Morrissey is known for his criticism of meat eaters, the British music press, royalty, and politicians, in paticular the reign of Mrs. Thatcher,( "Margaret on the Guillotine", a jab at Margaret Thatcher.
After her death in 2013, Morrissey called her "a terror without an atom of humanity")
"It was a celebration of what? 60 years of dictatorship. She's not [my Queen]. I'm not a subject," and commenting: "I hate the royals. ... The world does not need them.")
Morrissey said he hypothetically would push a button that would kill Trump, he said:
"I would, for the safety of the human race. It's nothing to do with my personal opinion of his face or his life or his family, but in the interest of the human race I would, yes."
In December 2017, he said the United States Secret Service questioned him over his comments on Trump, whom he calls, "Donald Thump."
On is sexuality Morrissey has said,
"Unfortunately, I am not homosexual. In technical fact, I am humasexual.
I am attracted to humans. But, of course ... not many.
Although the gunman who massacred 49 people at an Orlando gay club is said to have been 'repulsed' by homosexuality, he nonetheless left behind a slew of self-adoring 'selfies'; a handsome man gazing enchantedly at his own face. It is therefore acceptable for him to lovingly admire his own maleness, but it is not OK for other men to like other men. Does Islamic scripture say it is fitting for a man to sit alone taking adoring photographs of himself? I doubt it. Meanwhile, Donald Thump, probably America's next President, reacts to the Orlando massacre by explaining how, if the people within the club were themselves armed with guns, then there would have been fewer casualties. This, of course, is his way of avoiding any words of support to the Orlando gay community (it is their own fault for going into a nightclub without hand grenades). Donald Thump would therefore probably claim that the massacred children of Sandy Hook would still be alive today if only they'd had the common sense to carry sawn-off shotguns to school. The Thump response to Orlando is therefore anti-gay and pro-gun possession. Ann Coulter will be waving her baseball cap and cheering. It's all going so well for America! Unfortunately, CNN obliged the gunman once again with a flashing flood of publicity - which is all he ever wanted, and which will encourage the next shooter to prepare for international fame. Why showthe gunman's face? Nobody needs to see it. The larger disaster is the two leading faces in the presidential race, as the world prepares to shake its head in disbelief when the new president is named. Clinton is the face and voice of pooled money (and will therefore repay the established elite with whatever they want if she is elected), and Donald Thump is George Wallace - hating just about anyone who doesn't happen to be Donald Thump. Surely this is not 2016 America? Thump's only achievement so far is in making Sarah Palin seem intelligent, which, admittedly, is so difficult as to be a colossal strike in his favor. The true victory of the presidential race has been the independent success of Bernie Sanders, whose approach has been so sane and intelligent and measured that he has been therefore all but entirely ignored by the U.S. media, who cannot understand anyone who is not blood-thirsty. This is because Bernie Sanders is human, and one who unusually did not gain his position because of several billion invested dollars. His many primary successes in the presidential race have been headlined as LOSS FOR CLINTON, whereas a Clinton win has not ever been headlined as LOSS FOR SANDERS. Bernie Sanders has been pushed out by the media because the idea of a self-made man who does not crave international war is completely alien to such as Fox News. The idea of a man who is popular because he calls for world peace and for rescue of the environment cannot provide outraged headlines for CNN, who have devoted their online news page to Donald Thump long before Thump was even a logical contender. Thump doing absolutely nothing has been more newsworthy to CNN than Sanders' state-to-state victories. Ballot papers for 2016 should include a NO CONFIDENCE IN EITHER NOMINEE box, and it is this box that would collect the most votes. Clinton and Thump may be popular with the party faithful - but the party faithful aren't that large, and are not America, therefore a sad day looms in November - a day that only Bernie Sanders could have saved - had he been allowed his rightful share of media support. But, clearly, the presidential election really is none of your business. Did you ever seriously think it was?
“Age shouldn’t affect you. You’re either marvelous or you’re boring, regardless of your age,”
Here’s a list of famous faces who WON’T be raising a glass on Morrissey's 56th birthday.
1. The Queen
(Steve Parsons/PA)
“Her very Lowness with her head in a sling, I’m truly sorry but it sounds like a wonderful thing”.
2. The Middletons
(Christopher Pledger/Daily Telegraph/PA)
" Kate is an “airhead” who “became ‘royal’ simply by answering the telephone at the right time”, while her sister Pippa is branded a “thickwit” in a scathing attack on her hunting habits.
3. Prince Charles
(Yui Mok/PA)
“I wish that Prince Charles had been shot. I think it would have made the world a more interesting place”.
“Relieve Britain of your abysmal family and please, I beg of you, quietly resign”.
4. Beyonce
(Kathy Willens/AP)
“The rhino is now more or less extinct, and it’s not because of global warming or shrinking habitats. It’s because of Beyonce’s handbags.”
5. Bob Geldof
(John Stillwell/PA)
“Bob Geldof is a nauseating character”. He called Band Aid “the most self-righteous platform ever in the history of popular music,” and called the single Do They Know it’s Christmas “an awful record, considering the mass of talent involved”.
“Madonna reinforces everything absurd and offensive. Desperate womanhood. Madonna is closer to organised prostitution than anything else.”
8. Kylie Minogue
(Silvia Izquierdo/AP)
“ i am absolutely thrilled” to see the singer pick up an OBE for her services to music, “I’m sure you’ll agree, it was completely deserved”.
9. Sir Elton John
(Sylvain Gaboury/AP)
“Elton John is pushing his face in all the time, and telling us about his private life. Nobody’s interested, he’s incredibly rich, he should just go away, and he’s just hoisting his problems onto everybody and working them out publicly and…I’ve said enough.”
10. David Cameron
(Lynne Cameron/AP)
“David Cameron hunts and shoots and kills stags – apparently for pleasure. It was not for such people that either Meat Is Murder or The Queen Is Dead were recorded; in fact, they were made as a reaction against such violence.”
11. Bryan Ferry
(Kin Cheung/AP)
”I apologise very deeply for my support over the years for the group Roxy Music. I had no idea [about] their singer.”
12. David and Victoria Beckham
“I’d… have the Peckhams (Beckhams) dragged to the edge of the village and flogged because they are insufferable to anyone of intelligence, and they actively chase the paparazzi.” Lovely.
13. Lady Gaga
" Lady Gaga was “nothing new. her style “fraudulent, and the exact opposite of erotic.”
14. Jamie Oliver
(Ian West/PA)
“If Jamie ‘Orrible is so certain that flesh-food is tasty then why doesn’t he stick one of his children in a microwave?
15. Robert Smith
(Zak Hussein/PA)
"Robert Smith is “a whingebag”.
16. Richard Madeley
“He referred to me as an ‘insufferable puffed-up prat’. This is a bit rich coming from a man who actually married his own mother.”
