Oh Good, did you miss the Spice Girls?Tim is fronting James tonight and playing to 50,000 people in Heaton Park Manchester.
To be fair, Tommy Morrissey is alone and watching a Terrance Stamp film from 1959 tonight and having a great time. Let’s face it, he’s number 1 in Jubrovia or whatever shit he’s making up today, so he’s bound to be chuffed. But well done James! Hope they have a great one tonight.Tim is fronting James tonight and playing to 50,000 people in Heaton Park Manchester.
A Great Beef Broth no doubt, served up by the vegetarian activist Tim Booth,To be fair, Tommy Morrissey is alone and watching a Terrance Stamp film from 1959 tonight and having a great time.

First responses on twitter - he really needs to shut the f*** up.
- Nobody banned you from wearing your little badge ffs. You were granted the freedom to wear it and others have the freedom to call you a dick for doing so.
Who hurt Morrissey?
Morrissey did
You do have the freedom to wear the badge, just deal with the consequences when you
You were free to wear it. And you did wear it. We’re now free to take you at your word.
- When you support Fascists don’t be surprised when they rest of us ‘don’t get it’.
- No one has prohibited you from doing it. We’re just calling you out for being a bit dodgy politically
LOL! He’s not and has NEVER been a song-writer. He was a great singer and lyricist, backed by some VERY talented, song-writing musicians - once upon a time. Those days are LONG over.
WTF?? having an episode at the shuffle board garden???
Good songwriting is ACTION not WORDS!
Who’s the f***ing “cry baby snowflake”?Freedom to disagree and criticise, yes. Freedom to pull down posters because one cry baby snowflake spastic doesn't share his opinions? No bloody way.
Yes. Pretty well every Smiths tune Johnny wrote is timeless.His music will last a lot longer than your post will.
Vegetarians, in the gross and scope of history, are as insignificant as farts in the wind.I will amend this post, by myself of course. Tim Booth is not of any significance, apologies for stating that he was. Any vegetarian who consumes beef is insignificant, I think?
Morrissey missed them by 7 spots on the UK charts.Oh Good, did you miss the Spice Girls?
freedom of speech should never mean freedom to abuse.
That’s what this tweet is all about.
Seems no one else here understands that.
For example, Noel Gallagher doesn’t agree with Morrissey’s views, but Noel respects
that everyone should be allowed to have their opinions without being hounded with the aim to crucify.
Tolerance and understanding, seems to be a rare thing these days.
Before anyone downvotes my post to disrespect my opinion, pause and ask.. did I downvote your opinion?
I’ve already stated in my post that he is being hounded, rather than having his opinions respected as all opinions should be respected from anyone, even if you disagree.
you boring! something Morrissey will never be.
I’m sorry, but, I don’t feel that what the Guardian has been doing can be called challenging his views.
Who does he have around him? You think Jesse is shaping Morrissey’s views? lol. Anyway, I don’t think that’s important to this thread.
Yeah - because that’s how you lot behave when someone disagrees with the whingy, narcissistic drivel that seeps from Morrissey’s pouty mouth.
That’s what this tweet is all about.

If you wanna exercise your freedom of speech by tweeting “poor me” bullshit, you can expect an equal or greater response.It’s worded poorly enough to be Morrissey.
As I said in my first post, that people are not understanding that tweet.
Which is not really about having the freedom to say or do things, but having the freedom to say or do and have those opinions or actions be respected and not be hounded/abused for them.
Yah I didn't mean it. I am slightly pissed that I used that word. But... you can't strive to always be politically correct all the time. Sometimes we say things the wrong way.You see, your mistake there is conflating my abuse, when I want to do it, with your use of a pejorative term for someone who cannot change who they are. I know when I want to abuse people. I also know that using disabled people as an insult is not right, just as it's not right to use someone's skin colour or sexuality. You used a disability as an insult.
I'm also going to wager a bet that you actually don't mean it, and you're pissed.
You're such a wuss you don't even dare to admit it. You are so far from being able to use violence in real life you shouldn't even think about it cause the end result would be a major clean up.Can you point to where i mention violence?
