Dear Skinny, please can you post a quote off Morrissey where he said that he likes Tommy Robinson, what he said about TR was, that it was wrong what happened to him, TR was whisked away, found guilty and sentenced quicker than Guy Fawkes ever was, by the way I notice that the cameraman from the BBC who filmed the raid on Cliffs' house was never arrested or the people taking pictures/filming outside court when Rolf Harris appeared, oh let me guess, they don't count because they were white men so it is ok to film them, I await your posting of the Morrissey quote, best regards, Manc Lad

DEAR SKINNY, YOU APPEAR TO HAVE NOT POSTED THIS MORRISSEY QOUTE WHICH WOULD BACK UP YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT MOZ SUPPORTING TOMMY ROBINSON.. WE ALL KNOW HE NEVER SAID THAT HE SUPPORTS HIM.. MAYBE YOU CAN PROVE YOUR STATEMENT AND SURPRISE ME, BRGDS.. MANC LAD

I was just musing on the fact you wanted people to take your word about things when you’ve died and returned here twice, and your Third Coming was quite an elaborate tale even sending some worried Solo-ers off into the Stygian depths of the Swedish Ice Hockey leagues. Jesus has quite a following who still hang on his every word, but He only came back from the dead once.

That said, Urbanus, as you know I’m genuinely pleased to see your latest resurrection. Now, if only we could breathe some life into the much missed Irregular Regular.

I think IR changed his nickname or something but not sure, maybe Moz's political views sent him into meltdown?

I am glad I spread some knowledge on the great club Skellefteå AIK.

LOL

 

[URBANUS]

Do I owe you something? Do you think I must follow some kind of editorial line of thought to fulfill your expectations? Unlike you, I'm the same person here.

And how boring that is. You should dribble more like Messi.

 

[URBANUS]

I'm talking about exactly what I said. Poor people having to make do with crap public services and then being labelled racist when they resent seeing them stretched even further. Rich politicians should be put on trial for inciting racism for allowing this situation to occur. This duty of care applies to those coming here as much as the rest of us.

There was a time when skinny's insults were effective and people cared but then we all found out his own political legacy filled with scandal and ridicule and we all lost the little amount of respect we had for him.

This ongoing political saga with Morrissey is a battle he can never win of course and the outcome is inevitable. Creating scandal is always a way to remain interesting and maybe skinny's band could have learned from it?

 

[Irish blood Irish heart]

The f*** are you talking about?

Let me put it into language you’ll understand, “f*** off you fascist nazi scum c***”

You’re wasting your time, there’s no point trying to talk sense to someone who doesn’t have any

The "Low In High School" World Tour has been Morrissey’s most successful tour to date, having achieved record business for the artist in both the U.S. and the UK.

I think that statement says it all Morrissey is still very popular on both sides of the Atlantic.

Morrissey's manager Peter Katsis, of Deckstar Management, explained that Dave Haslam was never a Morrissey fan and said that he has an agenda. It is good to know that Morrissey has a good management team behind him.

I have crying about this because I don't want this to put Morrissey off coming to the UK in the future. I believe there are many in the UK who still love Morrissey. I still think that Morrissey is a good man.

I don't totally agree with Morrissey about the British Royal family in that I don't want to get rid of the Royals totally because I'm frightened with what they will be replaced with like a President? I'm not a true Royalist I'm just indifferent about them.

I agree with Morrissey on some of his views. I'm glad that we still have freedom of speech (of sorts) in Britain.

I think that Morrissey was right to speak out about the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan. In my view this isn't really to do with Sadiq Khan's voice/accent or the way that he speaks it's to do with what is going on in London. I don't think that so far Sadiq Khan has done a good job as Mayor of London. Since Sadiq Khan has become the Mayor of London violent crime has gone up a lot in London like shootings, stabbings and gang culture. Sadly, the victims are often very young men and teenagers! I just hope that Sadiq Khan is able to fight the building of the third runway at Heathrow airport but I have my doubts. I'm very against the third runway at Heathrow airport. The environment (air quality) and sound pollution in London is getting worse and worse. Also there are more homeless on the streets of London these days.

The fact that Morrissey doesn't support the "Me Too" movement doesn't bother me at all. I'm a woman and I don't support this movement either. It just seems to be a movement for the more privileged elite women like Hollywood actresses rather than normal, everyday women and it all seems to revolve around 'Twitter'. I don't understand 'Twitter'. This doesn't mean that Morrissey is sexist or misogynistic in anyway. I know that Morrissey treats women with much respect I think much more than a lot of men do. I'm sure that Morrissey is totally against violence towards women and the sexual abuse of women. At onetime Morrissey got labeled as a 'male feminist'.

I also don't understand why people like Dave Haslam are trying to imply that Morrissey is xenophobic, racist and Islamophobic. Morrissey has actually spoken out against racism!! I'm against Islamic extremism (terrorism) in Britain. I think Morrissey is just trying to speak out about it that is all.

I'm a born-again, Bible-believing Christian. I'm not a 'Roman Catholic' I don't support that system. I'm not a Calvinist (follower of John Calvin) either. So I'm not a 'Protestant' in that sense. Calvinism/Reformed/Presbyterian are basically the same thing and I'm not part of that. Arminianism which is named after Jacobus Arminius is the opposite of Calvinism and I'm not part of that either. I'm a follower of Lord Jesus Christ! I like the King James Bible (1611 version) best I go to an independent Baptist church.

I'm against the Roman Catholic Church system (and the Jesuits), Islamic extremism, Communism, Fascism and the New Age Movement (which came out of the 'New Thought' Movement). What people might not know is that the New Age Movement and New Age spirituality is now part of the 'United Nations' (UN) that is why I'm now wary of the United Nations.

I support the Jewish State of Israel like Morrissey does. I wouldn't call myself a 'Zionist' though and I'm not part of the elite. I don't support violence on either side.

I like that Morrissey has compassion for animals and that he cares about animal welfare.

I'm sure that Morrissey is totally against paedophilia and all forms of child abuse. I really hate child abuse in all it's forms. I think that Morrissey was abused or molested in some way when he was a child that will make him more against it.

I'm confused about this whole 'far-right' and 'alt-right' thing because when you look into these political groups and people that Morrissey supports you find that they are not 'far-right' in the traditional sense. They are just against Islamic extremism in Britain and against the Islamisation of Britain and the Western world and they care about animal welfare and freedom of speech.

Dave Haslam has accused Morrissey of being like Donald Trump. Others are saying Morrissey is like Katie Hopkins. Who cares? I'm not a Trump supporter but some of what says makes sense. I know that Donald Trump has some support within the Christian community.

I support the Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems) we are actually in favour of staying in the EU. I'm sick of how this 'Brexit' thing has divided Britain. I'm guessing that Morrissey is in favour of 'Brexit' but I don't know that for sure. My Christian faith is much more important to me than worldly politics is!

I love soul music mainly from the 1960s and 1970s and some reggae like 'Roots' reggae so I might be different to Morrissey in that way.

I don't like the other former members of The Smiths. I used to think that Johnny Marr was alright but in more recent times I don't like what he has been saying about Moz. Andy Rourke and his former manager Nova Rehman really frighten me. Some might not be aware of the Manchester singer Rowetta but I know that she has hatred for Morrissey and that she can be rude at times. I believe that Dave Haslam is also part of that nasty, elitist indie rock/alternative rock scene in Manchester.

Morrissey still sings great songs and his new album is amazing! His music is better than ever in my view. I also like Elvis Presley and some others.

Morrissey might not be a Christian but he has support within the Christian community. There are Christians that are praying for him.

What utter bollocks. You voted UKIP, didn't you?

 

[SuedeMoz]

I have a hard time believing that LIHS set any records in the US. It can't be based on sales and due to the minimal touring he did - it can't be based on that either.

ENJOY THE SUMMER SKINNY!

I must have read this comment about ten times in different threads. I'd expect somebody who professes to be a Christian to be opposed to people hating on others not throwing your support behind them. Maybe you're more Old Testament?

Not sure about that, I have mentioned on many posts that I grew up in Burnley. In my class of 23 there were 7 kids from asian families, guess how many followed the Muslim faith, it was 2, the other 5 went clubbing and did everything else the youths from Burnley did at the time including watching the magnificent Burnley FC!! It may not be represent the rest of the UK but when I worked and managed some building projects in Glasgow some of the Asian lads lived just like any other Glaswegian.

A quote from the Independent

British people were especially far from the mark when asked what proportion of the UK population is Muslim. The real answer is just one in twenty – but Britons believe it to be almost one in six. That would mean there were almost 10 million Muslims in the UK when in reality there are 2.8 million.

Those numbers are going up and will carry on going up significantly.

I also don't understand why people like Dave Haslam are trying to imply that Morrissey is xenophobic, racist and Islamophobic. Morrissey has actually spoken out against racism!! I'm against Islamic extremism (terrorism) in Britain. I think Morrissey is just trying to speak out about it that is all.

I'm a born-again, Bible-believing Christian. I'm not a 'Roman Catholic' I don't support that system. I'm not a Calvinist (follower of John Calvin) either. So I'm not a 'Protestant' in that sense. Calvinism/Reformed/Presbyterian are basically the same thing and I'm not part of that. Arminianism which is named after Jacobus Arminius is the opposite of Calvinism and I'm not part of that either. I'm a follower of Lord Jesus Christ! I like the King James Bible (1611 version) best I go to an independent Baptist church.

I'm against the Roman Catholic Church system (and the Jesuits), Islamic extremism, Communism, Fascism and the New Age Movement (which came out of the 'New Thought' Movement). What people might not know is that the New Age Movement and New Age spirituality is now part of the 'United Nations' (UN) that is why I'm now wary of the United Nations.

I support the Jewish State of Israel like Morrissey does. I wouldn't call myself a 'Zionist' though and I'm not part of the elite. I don't support violence on either side.

I like that Morrissey has compassion for animals and that he cares about animal welfare.

I'm sure that Morrissey is totally against paedophilia and all forms of child abuse. I really hate child abuse in all it's forms. I think that Morrissey was abused or molested in some way when he was a child that will make him more against it.

I'm confused about this whole 'far-right' and 'alt-right' thing because when you look into these political groups and people that Morrissey supports you find that they are not 'far-right' in the traditional sense. They are just against Islamic extremism in Britain and against the Islamisation of Britain and the Western world and they care about animal welfare and freedom of speech.

Dave Haslam has accused Morrissey of being like Donald Trump. Others are saying Morrissey is like Katie Hopkins. Who cares? I'm not a Trump supporter but some of what says makes sense. I know that Donald Trump has some support within the Christian community.

I support the Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems) we are actually in favour of staying in the EU. I'm sick of how this 'Brexit' thing has divided Britain. I'm guessing that Morrissey is in favour of 'Brexit' but I don't know that for sure. My Christian faith is much more important to me than worldly politics is!

I love soul music mainly from the 1960s and 1970s and some reggae like 'Roots' reggae so I might be different to Morrissey in that way.

I don't like the other former members of The Smiths. I used to think that Johnny Marr was alright but in more recent times I don't like what he has been saying about Moz. Andy Rourke and his former manager Nova Rehman really frighten me. Some might not be aware of the Manchester singer Rowetta but I know that she has hatred for Morrissey and that she can be rude at times. I believe that Dave Haslam is also part of that nasty, elitist indie rock/alternative rock scene in Manchester.

Morrissey still sings great songs and his new album is amazing! His music is better than ever in my view. I also like Elvis Presley and some others.

Morrissey might not be a Christian but he has support within the Christian community. There are Christians that are praying for him.

Well said. Yes. Only thing Id like to add, that its no surprise has a huge following here.
Mediocrities attract like bad blue fungus. The fing guy doesnt know how to play a 1o second

I have a hard time believing that LIHS set any records in the US. It can't be based on sales and due to the minimal touring he did - it can't be based on that either.

I don’t know. Those two stadium dates in la sold a lot of tickets alone and some were expensive. What other tour in the u.s do you think sold more tickets or made more money
