-in-law’s apartment neighbor. I once asked him what did he fly during WW2, Spitfires or Hurricanes (he was a British flight instructor among other things. He replied in typical British brevity, “Both”. My kinda guy.
*A Jewish British commando during WW2 named McMasters (probably from our Scottish or Irish side of the tribe). During and after WW2, when he and other Jewish commandos could get away from base in Germany (and/or France), they did a little “Nazi hunting” for war criminals, Gestapo agents, concentration camp guards and leaders, etc. because nobody else was doing anything to avenge the “6 Million”.
He must have been from the Judas Maccabee family of history.
He was an early example of “Never Again” in real action.
I respected John Majors and Tony Blair too, but the above were the key Englishmen and women that I thought had earned a place above the rest for being champions of freedom.
Today, all I can see is that Islamic prick mayor of London, the anti-Semite Khan, the reds of the Labor Party, disarmed British police, cowardly journalists, the stifling of real free speech, asskissing every moslem who demands things (not talking about the decent Moslem of England), and a general political malaise that is bringing out the fall of England, something even Hitler couldn’t accomplish.
Today, the British Lion has no eyes, no balls, no guts, no teeth, no common sense and no future.
That is the “Shame and the Pity” for western civilization.
William Shakespeare, Johnson, Swift and the other late great British writers have applied for reburial visas in America or Israel, the only two great bastions of freedom and democracy left in the world.
Welcome guys, even dead we need men like you.
i think he started changing mentality after he got cancer
They were always intolerant.
Back then they were trying to push the country to the Left now they are trying to “ban” the right.
Different tactics but the same goal.
Now if I could just come up with a wife approved stand for my old Thorens turntable.
Hope that happens before my hearing degrades too much more.
Thank you much for that. So many GREATS in one post.
My handy-dandy Newspeak media translation guide for political ideology labels:
Media labels vs. Reality:
Blue = Red
Socialist/Left-wing = Stalinist
Liberal = Marxist
Moderate/(Centrist) = Socialist
Conservative = Liberal
Far-Right = Moderate
Ultraright/Racist/Bigot = Conservative Mainstream
‘Far-right’ means (on this occasion) Morrissey is a moderate.
I barely had heard the name before I ran across this article.
He got in trouble a few years back because someone asked him about his clothes and he said he got them in a Paki shop. Had he said Pakistani shop, he would have been okay.
Yes, but the point is that when the Left in Britain has lost Morrissey...
And they *have* lost Morrissey.
Hypocrisy, thy name is "liberal."
Way to go Moz! I am personally a big SMITHS fan and love the way Morrissey ruffles feathers.
“The Queen is dead, boys....
And it’s so lonely on a limb”
I’ll bet it is.
Agree completely!
My brother and a friend (back in the 70’s) used to cruise around in his Dart Sport and for kicks throw the occasional fire cracker out the window.
One night it didn’t quite make it out the window. Funny to watch them pull over and get out and walk around until their ears quit ringing.
Morrissey is as Left as it USED TO GET
Hah! A little taste of his own medicine.
There are certain firecrackers (Roman Candles?) that carry a blast which feels as though it’s exploding inside your head.
It’s hard to describe.
Do it, and pour yourself a pleasant beverage whilst you listen to rekirds!
