That Hitler comment was incredible; especially considering that Hitler was known for his vegetarianism, and for his murderous hatred of immigrants and "others."
Hitler championed Morrissey's two pet issues. In fact, there doesn't appear to be any other issues that Morrissey is interested in, so that makes the relationship even more distinct.
Morrissey's own logic leads him to being compared to Hitler, and he doesn't see the irony. No self-awareness.
"Personal accounts from people who knew Hitler and were familiar with his diet indicate that he did not consume meat as part of his diet during this period, with several contemporaneous witnesses—such as
Albert Speer (in his memoirs,
Inside the Third Reich)—noting that Hitler used vivid and gruesome descriptions of animal suffering and slaughter at the dinner table to try to dissuade his colleagues from eating meat. An examination of Hitler's remains carried out by French scientists in 2017 found no traces of meat fibre in the tartar on Hitler's teeth."

Of course, this is exactly what Britain First, a neo-nazi splinter group promotes as well. The group was founded by a former member of the BNP, Jim Dawson, who was kicked out of the BNP for assaulting a woman. He then quit Britain First in 2014 because he said they were refusing to stop trying to intimidate innocent Muslims. The party was founded as an anti-Muslim, anti-abortion, Pro Christianity party, and Dowson himself is a committed homophobe.
Yeah, I know. You can't make this shit up. Each time one of them gets knocked off, they claim that it was actually the previous group who was too racist for them, and that's why they left to form their new group that only seems more aggressive. It's happened with UKIP, BNP, and Britain First, and Marie Le Pen's The National Front, which has now been rebranded with a name that references its Nazi past: "Rassemblement National Populaire"
All of these groups are xenophobic, and racist splinter groups who make various attempts to repackage their agenda.
Also, Morrissey championed Brexit, which would actually do more harm to farm animals. The E.U. advanced many of the current animal welfare laws meant to reduce farm animal suffering. Britain's exit would end those laws, and it would be up to conservative British lawmakers to further that agenda. In other words, animal welfare in Britain would revert to previous standards, with many conservative lawmakers seeking to further erode even those standards.
Morrissey is gullible, and his intentions tend to be fueled by impulsive resentment. He only digs his hole deeper because he's like any other aged, out of touch person: Easily provoked, and manipulated by his own biases in a world that is looking increasing unfamiliar to him.[/QUOT
If you want to talk about racist splinter groups, let's talk about Labour.
£37:50 great value for money and no hostile nutters fighting for piece of Shit. Even better Tim Booth threw himself into the crowd and surfed over us whilst singing. Hope you had as good a time in Halifax.
