Re: The world won't listen - statement from Morrissey at true-to-you

People in power never give up power. Look at Assad - if you must; his dingbat wife continuing to smile and wave, wrapped in Fendi, as the people of Syria disappear into dust. It is the same shame that the British utilized whilst claiming ownership of the Malvinas by shooting anyone who stood in their way. How very brave. Imagine if Taiwan claimed the Isle of Wight. Yes, it is that silly. The Queen is conveniently said to have no political power, yet it would be impossible to imagine her government disagreeing with her if she elected to return the Malvinas to the Argentinian people, and although David Cameron is gung-ho ready to see more British and Argentinian boys die in battle for this odd bit of turf, he cannot see the richer intellect in simply returning the islands to their rightful owners. Yet Cameron is haughtily aghast when people run riot on the streets of Coventry stealing hair-dryers worth ten pounds. Outrage!
What is never considered is how the occupants of the Malvinas (who want to bask in the south seas whilst also having the benefit of the NHS, and who number only about 2,500) are quite satisfied to sit back and watch service personnel die defending their post box. Has such selfishness ever been known? What makes it all worth it?

Thank you to Russell Brand for standing up and speaking out in recent weeks. Like anyone who speaks out in modern Britain, he has been shot down. Nothing must interfere with the depressive psychosis of modern Britain, which has become a most violent and melancholic country, with no space for measured debate. Like Russell, I believe that the most powerful vote you can give is No Vote; for the days of Prime Ministers have gone, and it's time for a form of change that is far more meaningful than simply switching blue to red. The print media will only support people who do not matter and who are incapable of instigating thought - David 'rent-a-smile' Beckham; his wife - famous for having nothing to do; the dum dum dummies of the Katie Price set; the overweight Jamie 'Orrible, who tells us all how to eat correctly.
At what point did the dis-United Kingdom become a cabbagehead nation? Where is the rich intellect of debate? Where is our Maya Angelou, our James Baldwin, our Allen Ginsberg, our Anthony Burgess, our political and social reformers? At what point did the shatterbrained scatterbrains take over - with all leading British politicians suddenly looking like extras from Brideshead Revisited? Although it is clear to assess the Addams Family of SW1X as the utterly useless and embarrassing ambassadors of a sinking England, how can we effect change without being tear-gassed? In the absence of democracy, there is no way.

I write this without outburst; a staunch non-terrorist, quietly, calmly and composedly, as I mourn the loss of the land.

I'd love to see him make a video making points like this. I feel like it's so much easier for the majority of the world to brush off "Morrissey's diatribes" when they are written — as opposed to Russell Brand's recent interview, which as I saw it received much applaud and notoriety.

Naturally, I'm not saying for Moz to give an interview format. But it'd be interesting to see one of these missives read — or "spoken from the heart," as he bashes the queen for not doing — in digital video format posted to true-to-you. I think his point would strike much harder if the depth of his passion for animals could be viewed in his face and heard in his voice.

Yes! Brand's video went viral. Video is a great medium for spreading ideas quickly to the masses with short attention spans. Namely, pretty much all of us, these days.

Why the f*** would anybody shoot a lion?
 
He's still mad at Kate just for answering the telephone as he put it.

There is this horrible travesty trend in South Africa that caters to trophy hunters call Canned Hunting. They raise lions in puppy mill conditions for the purpose of shooting them. THe hunter of course does not tell all his colleagues and family back home that it was a canned hunt, but the hunter pays top dollar to say he bagged a lion. I'm not sure if this lion in question was a canned hunt, sort of even worse if it isn't. THey do it to bears and other large mammals too, and half the time the lions are quite tame and used to people.

Bravo, Morrissey, BRAVO!!!! :thumb: Great minds think alike. Just yesterday I posted on Facebook that "Melissa Bachman is an asshole." Yes, I am a pretty right on person, just like my Moz.

One correction: the mania of the abattoir is technically non-homicidal murderous.


Check out my curtsy to the Queen: :angry:

The world won't listen - true-to-you.net


I am not ashamed to admit that newspaper photographs in recent days of American TV presenter Melissa Bachman laughing as she stands over a majestic lion that had been stalked and shot dead by Bachman herself left me tearful. Although I have previously felt enraged by the asininity of U.S. congressman Paul Ryan, and political fluffhead Sarah Palin - both of whom also kill beings for fun, there is something especially lamentable about the Bachman smile of pride as the lion - a symbol of strength, heraldry and natural beauty, lies lifeless in answer to Bachman's need for temporary amusement. The world struggles to protect the rhino and the elephant - both being shot out of existence, yet Bachman joins the murderous insanity of destruction without any fear of arrest. This comes in the same week that Princess Anne condones horsemeat consumption - since she is evidently not content with eating pigs, sheep, cows, birds and fish. Although her slackwitted view is reported with mild surprise by the British media, there is no outrage since the crassness and international duncery of the British so-called 'royal family' remains the great unsaid in British print. It is spoken of, of course, but it is not allowed to go further than that. Why does Anne approve of slaughter of any kind? Has she ever been inside an abattoir? Does she actually know what she's talking about? Similarly, on October 5, the Daily Mail newspaper gave us all an "amusing" report of thickwit Pippa Middleton laughing as she stood over 50 birds shot dead by her friends and herself after a "busy day's shooting". We are reminded by the Daily Mail that Middleton is a 'socialite', which tells us that she is privileged and can more-or-less kill whatever she likes - and, therefore she does. The sick face of modern Britain, Pippa Middleton will kill deer, boar, birds - any animal struggling to live, or that gets in her socialite way. This is because her sister is, of course, Kate, who herself became 'royal' simply by answering the telephone at the right time, and this association allows Pippa's kill, kill, kill mentality to be smilingly endorsed by the British print media, to which only the mentally deficient could join in with the laughter. The right to kill animals is endorsed by Prime Minister David Cameron who shoots stag whenever he feels a bit bored. In the Queen's Honors List, awards have been bestowed upon musicians Bryan Ferry and PJ Harvey - both of whom allegedly support fox-hunting. There is not one single instance when an animal protectionist has found themselves knighted or applauded by the Queen. That animals are an essential part of our planet (that they are, in fact, the planet) and must be protected, is a shatterbrained concept to the British 'royals'. Historically, we all remember Prince William proudly killing the baby deer, Prince Harry bravely giving the thumbs-up as he pointlessly ended the life of a water-buffalo, the Queen loading her shotgun in readiness to shoot birds out of the sky. How terribly regal.
Although the natural idiocy of the British 'royals' is internationally acknowledged, it still doesn't make their behavior any less alarming.
Animals who are free (or, if you insist, 'wild') lead lives of struggle; their every moment absorbed by the need to find food for themselves and their offspring. They have a natural instinct to survive - as do animals in abattoirs, but they cannot compete against the loaded hunting-guns of Pippa Middleton or David Cameron. It is by no means a fair game. Has Melissa Bachman considered hunting without a shotgun? We might then be impressed if she manages to bring a lion down. Dingbat coward Sarah Palin shoots at running bears from the safety of her multi-million-dollar helicopter, and the Queen continues to endorse the trapping of the Canadian brown bear so that her senior servile guardsmen might look their prettiest. The babies of the trapped and murdered adult bears are left to die slowly - unable to survive without their mothers. Wearing enough real fur to encircle Russia, our beloved Queen Elizabeth couldn't care less. Death dwells in life.
In lordly London, a proudly moral statue stands on Park Lane. It honors animals that "served" during the war, boldly telling us They Had No Choice.
There is no statue that states: ANIMALS IN ABATTOIRS - THEY HAVE NO CHOICE.
The homicidal mania of the abattoir, the murderous insanity of the badger kill ('cull' is far too soft a word for what takes place - not in order to protect cows – who are butchered, anyway, but in order to make more money for farmers); and from this, we wonder how the human race can make any claims of humanity. We must ask why it is thought that animals deserve such horrific treatment. No British government has ever had an Animal Protectionist MP, yet animals outnumber humans on the planet. It is quite easy, I'll admit, to blame the mentally defective 'royals' for continually setting such a cretinous example where animal welfare is concerned; we recall William and Kate in Canada laughing hysterically as a bull, whose abdomen has been cinched with a bucking strap, is jumping in agony before the stiffly-apart-together lovely 'royal' couple - who are both clapping excitedly. Where is humanity? Where is any sense of goodness and pity? And what is so terribly funny about torture?
The nub of this argument is the press insistence that the 'royals' are in possession of a morality that the rest of us would all wish to rise to, and that they are also a form of church for the British people. No, no, no. Not true.
We are continually told (warned?) that we love the 'royals' whatever their conduct, and we see very clearly how this most dysfunctional family must - at all costs - leave a virtuous emblem on the age, as we also see how no British citizens (for we are not subjects) can be considered qualified enough to question the 'royals' - or to even be allowed to ask why it is thought necessary to have a monarchy in the first place - especially as most countries throughout the world exist quite well without royal boils. Although the cash-cow subject of tourism is frequently raised in order to support the annual 50m grabbed from public taxes in order to lavish on the 'royals', it should be noted that people do not refuse to visit the Eiffel Tower simply because there is no Queen of France....

- - - Updated - - -

....The mystery in England is why the 'royals' are repeatedly forced upon us with a cleansed aura - one that is not theirs by nature. We are asked to feel round-the-clock concern for the failing health of Prince Philip, yet his offhand civility is all we've ever known of him, and since his life has meant nothing to the British people then why should his approaching death? Although the press is continually conscious of pushing any story too far, there is mysteriously no suspicion of utterly sterile boredom where 'royal news' (i.e, non-news) is concerned. Nothing in the bearing of the Queen speaks to, or for, modern Britain. Speech is a question of rhythm, and even this the Queen has failed to master in her very lengthy lifetime of being unable to address a nation without auto-cue. Is she incapable of speaking directly from the heart? That the future of the monarchy rests on the natural idiocy of Harry, zombified William and airhead Kate, is quite frightening. We, the British public, are trapped.
In our democratic society, how do we call for the 'royals' to resign and retire? Where is our platform? Who will let us speak? We, who are neither apocalyptic anarchists nor extremists, who speak softly and care primarily for the environment and all living beings, feel embarrassed by what the 'royals' do today far more than whatever they did 200 years ago. But how can we speak without being Tasered away? In an England that is said to be democratic, how can a self-elected monarchy have any place? It can't. If the 'royals' are a dictatorship - which they obviously are - then how can England be democratic? When the British public booed Charles and Camel off Regent Street, the British police were ready to turn the tanks onto the very people who are forced to pay for the 'royals'' upkeep. How is this democracy? Evidently, with visions of rising People Power in the Middle East, the British establishment must be terrified that such an awakening might take place against them.
The media, quite naturally, are always ready to report on 'anti-royal extremists', yet I have never once heard the term 'pro-royal extremists'. Evidently someone is only extreme if you don't happen to like their clothes.
 
Why do I have a feeling the second part of this rant was supposed to be in his autobiography...? This is more than just an anti-animal killing rant. Morrissey is calling for the expulsion of the British soil family. He wants a revolution. :clap:

I agree about the royals and animals. But he's wrong about not voting being the right route. I voted Tory once, to keep the BNP out in the local elections. If the protest votes hadn't taken effect, the racists would have won.

What about Paul McCartney being knighted in 1997?

Virginia McKenna, Lady Fretwell, Sara Wolfensohn, Mark Simmons, Tim Wass - these are MBEs and OBEs for services to Animal Welfare, there's plenty more. He's just plain wrong on this point.

"The members of legislative bodies are selected by political parties, largely financed or otherwise influenced by private capitalists who, for all practical purposes, separate the electorate from the legislature. The consequence is that the representatives of the people do not in fact sufficiently protect the interests of the underprivileged sections of the population." - A. Einstein

In essence, parliamentarianism is dictatorship in sheep's clothing. It claims to have organization of political parties and allow universal suffrage. So we elect our rulers. Except nominations are actually determined by the power of money.

Not voting only works if everyone does it, at the moment only two thirds vote in general elections but even if it was one third or a quarter the MPs would still get elected and the government would still take power. Boris is Mayor of London, only a third of Londoners registered to vote bothered. Perhaps Morrissey should talk to the Green Party.

He is wrong about the Falklands, they were uninhabited before the 1760s, they changed hands numerous times until the Brits took over in 1840, the people living there don’t want to be Argentinian and the UN aren’t going to tell them otherwise. Argentina thinks there’s oil down there but they’ve been looking for years and still not found it.

As for “basking in the south seas” it’s colder and wetter than Scotland and windy all year round, when it snows it doesn’t settle because it gets blown away. A dreary shithole, less than 3000 people in an area the size of Connecticut, with penguins.
 
well I'm on facebook and sign lot of petitions against killing or harm animals all over the worls, Im sure this women will get her
punish, in most wildlife santcuaries killing is not allowed though locals are making money with scum who risk a lot by going onn a hunt.

The picture is tru;y sick though I think it's a set up, which makes it not right

'and they say he's mentall'....do you know who animals kill?..
 
Re: The world won't listen - statement from Morrissey, true-to-you 18th November 2013

I am glad he equates this Bachman* woman's actions with those of the UK's pathetic royals :crazy:
partially because other than writing about it, nobody and I mean nobody is actually going to do anything about either of them
the UK had its chances time and time again to kill off the monarchy** seems people don't want that, at least the majority don't and sorry
along with the super rich, their lackeys - "the mob" reign
same with the whole hunting thing, for while I might condone taking this Bachman b*tch out the same way she did that lion
the question is where does it end? :o
wouldn't we that like eating animals have to some day fear getting taken out by some psychotic vegan armed with a gun :eek::p

*=my brain wants to file this lion slaying under having been done by Michele Bachmann and you know what?
I think I am going to let it :lbf:

**=OK, yeah, England killed a king once, a Stuart, and had one rightful king after that, his son, the rest have been pretenders, end of story, deal with it :cool:

Your reasons for voting Tory are irrelevant, the fact that you vote Tory means that you back them (literally) and support their policies.The Tories will boast that 'X' number of people vote for them, and you are one of those Tory supporters. There were other methods open to you, such as taking out full page adverts in your local paper stressing why people mustn't vote BBP, or standing for election yourself. Voting Tory was a cop out. Not voting would have been a far stronger stance. You sold out and now you carry the label of self confessed Tory voter.
