'What is all the fuss about - The Smiths' - BBC discussion (June 24)

Each Friday on Robert Elms' lunchtime show they pick an artist/act to debate dissect etc. This Friday (24th), it's the turn of the Smiths.

Be warned, as good a London show as this is, the presenter, Robert Elms is not in the pro Smiths camp.

You can listen live 12:30pm gmt

Robert 'I invented London' Elms (Score:1)
F@cking QPR knowitall knob.

Has always thought Morrissey is a racist, mainly because Elms invented Reggae as well.

A total cock.

    What a plum this man is. His contribution to music has been advising Spandua Ballet and introducing the world to Sade.

    He loves jazz for gods sake. Middle class jumped up protentious sudo intellectual wanker.

    He hates The Smiths so phone him and give him spades.

      If you said that he'd call the Race relations board.

      Robert Elms also invented Political Correctness, in his spare time, whilst eating Tapas in Madrid.

      Give me strength.

        Elms is indeed a dick, an opinion I formed long before I knew of his anti-Moz stance. A shallow, arrogant, vapid, showy prick.

        The most tragic thing is his pretention to intellectualism. The criticisms I've seen him make of Morrissey amount to "oah he's such a moaner!!"

        Mr Insight!!

          Robert Elms.. he'll just dredge up a few redundant, jealous criticisms won't he? Anybody who's seen 'Brass Eye' will remember Chris Morris' perfect description of him, I think.

          Ginger parasite pretentious gobshite masquerading as a style and cultural guru.... Um not being against ginger people (some of my best mates are!) but gingas really aren't in a position to give me tips on how to dress.

          Oh I hate Robert Elms. Has he ever been west of Heathrow/ North of Watford? Oh yeh he has someone thought he could be a travel writer....
          I've got a word of advice to where he can go next on his travels; Uranus.
