That's a really good article and has some nice insight. If you've ever read any serious articles about immigration (and by serious, I mean something like the Economist or Foreign Affairs, not some shitty rag like nme or cosmo) you would know that immigration is a huge problem in nearly all of the western world. People are coming in droves to all of the western countries. Who can blame them? Who wouldn't want to leave poverty, oppression and war behind for the promise of a better life? It's too bad that they can't make a better life back home, because that is what would be best for the whole world (not because I don't want immigrants to come to any particular country, but rather because the more places where people can live and be prosperous and safe, the better it is for the entire world).

I got a lead to this site from an Anonymous poster here on Morrissey-Solo. Thanks to that person again. Here's what I posted to this interesting blog this morning:

"I think the most depressing thing is that Morrissey GENUINELY wasn't trying to be xenophobic but a few characters jumped on his words and say they "support" what he said!

When I saw uber right-winger Mr Kavanagh "on Morrissey's side" in The Sun I was almost sick.

Take a look at this article about Moz v the NME

I replied to Anonymous, then posted a comment to that Brummie Blog, as follows:

As the world’s greatest-living Brummie, after Ozzie Osbourne, of course!
Thanks for that link to a Birmingham-focussed cultural analysis forum.

Whilst not agreeing with all the points concerning Morrissey’s views on 'i-m-m-i-g-r-a-t-i-o-n': It certainly knocks the socks off the so-called 'journalistic' investigation by the NME.

Morrissey can’t be held responsible for Mr Kavanagh’s interpretation of his words or for his ‘endorsement’ of them. Don’t read The Sun! Or The Times (same paper, really). Both should carry a health warning:

“Reading this meretricious trashy propaganda may permanently damage your ability to think rationally”

Has anyone seen Jonze back in London yet? ‘Where’s The Tape?’ It’s on my t-shirt as I write.
Is Jonze wandering up and down Oxford Street with a placard saying ‘Get yer Evidence here!’:

Distributing free cassette copies, to 'prove' the validity of the points he recorded, then did/didn't -write/endorse/retract/-retrospectively legitimise?

Where's The Tape: Morrissey-gate?
'All The NME’s men‘ : Coming to a cinema near you?

Will Robert Redford play Jonze in the film? Or Connor?
