A LARKS’ TONGUE IN APRIL.

conversation with Morrissey,

April 2019, by Sam Esty Rayner.

*we apologize for the delay in printing this interview.

Excerpt:

"sam:
You cancelled 6 shows in Italy because of the incident. People are beginning to think your middle name is Cancellation.

M:
I know. But, as far as I can see, many bands cancel and nothing is ever said about it. The song and dance made about my cancellations is usually from people who wouldn’t go to the concert in the first place.

sam:
But you will play the Canada dates?

M:
Yes.

sam:
Is your hand bad? Obviously it’s covered.

M:
The stitches are out now but if I had shaken anyone’s hand last week blood would have spurted. That’s not a nice greeting.

sam:
I don’t think anyone ever believes that you’re ill, or that you fell, or whatever.

M:
I know. Generally colds and flu are passed on to me, and there’s nothing you can do when your voice is your instrument. I go to abnormal lengths to avoid colds."

'If my child had been killed at Manchester Arena I wouldn't be lighting candles and swaying. I'd be in a complete rage.'

His Mozjesty makes a valid point.

I'd strap on an AK and go into full Liam Neeson mode...

[gordyboy9]

hello,17 pages of dung,goodbye.
will try again tomorrow night.

 

[Eric Hartman]

He is saying that the people that participated in the tribute weren't angry enough. What sort of event would have seemed a good way to express this rage, I wonder?

That is not what he is saying. It’s not about participating in some event, it’s about YOUR KID IN BLOODY PIECES on the floor. I would be livid. Seething with anger.

 

[ForgotHowIGotMyName]

When someone says "so what you're saying is" as opposed to "so are you saying," they really do not care what you are saying. Their mind is made up.

Or it could mean that I have been talking about this shit for years and there's not an argument in the world that I have not heard a million times before and as such, I can often articulate what people are trying to say better than they can.

The ISS orbits the Earth sixteen times a day. How many nights pass in twenty-four hours?

You are not as smart as you think you are. You say things that might sound kinda smart to a dumb person but are actually nonsensical non-arguments when you really think about them.

 

[Eric Hartman]

Given that his child wasn't killed at Manchester Arena, trying to tell people whose children were how they ought to feel about it just makes him an enormous twat. Again.

Nice. So you don’t believe in empathy? That makes you the enormous twat, doesn’t it?

 

[Cornflakes]

Iirc, Morrissey was mainly angry at Sadiq Khan, for some strange reason.

 

[Cornflakes]

Nice. So you don’t believe in empathy? That makes you the enormous twat, doesn’t it?

Not sure how imposing your own feelings onto someone else and mocking how they choose to respond to their own personal tragedy counts as empathy.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Nice. So you don’t believe in empathy? That makes you the enormous twat, doesn’t it?

To be fair, we have to remember, Morrissey is a bit selective in who or what events he empathizes with. Though, if one were to empathize with an animal rights activist then it may be
possible to understand that point of view, but still.

 

[reelfountain]

It's interesting how the very people who vociferously insist that "race doesn't matter" are always those who choose the whitest areas to live in. Billy Bragg for example, who originates from Barking in East London. When he grew up there it was white. Now that it's a "vibrant diverse area" (i.e a high crime black shithole) he chooses to live in one of the 'officially healthiest' and whitest areas of the country: Dorset (in a mansion of course).

Take the metropolitan media class who are forever lecturing us plebs about the wonders of diversity (and how any criticism of it is an evil racist act). Caitlin Moran chooses to live in a multi million pound house in Crouch End - an area so white and trendy you will rarely spot a foreign face. David Baddeil also likes to preach it but not live it: he chooses the tranquil Jewish delights of Hampstead Garden Suburb (no non-whites welcome).

Many others who work for the BBC etc. choose the white delights of Chiswick, Richmond or Barnes... yet these are the very people who insist Morrissey is a racist for stating facts (that for them in particular are obviously uncomfortable).

 

[Anonymous]

I find Trump very atractive.

 

[Anonymous]

Celebrating differences is ok as long as you don't mention race. Oprah had show after show about there being no races until she herself said race in a show.

It's hard to read the script (((they))) are writing and keeping to it.

 

[Anonymous]

In other news free speech was banned by the courts of Eskilstuna in Sweden today where the ruling was that someone responsible for a website or forum must have control on every single post and if a post is against the hate laws the person in charge will be found guilty not the poster.

David better think twice about the direction of this forum.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Not sure how imposing your own feelings onto someone else and mocking how they choose to respond to their own personal tragedy counts as empathy.

Don’t know how you read it that way, but I believe it’s a matter of say.. putting yourself in the others shoes and saying how he would feel if he was in their place.

Given that his child wasn't killed at Manchester Arena, trying to tell people whose children were how they ought to feel about it just makes him an enormous twat. Again.

Where does he tell those parents how they ought to feel about it?

So, what you've noticed is that wealthier people tend to live in nicer houses and be disproportionately white. I hope you're writing this stuff down somewhere for when you inevitably get made a professor of sociology.

These wealthy people do not practise what they preach to the rest of us - those they view as plebs. If they enjoy 'vibrant diversity' so much they should try living in it. If not they should shut up about it - but they don't.

These are the very people whose friendship groups are 100% white yet they would say Morrissey is a racist for stating that people prefer to socialise with their own race.

It's massive hypocrisy as it's the media class who are Morrissey's biggest enemies.

Skin tone is an evolutionary adaptation. White people have light skin because northern climates get less sunlight and so white people evolved lighter skin so as to better absorb sunlight for vitamin D. This kicked into high gear when Europeans switch from hunter/gatherer diet to an agrarian diet which is lower in vitamin D. This is also why white people have higher levels of lactose tolerance: we started drinking animal's milk for the vitamin D.

The fact that we have different skin tones is in fact evidence of our evolutionary divergence.

I feel sorry for people like you because the truth is so much more fascinating than your delusions. It's depressing f*** but fascinating as hell.

It is fascinating isn't it? Over thousands of years of evolution different humans have diverged over that time due to factors such as diet and living conditions to develop distinct differences. Whether it be skin colour, hair colour, bone density, height/weight etc. And in doing so have developed different languages, different diets, different cultural customs. However the only thing that couldn't have possibly changed is a divergence in IQ between ethnicities. Because......................racizm or whateva.

I'll tell you what though, for those arguing that studies such as Charles Murray's are an example of white supremacy, well maybe they might like to think again. The study has Ashkenazi Jews and Asians at the top of the overall curve. Wow, that's two ethnic groups of colour beating the white man into a lowly third place. Yikes! Well as the 'Acceptable Face of Racism' as I have have been accused of being, I better denounce this study pronto and look for a new one that better supports White Supremacy

Most folks don’t walk the talk, especially if you have money.

 

[reelfountain]

No IQ studies are necessary.

The celebration of idiocy that is rap music tells anyone all they need to know IQ wise...

 

[reelfountain]

Most folks don’t walk the talk, especially if you have money.

That's fair enough, but in Britain it is this class that does the most pontificating and preaching...

We call them the loveys.

They're clueless and moneyed and they're the people slagging off Moz in the Guardian, on Twitter and Facebook etc.
