Morrisey for many years has been that bloke who used to be a famous singer but is now a twat. Since leaving The Smiths he has mostly focused on being irritating and coming out with stupid comments. In a spectacular comment about the death of Sinead O’Connor he has people agreeing with him.
Over the years Morrisey has made a pillock of himself by coming out with some cringeworthy comments. He had become the music industries embarrassing racist and misogynistic uncle that no-one invites to family occasions any more.
Following the tragic death of Irish singer Sinead O’Connor there have been lots of expressions of condolence from people in the music industry. In response he has commented on his website…
“There is a certain music industry hatred for singers who don’t ‘fit in’ (this I know only too well), and they are never praised until death – when, finally, they can’t answer back […] You praise her now ONLY because it is too late. You hadn’t the guts to support her when she was alive and she was looking for you.

These doesn’t mean people like Morrisey now. It just means that on this occasion he has managed to say something that isn’t offensive and stupid. Something that people can agree with. Over the years he has come out with some corkers, including…
On dance music
“It’s the refuge for the mentally deficient. It’s made by dull people for dull people.”
You’d think he’s never been out for a good night with friends. Oops, forgot he doesn’t have any.
Jamie Oliver
“If animal serial killer Jamie Oliver feels so passionate about including ‘kid meat’ (young goat) into the human diet, would he consider putting forth one of his own kids (children) for general consumption?”
“If Jamie ‘Orrible is so certain that flesh-food is tasty then why doesn’t he stick one of his children in a microwave? It would taste the same as cooked lamb.”
Brexit
He has been xenophobic for a while as witnessed by his songs “The National Front Disco,” “Bengali In Platforms,” and “This Is Not Your Country”.
“As for Brexit, the result was magnificent, but it is not accepted by the BBC or Sky News because they object to a public that cannot be hypnotised [sic] by BBC or Sky nonsense.”
Chinese
“Did you see the thing on the news about their treatment of animals and animal welfare?” … “Absolutely horrific, You can’t help but feel that the Chinese are a subspecies.”
Reggae
It is vile, he said. He also called it the most racist music in the entire world. “It’s an absolute total glorification of black supremacy.”
Immigration
“England is a memory now,” he said. “The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in.”
There are many more covering Royalty, Thatcher, Elton John and Bob Geldof. He has a particular dislike for female singers and has taken pops at Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Madonna. Not short on modesty he has declared that “I’m not very good at being dull”, but superb at being a knob. He also believes “I think I must be, absolutely, a total sex object. In every sense of the word”. Well a sex object can be considered a tool so not wrong there.
