Billy Bragg: “Morrissey has broken the hearts of a lot of people” - The Big Issue (26 June, 2019)

full




Whole article as brief:

"Not one shy to express his own feelings, Bragg said: “I think he’s decided that he wants to betray everything he ever said in The Smiths and he’s broken the hearts of a lot of people.
The Smiths expressed a lot of peoples own sense of disconnect with society and helped them to find their own identity – and he’s totally trashed that. I’m heartbroken for them because I’m a big Smiths fan too. And I’m heartbroken for Johnny Marr because he’s genuine, a lovely guy, and he doesn’t deserve to have his legacy dragged through the dirt.”

In his most recent comments, Morrissey reaffirmed his support for a far-right political party and said more questionable things about race that are not worth repeating here but easy enough to find online if you really want.

Bragg added: “I have no sympathy for him, no respect for him, but I have a lot of sympathy and respect for his audience.”"

Further to his recent Oswald comment, Mr. Bragg is cited by The Big Issue for saying more on his view of Morrissey's behaviour.
The Big Issue present things ambiguously, so when Billy actually commented is unclear (possibly end of May), but given his previous comments - I doubt he'd say anything different.

FWD.

Rubbish. Whose business is it other than himself what kind of a house he lives in?

Oh,the irony!
Whose business is it, if MJ or M had a relationship?
But that seems fair game to you.
Hypocrite of the highest order.
 
Ah, Tommy Morrissey: The immigrant who hates immigration.

Trill, the rules are very easy and designed for the educationally sub-normal, easily suggestible (basically zombies) They are not new and have been around since the late 50s. Why cant you follow them? These would have been drilled into you in University whilst you did your pointless degree in "Furniture Gender Identification" or whatever it was.

The point is this. If someone is not on the "left" message (and the message is straight forward) "shout racist/ fascist" and move on. Its not hard. We don't require our zombies to do their own creative thinking. Thats the whole f***ing point Trill. What you've done is gone "anti-immigration" which puts a tick in the far right box which is fine but then "Tommy Morrissey" which puts a tick in the far left box, you prat! We dont agree with him therefore just label far right!

Look the point is this, get a society to value everything of weakness and let everything of strength wither, this creates enough confusion that you can pretty much do what you want to it, like reduce wages to that of slavery. So we want the west to value not breeding, not fighting, no identity, no competition, no independent thought. Thats the program, you total tit. If you were as independent as you think you are you might have wondered why the opposite program is followed and demonstrated by Putin.

So just shout Racist/ Fascist and move on Trill, your not here for thinking, just a zombie to make up the numbers.

This is a grossly myopic statement. I'm left -- I'm far-left, thank you -- and the apex of my belief is complexity. Slogans are always wrong. "Islam," like all word religions, is a vast set of ideas and people that can't be reduced to a slogan. Morrissey similarly argues against doctrinaire polarities.
What nonsense, '...the apex of my belief is complexity' - since when have your beliefs ever had anything to do with Islam and its teachings?
 
Billy Bragg "broke the hearts" of real socialists when he moved from the multicultural diversity of London to a luxurious multi-million £ country mansion estate in the whitest and richest part of England: Dorset. No diversity for him!

The man is a hypocrite with zero credibility.

Hoe dare he attempt to slag off Morrissey and claim he has "betrayed his fans".

I'm a Morrissey fan and I understand every word of what Moz says about race and immigration. The moneyed elite (that Bragg used to preach against but now has joined) are destroying England. They are flooding it with migrants (and have been for years) who are importing third world violence like mass stabbings and acid attacks. Eight men shot or stabbed dead on London's streets in the last 13 days - a Somalian knifed dead only last night. Three acid attacks the other day - the suspects two men dressed in burkas. And a donkey stabbed in what people believe was a gang initiation. Sick.

The idiot lesbian who runs the Met police said the other day that London is 'safer than New York' as if to somehow comfort people. But when before has London's violence ever reached American levels? This is England, not the US! If we have to compare our city to US cities that have been violent and crime ridden for decades then things are bad indeed.

London has become more violent than ever because of one reason. Unfettered immigration.

This is the society they are engineering.
Americans are shocked to see what's happening to England - probably the reason they voted for a nationalist as president.

Most Americans have absolutely no awareness of what's happening in England. We've got our own problems.

Which papers aren't bias?

I see we have a new member, anxious to make some points, but flailing badly. I spot a Russian troll.

All are biased to some degree. I read loads of em (online, like) and try to be aware of that. You simply cannot get unbiased news, even choosing which stories to report and how they are prioritised involves some bias.


But Breitbart?? Well they just take the piss.
 
Hey Trill the yanks i've interviewed all say the same, knife crime, megan hate campaign, brexit, need i go on?
The dislike? a tad unfair! All the same, America is not the world, hey?

He also gives loads of cash and time to various causes that support the disenfranchised and less-fortunate.

Have you ever had conversation with Billy? I’ve had more than one. He’s a genuine bloke, who’s heart and mind are right where they should be. I don’t begrudge ANYONE their right to free speech. I don’t begrudge the right of ANYONE to make a living, even a decent one. I also don’t begrudge ANYONE the right to spend their hard earned money on creature comforts, especially those who give of their time and money.

Billy Bragg does more for others than the entire lot of you broke, ignorant, pussy-ass wind-bags. He’s earned what he has through years of toil. I’m super happy for him.

You - on the other hand - provide ZERO. ...spouting on about the right to “freedom of speech” whilst, simultaneously, low-brow smack-talking others who exercise theirs.

You’re basic. ...and you’re a f***ing ignorant sack of shit.

Cheers!

He gives guitars to people in prison. Wondeful. Still waiting for him to put on a concert for the victims of terrorism.
