I haven't managed to read all the stuff posted in the last few days but I've seen quite a lot about Morrissey's comments on Nigel Farage and immigration (think he was criticising Theresa May's record). You could easily get the impression from this (and the media more generally) that Morrissey is some kind of unhinged right-wing lunatic.
It's worth pointing out that he came out firmly in favour of Bernie Sanders in the US election, he has recently offered praise for left-wing maverick George Galloway, and has also been pretty positive about Jeremy Corbyn.
I would suggest that he is just pretty muddled when it comes to politics but he's always been opposed to the Conservatives whether it was expressed through Margaret on the Guillotine, Glamorous Glue or his most recent comments about Theresa May and fox hunting, and David Cameron before her.
If Morrissey is keen to comment on politics more widely, he really needs a critical friend to discuss things with before publicly airing his views whether on TTy or FB. Otherwise, I just wish he'd push on with recording the new album.
