Being from the States caused me to not be poltically aware at the time. I was just loving Morrissey's voice !

Well, they came around to his house and interviewed him and he included the incident in "He Knows I'd Love To See Him".

I wonder what that interview was like

Policeman: Mozzer, did you write this song about Margaret?

Mozzer: Yes. Well, Stephen helped with the music, but yes, essentially it was me

Policeman: Right, that's what the instruction booklet that came with the record says, too. Just wanted to make sure our facts were straight

Policeman #2: Any chance you could autograph my copy of Viva Hate, Mozzer?

Mozzer: I don't see why no...HEY! IS THAT f***ING HOLSTER MADE OUT OF LEATHER??!!
