Reply to: Who is the bigger twat?

[Doggy Styles]

But still not as much of a twat as Morrisey

Quite right.

Actually, it's miserable twat, to use his full title.

In that context Morrisey is a twat, Cameron is just dangerous.

That libel case is from many many years later (2007) Madstock was 15 years earlier.

A decent description of what happened and why can be found here and Morrissey really should have thought through his song choice based on the audience he and madness would attract.

Just read it, did you?

Meanwhile, Morrissey, a Liberace shirt slung over his skinny frame, is waving these fascist-spawned monsters’ Union Flag at them while relating the experience of Davey, the young man who went to the -National Front Disco’; if ever there was an sudden irony failure at NME, who’d slated Morrissey’s solo work for not -treading on the taboos of old’, it was right here.

[Bunk]

What did he say?

IIRC he was misquoted in the NME and successfully won the libel case in court.



What do you disagree with?

"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."

That part. It's just not true. You'll hear other accents yes, but I would bet that the majority of accents you hear would be English. He could have picked other areas that I'd have had a harder time disagreeing with, but Knightsbridge?

I remember him stumping off at madstock. Was rather pleased he never returned to the UK for years afterwards.

What happened to him as he sprouted the crap he did while wearing a union jack was self inflicted definitely no sympathy (oh and if had had a bottle and wasn't with the wife I would have joined in, racist w***er).

"With the issue of immigration, it's very difficult because, although I don't have anything against people from other countries, the higher the influx into England the more the British identity disappears".

"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."

He went on to say: "England is a memory now. The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in."

What do you disagree with?

Start a new thread and say that again...

would you agree to a poll?

option would be

me
you
mf
andyW's mum

[d000hg]

It's either Doogie or Eek, but I'm going to go for Doogie.

Morrissey can out-twat anybody in the entire history of music.

Just to prove you can't even get that right

Cameron said of immigration from India "we want the brightest and best"... "they can stay if they can get a graduate job" in other words he is quite happy to protect the unskilled British workforce but wont protect the British graduate workforce. Since there is already quite a lot of graduate level unemployment flooding the country with ever more Indian nationals is not viable. He is a two faced liar talking tough on immigration here for electoral reasons but keeping the floodgates open and promising something completely different in India. ICT visas are still uncapped and being massively abused.

Absolute disaster for this country.

But still not as much of a twat as Morrisey

Me too but I still voted for Morrissey.

Oh flip, I voted for Cameron because his was the first name I saw. But Morrissey is orders of magnitude more twattish.

That'll teach me to shoot from the hip!
