Mozza 'racism' battle builds - The Sun

Quote from The Sun:

"A spokesman for the singer said: "We are suing them (the NME) for defamation. They have not only misquoted Morrissey, they have omitted critical parts of the interview and distorted the tone of the piece, his responses and the questions he was asked in order to try and present an inflammatory case."

I hope Moz was on the ball enough to tape that second telephone interview. If the above is true this is a whole new ball game, if they have actually misquoted him and changed some of the questions, they are fucked!

Morrissey vs. The N.M.E. on Reason.com
The respected (rightfully so) American Libertarian leaning magazine "Reason" has the Morrissey vs. The N.M.E. story in its Hit & Run section on its website.

There seems to be a following of Morrissey fans on there as well.

Today on the Swedish radio channel P3 in the show "Kvällspasset" the accusations of Morrissey being a racist was brought up. They have a segment in the show called "Today's dilemma" where one listener had mailed in and asked if the other listerners thought it was ok to listen to an artist they really like even if they express views that can be seen as racist.

Here's a link to the shows homepage where you can listen to it once again (it's in swedish)

As first mentioned on the Moz-solo forum here, the NME debacle and the wider questions Morrissey's comments raised about immigration into the UK was one of the issues discussed in the 29th November edition of the BBC1 show Question Time in the UK. As Maurice comments in the thread on the forum, "For the non-Brits among you 'Question Time' is the leading political discussion show in the UK... it's a political institution." (more information about the show can be found on wikipedia here). On the show, the issue was raised by a member of the audience who asked (as reported by Jukebox Jury in the thread) 'Morrissey has questioned the effect immigration has had on England's identity. Discuss'. Morrissey's comments and the wider issues were then discussed by the panel which included members of the UK parliament. The video on youtube starts from just after the question was raised, and goes on to the end of the show.

Morrissey's recent comments in NME interviews are discussed in a question to the panel in BBC1's Question Time (Broadcast Thursdays on BBC1, at 10.30ish).

The question quoted Morrissey and asked if Britain was losing it's identity. I love this country :). It's right at the end, so skip to the last 5 minutes of it on the BBC Online repeat (or on Virgin Media if they have it on-demand).

Watch here (see show broadcast on Thursday 29th November 2007 at 10.35pm GMT/UTC)
