Oh dear - you just don't get it, do you? I'll try and explain again.
Back in the 80's, Steve did indeed spout a lot of controversial stuff. But it was controversial in a good way (at least as far as the people who were drawn to him were concerned). He hated Thatcher, he hated the royals, he hated the meat industry, Reagan, McDonalds, the Tories. He hated all the things that any decent person also hated, and expressed his feelings in an articulate way. It only helped to enhance and strengthen the cult of Morrissey.
Now he is doing the absolute opposite. An idiotic love song to Israel (oh my god), public support for a racist violent w***er (Johnny Robinson or whatever the ghastly c***'s name is), an official endorsement of a political party for the first time in his life, but for a far right party - a pro-nuclear, pro vastly increased military expenditure, climate change denying party, opposed to any redistribution of income. WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING?
He's hemorrhaging fans left, right and centre. Even celebrity fans who have sung his praises (and even sung songs about him) have come out and opposed him. For the first time in his life, Johnny Marr has publicly said that he disagrees with Morrissey - 'Of course I disagree with him'.
Steve has announced two tiny dates at provincial theatres (capacity 2,000) on a mini tour, and even they haven't sold out. Everything is crumbling.
And if you really think this is just business as usual for Morrissey, you are an absolute idiot.
