Oi, Morrissey, learn when to keep your gob shut!

London 2012: Olympics have made England "foul with patriotism", says Morrissey - Telegraph

[Spacecadet]

He's invoked Godwin's Law and therefore loses automatically

Morrissey berates everyone for not being as miserable as he is.

Arrogant berk.

Morrissey berates everyone for not being as miserable as he is.

I saw a youtube clip of him being interviewed recently and it basically boiled down to:

Everything from his childhood which has since been knocked down was wonderful and the government are ***** for knocking it down

Everything from his childhood which is still standing was utter tulip and the government are ***** for not knocking it down

[Old Greg]

Good to see reverse political correctness is live and well.

I don't agree with everything he says but I'm glad someone is challenging this new consensus on patriotism that we see with Armed Forces Day etc.

The irony is it's all so un-British.

[NotAllThere]

It is lethal to witness.

So why isn't he dead?

Morrissey, who famously draped himself in the Union flag during a 1992 concert in Finsbury Park, has made several bids for attention this year by making public pronouncements which he hoped would prove controversial.

Says it all, I see he made the sensible choice to come out anti olympics AFTER he has done his two UK dates of his latest tour, lets move on now

I bet he likes Russell then.

Yep, but as I said, 'learn when to keep your gob shut'.

I agree that patriotism and nationalism need discussion, but right now, people are enjoying the fun side of Olympic success, so nobody really wants that discussion. Wait until the games have passed and then raise the issue in a more sensible way.

I'm sure the national psyche is strong enough.

I am immensely enjoying the Olympics, but there's no reason for anyone to self-censor at the moment.
