[Closed] Morrissey Invokes Godwin's law, loses the internet

But he's soooo 'Edgy' 😉 🙄 Yawn (and I like some of his music too)

His opinions are about as relevant as his music.

His opinions are as relevant as anyone elses.

He's got a few good points, too actually.

Less relevant if he's speaking from his home in LA.

Smiths were great.

He's a noob

Has he got a record to sell at the moment?

Time he dried up and blew away.

He does make some perfectly valid points though as usual he does it in such a sanctimonious, miserable way that he will turn people off his message. He reminds me of some notable people on here who you can guarantee will say the opposite to everyone else so consistently that you can't help but feel that it's a conscious decision to do so.

I don't like the British focus that does seem to be creeping into the coverage - certainly more than I recall - though maybe that's a reflection that we're doing better so that there are good British performances to focus on.

I still love that we're doing brilliantly well though and take no issue with the happiness it brings to many people.

Ok let's grant him his wish, someone drive him into a lonely woodland and put him out of our misery. Was relevant years ago, now just a lingering embarrassment.

Morrissey was also heavily critical of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in June, comparing her reign to a dictatorship and describing the celebrations as "a new lesson in the force of tyranny".

Try living in Syria, then you'll understand the terms "dictatorship" and "tyranny"

He's such an utter cock. It's not even worth getting angry about, as it's nothing new: Morrissey whinging about fictional problems.

It's not even worth getting angry about

So why are you then?

the 2013 grotesque inevitability of Lord and Lady Beckham

I'm with him on that one.

Can't stand the bloke, never liked his "music" if that's what you could call it. Now he comes out with this - I think he's missing the limelight especially after all that crap he came out with about the Falklands too.

anyone elses aren't on Sky News.

Yes but plenty of people gushing about how great the olympics are, are all over the media. i see no problem with anyone having an alternative view.

I accept that this sort of attitude is unacceptable on here. In my defence, i'm new and in time, will hopefully learn the error of my ways.

Mike I don't think it's what you're saying that's the issue but rather how you say it. Presenting opinion as fact is never going to win friends.

He's stuck in the 6th form common room desperatly trying to be controversial, (although some of his comments are valid) but it's a bit sad really and smacks trying to be different just for the sake of it, and as a result pisses people off, Mike 😉

Hes starting to look desperate and quite sad.

Hes not the singer that he once was and those tshirts on stage were bad enough. Get a life. Last week they were giving away tickets for his concert as a 'free gift to fans'....right. Not because you had swathes of empty seats?

Presenting opinion as fact is never going to win friends.

It seems that presenting facts as facts isn't poplar on here either.

I fully believe he believes what he says. He's not desperately trying to be different. And it appears he's picked exactly the right moment to make the comments. There'd be no point making them in a few weeks when it's all forgotten would there?

I didn't read the CM discussion in enough detail to comment specifically on that MC. I wonder if everyone agrees that they are facts...

Really?

I just feel that he's a grumpy, reactionary old git who says things based on what reaction they'll get as a primary consideration. Maybe unfair but I just can't see it any other way no matter how fairly I try to consider it.

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO! When do we invade Poland then? 😀

Reactionary? That insults people who really are of that type.

I don't think hes even as deep as a puddle. I switched off after a certain point in his life. Hes a crooner now.

I like morrissey because he says what he thinks. And I reckon he makes some valid points, albeit in his own style which seems to be what people are focussing on rather than the message.

Apparently intelligent people being sucked in to an opinion formed on style rather than substance...

How boring.

Really?

No, I just said it for the hell if it.

Yes, really. When did Morrisey ever say anything cheerful, or did you miss the 80s and 90s? He's always been a grumpy anti-establishment type. He didn't suddenly become one because a few million have masturbated themselves into a froth over the Olympics.

My ironometer just exploded.

Yes, taken, but is he just getting crapper at it/ choosing less important issues to comment on?

It seems that presenting facts as facts isn't poplar on here either.

There are other forums, you know.

Shirley you have a Leprechaunmeter?

If I was Morrisey, and I wanted to make a point about how shite I think the Olympics are, I'd pick now to make it. If I wanted to make a point about anything else, I'd probably wait until GB was back into upcoming winter misery mode. I'm sure he'll make a few more pronouncements that will piss the likes of hora off because he might have to stop and think about things for a minute.

I should add that, I'm not a fan of his, nor do I agree with everything he has said about the Olympics.

We'll agree to disagree, eh, O'Darcy? 🙂

Fair enough Darcy, I don't know maybe it's me, but he does seem to be choosing his 'targets' less well over the last few years and coming across of more of a grumpy old man

I'm going to amend the following line

Morrissey, pop genius or ladygarden

to

Morrissey, crooner and ladygarden.

Ah bollocks, kisses for everyone, I'm just being a grumpy reactionary cock myself here.

I'm going to smile for the rest of the day. Even at hora and his closet racism. 🙂

No argue Damn you !! 😈 😉 this is STW don't you know!!

I haven't seen any goosestepping, book burning or jews being murdered yet. Danny boyle missed a trick for the opening ceremony IMO.

On a more serious note, the man is an activist who tells everyone else how to behave whilst carrying on like a spoilt rich brat, much like geldof and bono in that respect. I reckon if we are gonna turn into nazi germany over this he should be the first to be machine gunned into a mass grave.

Much as I love the Moz, as I admire being out-grumped by anyone, I doubt I'll be hanging off the words of an LA dwelling tax exile, property tycoon. I mean, if that were the case, we should all be listening to...

and 😆 at Flashy

I'm only racist against Teak cupboards. Pine cupboards rock.

Teakist!

Especially the rich coloured mahogancy ones, coming over here taking all our DVD and ornament space

Wouldn't have even noticed his latests grumbles if he hadn't gone Godwin and upset the interwebz police.
Maybe he knows how to play the modern media game more than he lets on.

As I recently drove through Greece...
