Kathy Burke's recent views on Morrissey

[Originally posted in the Strange/unexpected Moz references? thread.]

From Kathy Burke’s Wikipedia:

 

[Johnnie Ray]

Always thought Burke was massively overrated as an actor (one look, one voice, one persona). Comments like this, however, are clumsy but understandable when Morrissey went out of his way to back a far right political party. Not publicly retracting his ill-judged support for For Britain is the number one biggest mistake of his life.

Why would he retract something he believes? He is who he is.

Younger "handsome" Morrissey no longer exists. We live in the present so your point is moot.

im putting you on moot.

What was on is this badge? People are mad about a badge? It sounds like it must have killed some body, my goodness.

it only killed off the casual fans.

It is weak to infer that Kathy is not beautiful when your hero is clearly unattractive himself now. What's that saying about glass houses?

It's just a bit of banter, but you have to ruin peoples fun like a "bootleg" Uncle Skinny.

did it ever really exist? Even his passing interest in her couldn’t save it.

I probably should have told you that I love women and am against misogyny.

So, if Kathy was a man, then I'd be a man hater?

Haha. He wishes it only killed off casual fans! Hilarious! He can't get elected dog catcher now. He is persona non grata. You have a better chance getting a record deal.

Ironically enough it didn't kill off the casual fans.
The ones who were most obsessed with Morrissey were the ones who were most affected. Those who had constructed their own image around him such as Martin Rossiter, Stewart Lee and Uncle Skinny were the ones who were most aghast/sickened, and have felt obliged to distance themselves from (or publicly criticise) him the most.
Why? Because all their friends/family associate them with Morrissey, so when Morrissey supports the far right, it is assumed that his dedicated disciples do, too, hence their extreme reactions.
I'm a casual fan of groups like The Cure, New Order and Depeche Mode. Couldn't care less what the singer's politics are, never visit their websites, no friends or family associate me with them - if they say vote for some bigoted berk, I may not even hear about it (as just a casual fan).
So, it's some of his biggest fans that have decided to move on, not the casual ones.

I think it was the far right political scandal, associated with racism and Brexit, there are threads all over here about it if you are interested

Not how that works. Misogyny is hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. It is a form of sexism that can keep women at a lower social status than men. Do you believe that women operate at a higher social status than men?

This makes me sad, the room at Hook End where Moz had his Ouija Board, now just ruins. The passing of time.....

Sorry. They’re just casual fans to me.

Nah, it’s casual fans that believe the repeated clickbait.

It was a For Britain badge, a political movement set up by Anne Marie Waters

Depending on your political leaning, seeing Morrissey wear the badge and support AMW could make you mad! Or disappointed, or both and more.

You sound and act like a cult member. Sorry, it is pretty scary.

Casual fans aren't even seeing the clickbait. I've never seen a single piece of clickbait about The Cure or Depeche Mode, as I'm just not interested in them beyond attending the odd concert.
Presumably you don't consider Uncle Skinny to be a casual fan?
