Glory Glory Hallelujah!

Really quite disingenuous of the NME the way that is written. It is obvious that the singer hasn't said anything or expressed any thoughts about Morrissey's views.

Hard to whittle it down. Here goes (in no particular order): This Charming Man What Difference Does It Make? Rusholme Ruffians Well I Wonder The Queen Is Dead There Is A Light Death of a Disco Dancer Last Night I Dreamt I Won't Share You Rubber Ring Shoplifters of the World Now My Heart Is...

Civil War. Really enjoyed this. A big fan of Alex Garland. Ex Machina and Men were excellent. In some ways a more US and up to date companion-piece to Banshees of Inisherin. A vision of what happens when people stop being civil to each other. And it gets ugly. The movie starts off slowly but the...

Wicked Little Letters. I could watch anything with Olivia Coleman. She's great. This movie is ok. It's based on a true story that apparently gripped England in the 1920s, the decade that came after the Suffragette campaign before World War I that culminated in the Representation of the People...

Malarkey is one of the worst culprits of that, goinghome, although you seem to turn a blind eye to it when she does it. I think most of us are fairly tolerant of the worst of her obsessiveness - as Lawrence Sterne put it, "even the wisest, not excepting Solomon himself, had their whims and their...

Yes, unfortunately, that is probably very true. Pushing this ideology on children has several objectives. If you want to create 'patients' who have to stay on 'treatment' for the rest of their lives, get them while they are young. The profit margins are just so much better. Children are also the...

No. Maybe this is a gift. An opportunity to stop, look at yourself in the mirror, and re-evaluate your life?

So, there is basically about 90% of the population who is 'gender critical'. That means they think that trans people deserve compassion and respect, but you can't change biological sex. And biological sex matters when it comes to safe spaces for women and women's sports. In that 90% are many...

No. I'm Irish. But I speak Portuguese. Have visited Brazil many times. Love the country and the people. As a country it has its problems - but what country doesn't.

Great words from Mr Cave. All those names joined that list of great artists when they were quite young. Morrissey was no exception. It is tempting to ask, where are the younger artists coming along now to add to that list? There is no new artist I can think of currently that would come near...

Yes, you are correct that I have often suggested in my posts that words ending in - ist and -ism and -phobic are vague and over-used. Especially when the word 'systemic' is added before them. But I have never, and would never, suggest that there is no such thing as prejudice. Prejudice is very...

Bem vindo!

God, if that happened to me, I would be a jabbering mess, incapable of coherent speech. This man is royalty to me - a hero in every sense of the word. All those times laid in awe on the bedroom floor. I think meeting him in the flesh would almost be painful.

Yes, the production on RWA was odd. Is that what he meant by 'sabotage'?
