And he always said it made him wonder..... he never said they were.

Exactly. In fact Morrissey has never uttered one racist sentence ever.

If he has I'd like somebody to prove it.

Social media hysteria has a lot to answer for.

That's probably why they make one wonder if they are a subspecies.

Morrissey was having a go about animal slaughter in China, skinning Minks alive, frying Cats alive etc, I don't think he meant the entire nation. All this support for, the party, For Britain, I do believe is because they say they will stop certain methods of slaughter, Morrissey will always support animal welfare. When I went to Hull in 2015, he was right behind Jeremy Corbyn, and I would presume that is because he is a vegetarian, give the man a break.

Dear Morrissey,

Keep Calm
Carry On

Love from Tameside. As ever.

I don't think it's mocking exactly but it's certainly showing sympathy for someone and explaining why they are drawn to that kind of politics. Either that or it's about Davy Bowie appropriating a disco sound in the 70s. Or about Johnny Marr leaving the Smiths to join the New Order of Bernard Sumner.

Interesting, because theirs depth to lyrics this man has written, so deep you could be completely wrong, or completely right?? An Iconic artist who cannot play his home town no more, how terrible.

I don't blame Morrissey for being angry about the contrived way that the meat of dogs is made to taste better. It's abhorrent.

Yea Sorry, that was intended for everyone,

Agreed and truly wonder why the haters now were not so forward in 1992 regards lyrics to this song, someone might explain what has changed in opinions. However sensibly if Dave Haslam wants to intrude in another uk tour let him do so sure wont be as successful for him. However TBF Manchester has so much to answer for simple, replies again will be Moz is finished same as stated 6 months ago and sold out a uk tour

I wanna see Morrissey again in the UK, lets not let Dave Haslam stop that happening, fair enough never play Manchester again, theirs many other cities to play, Edinburgh I was looking forward to, absolute shame the tour has been wrecked, and at 59 years of age, times running out, sad times.

Dave Haslam is absolutely nothing to do with whether Morrissey can play in the UK again. For better or worse, Morrissey's Manchester dates were doomed from the moment they were announced, because whoever is in charge underestimated the effect of his decision to back the far right. The rest of the tour could have gone ahead, and he could possibly have transferred to a smaller venue in Manchester if he had wanted to.

He can still play in the UK, just maybe not to audiences as big as he used to. It's Morrissey, not Dave Haslam, who will decide whether that happens or not.

The Ayatollah al-Haslaam was gathering an army of hoodlums to invade and molest
the Moz shows. They are capable of just about anything, jailbirds, vagrants and delinquents.

Previously Moz has not been interested in doing Manchester gigs and realistically you can understand why, remember the last tour it was why is Moz not playing Manchester , why does Moz not come home ahh think the answer is clear. So lets look at Home is a ? mark exactly why have that song on his LIHS. Quote Manchester so much to answer says it all. LOL smaller venue it was nothing to do with ticket sales if so show us all figures, again sadly you cant, so shut up on ticket sales and smaller events. Love to know who all proclaim on this site 1000s of Moz fans have deserted him seriously real Moz fans will never desert him,Personally he has saved my life for 35 yrs plus and thanks for destroying me seeing him another 4 times, however if lucky might get another tour but as long as he f***s the idiots all that matters so Skinny and muppets come buy me a drink at your music against racism will proudly be wearing my Moz shirt introduce yourself to me . Free drinks on the day will be awesome will Facebook live the event in the place and see how it all goes down. Manchester here we come so much to answer 2

Audiences he used to i remember many 800 capacity town hall gigs, so Haslam saying his next tour in the uk he will be making sure be a strong racism response to Moz gigs, spouting the same pish and trying to get allegedly his friendly meet and greet to Moz EX Smiths fans a tosser Haslam is, Hope TBF that legally Moz can Sue the twat if he tries a stunt like this again

Dave Nobody Haslam is nothing more than an opportunist. Is LMHR still on, now that Morrissey's gig is cancelled? I wonder how many will turn up. The audacity of him thinking he can"steal" Morrissey's fans shows that the man's motivations are not sincere. If he wanted to protest against racism he could have done so next to any skinhead gig. But no, he wants to see his name in the headlines next to Morrissey's name.
The world is full of leeches, like skinny for example. He is telling us how he f***ing hates Morrissey. Don't believe a word. That man is obsessed with him more than anyone. He invested so much in him and there is no a slight chance of ever being acknowledged. He is really pissed and can do nothing about it.

Anne Marie isn't a crazy cat lady lol! She's actually a very intelligent woman who's studied Islamic scriptures & laws. She knows the quran inside out. She speaks out about grooming gangs, forced marriages, halal slaughter, honour killings etc, The subjects that are happening in our country right now. It's not a nice thing and I can understand people don't want to admit and face the problems but like Morrissey was trying to say, we need to open these things up for discussion. He spoke about Anne Marie Waters because she has stood up and spoken about these issues.

Thank you for your post. This is a video of Anne Marie Waters talking at the 'Oxford Union'. Anne Marie Waters was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. I love her Irish accent:
