A Tory liking the Smiths? Isn't that a paradox?
Or does he just never listen to the lyrics?

I know a longstanding Smiths and Morrissey fan, as dedicated as anyone here, who is also extremely dedicated to the Tory party and who works at Central Office (I wonder if its the same guy you know?)

we don't need to share Morrissey's views to like his music. To be fair to Mr Cameron this was also mentioned in an article a while ago talking about MPs favourite music, at a time when he wasn't so prominent so its not like he's just made it up.

It wouldn't make me vote for him just like Blair pretending to like football didn't make me want to vote for him!

I knew Ken Clarke was a massive jazz fan.

All those Tory functions must be a riot! Cameron with his Smiths, Fat Ken with his jazz and Michael Ancram with his, er, Meatloaf.....

The smug sweaty twat.

I am sure the Tory stuffy hardcore will love "The Queen is Dead" and "Shoplifters".

M3? M4? Who cares? Just die quickly.

have seen david cameron on tv several times over the past few months and to me, he seems like one of the few tories who genuinely gives a toss about people. i am no tory supporter but he appears to be a nice bloke (with great taste in music evidently) so give him a break :-)

Cameron Quote (Score:1)

Cameron was on-line at the Guardian last year.

Bjorn
"Mr Cameron,
As a fellow fan of the finest pop band the world has ever seen, I'm very interested to know what your favourite smiths songs is?
Do you also ever consider whether your appreciation of fine alternative music is incompatible with being a Conservative politician? "

D Cameron
"hello Basically all the songs on 'The Queen is dead" apart from the first one. I don't think Morrissey and I would agree about a single solitary thing except perhaps that he is a wonderful lyricist. Can you be a conservative and like alternative music? why not - we believe in freedom and anyway, most of the Britpop/ cool Britannia/ Blair supporters have given him up as a bad job. !
