When Morrissey Makes You Look Like a Pussy.

Morrissey back in the day was known for somewhat upbeat music about being very, very sad. Very sad. To the point that several comedians used that for fodder. This is of course as opposed to Robert Smith of the Cure and downbeat music about being so, very very sad.

So, when Morrissey is calling people out for being a bunch of pussies...

Celebrating my birthday in Manchester as news of the Manchester Arena bomb broke. The anger is monumental.

For what reason will this ever stop?

Theresa May says such attacks "will not break us", but her own life is lived in a bullet-proof bubble, and she evidently does not need to identify any young people today in Manchester morgues. Also, "will not break us" means that the tragedy will not break her, or her policies on immigration. The young people of Manchester are already broken - thanks all the same, Theresa. Sadiq Khan says "London is united with Manchester", but he does not condemn Islamic State - who have claimed responsibility for the bomb. The Queen receives absurd praise for her 'strong words' against the attack, yet she does not cancel today's garden party at Buckingham Palace - for which no criticism is allowed in the Britain of free press. Manchester mayor Andy Burnham says the attack is the work of an "extremist". An extreme what? An extreme rabbit?

In modern Britain everyone seems petrified to officially say what we all say in private. Politicians tell us they are unafraid, but they are never the victims. How easy to be unafraid when one is protected from the line of fire. The people have no such protections.

Back in the day I was more of a Cure fan than the Smiths/Morrissey, but he had singing chops.

It also looks like he's managed to grow up a bit. That said, given his sexuality, perhaps he, like Milo, is a little more aware of who most wants to kill him.
