    This snow isn't funny anymore

    Now my hearth is full Southpole I know very well how to de-ice the drain We'll let you snow Used to be a sneeze boy Will Never tarry My dearest plow Striptease with a shudder The edges are no longer visible I've changed my skis, too filthy Garden Path Air Disaster 2010 Every Day is...

    Preston has to hand it to Morrissey

    Oh for the love of God. There is nothing more pathetic than a Morrissey fan who thinks he can decide who else is worthy to be a Morrissey fan. If this Preston character (whoever he is) wants to love Morrissey, then he can, and it's none of your f***ing business - he's got as much call to it as...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    What, Denmark is run by the corporations? :) This is a social democratic welfare state we're talking about. You can't just extend an analysis of the US to the rest of the modernised world. And of course reform is possible, what are you talking about? Cuts in services and education is a...

    Your points are unassailable. Unfortunately. What to do.

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    Absolutely. One cannot rule out specific methods and means as such (unless they are inherently reprehensible), their appropriateness depends on the situation. They didn'ty accomplish anything because they didn't offer anything. They offered no comprehensible analysis, no reasonable...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    No they aren't. All kids are not narcissists. Kids are capable of genuine idealism, empathy and sense. To an amazing degree actually. My job frequently brings me into contact with NGOs and associations that are run by youngsters, and I have to say I often come away very impressed on all three...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    Oh, please, don't make me laugh. "Acting against the system"? Oh, you mean the one that currently makes Denmark one of the best 3-5 countries in the world to live in? Obviously that has to go, in favor of, er, something that isn't "consumerism". "Against consumerism", right. What does that...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    No, because there are vastly fewer needy, and also because the government provides for them.

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    Me neither, and it's a shame, because he deserves prophetic status. You can practically deduce the future existence of reality shows from his analysis. :) On identity politics and the personal being political, I understand very well your points. But for my part I have always been sceptical to...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    That's laws. You can't make them so that they always lead to the optimal decision in every conceivable eventuality. It's just not possible. There is of course no easy answer to the question you pose. I suppose each must answer it to her- or himself, if they are in a position to do so...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    There was some breaking in required to get the food, if I remember correctly? Super markets are presumably not allowed to give away out of date food because of safety and health regulations. As annoying as these are, they are actually there to protect you and me, and are probably on the whole...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    Anesthesine I agree with both of you, but then we are beyond what I would tend to think of as "political". As Anesthesine notes.

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    Why would a true fan wear a t-shirt featuring by far their weakest album rather than their best one, as this girl does? Makes no sense. ;)

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    Is it ?! But in what does it consist? To be quite frank, I struggle to really see much political content in there at all, and practically none that isn't at least ambivalent or reliant on one among several possible interpretations. There's republicanism and vegetarianism, but these are, to most...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    Well, it generates a bit of a subtext doesn't it? Really? Why? Well, I sort of see what you mean (commitment, courage, anger and so forth). But can you imagine Morrissey fighting cops at a barricade? Or any other member of the Smiths for that matter, if perhaps for different reasons? It...

    David Cameron goaded over The Smiths at Prime Minister's Questions

    Fantastic. Not only is it a great picture, but it seems as if the Smiths is now a symbolic weapon of political warfare - it's as if Cameron's avowed admiration for them is now wielded as a weapon against him by people determined to win ownership of the true Smithsonian mantle. :) Which is of...

    thefirstpost.co.uk column on Morrissey and Cameron

    I think the article overreaches considerably. Speaking as someone who was a a very active young conservative in the mid-eighties as well as an avid Smiths fan, I'd have to say that much as I would have loved to regard the Smiths as my own kind politically, it never occurred to me to do so. Even...

    The “real” way of listening to 'The Smiths' and 'Meat is Murder'

    So do I. But if you've listened to an album in a particular sequence for 15 years, it is no longer totally arbitrary.
