Or maybe he didn't think he'd be able to control his temper or say anything except 'David - you are a complete and utter twat and I abhor everything you stand for'.
It was just after the non-interview in the Guardian, so maybe he'd just had enough to go through the same thing again on TV.
I'm sure no matter what he'd said, the lazy-bastard journalists in this country would have done the same reaction piece they always do. They all just seem to be 'variations on a theme':
Mention the break up of The Smiths
Mention the court case - 'devious, truculent and unreliable'
Mention that Morrissey is now mega-rich
List all his 'controversial' quotes from over the years
Project your own vision of Morrissey on to him (based on what he was like 20 years ago usually)
without bothering to analyse and report on the actual event/interview.
Plus, if it was me, I wouldn't want a politician I hated getting extra publicity off my back - even if it did give me the opportunity to vent my frustrations on the telly.
'Variations on a Theme' would make a good song title I think.

Edit: Actually, I might as well add that I wish that S McCartney would do a range of animal friendly shoes for people who earn normal wages.
Another Edit: Come to think of it, I think that Thatcher has had a massively negative impact on the likelihood of another woman ever becoming PM. Just my opinion...

How could you restrict such a genius to 140 characters - he can knock out 1200 words of vitriol before breakfast.
I loved the opening line "I would like to, if I may, offer support to Johnny Marr" it should continue.... "when he next performs in Manchester"...

He probably wouldn't use as foul language as me (I'm not middle-class, despite what Boris Johnson's sister may say) but that's sort of what I meant.
He wouldn't want to risk 'having a moment' on TV. Surely he'd be thinking:
'I wanna keep me reputation
I'm a sensation
You try me once, you'll beg for more
Yes Sir, I can boogie...'

Wow. Really? Even a woman who represented a different party?
Thatcher accomplished one good thing; she made Monty Python's Parrot sketch obsolete:

First dramatic entrance

That's so sweet.
"Politically, I long for the day when it is finally acknowledged in the House of Lords that the indigestible business of the meat industry corrupts and destroys the planet more than any other profit organization."
Opening one's eyes is hard. Morrissey is a perfect Medusa. He point out what's scary.

It's such an interesting pleasure to watch Morrissey supporting Marr's statement. Of course it means nothing 'bout Smiths reunion - a thing I really couldn't stand - but it appears to guarantee that they still have some - even tiny - bonds among them besides business.

My secret's my enzyme.
Does he frequently sign his name with a period? Or just once a month?
Oh so very well said.
Looks like I'm the only one who's appalled at Morrissey's words:
"I cannot use the him/her term in relation to a Prime Minister because, as we all know, Margaret Thatcher has ensured that a female Prime Minister would never again be risked." Ermmm... why?
If Margaret Thatcher had been a male Prime Minister and you wouldn't agree with anything he does and you'd think that he did great harm to the entire nation, would you say your country shouldn't risk another male PM? So isn't it the political views you confront, is it now the gender of the person?

Still here.

I think what he was trying to say there (although of course I could be completely off the mark) was that because of what Thatcher did to the country, voters who lived through that period might be more likely to stay with the 'safe', familiar option; that is, a man. Of course it would be a fallacy to assume that someone's gender would necessarily affect how they run the country, but I think many people might immediately make that connection and perhaps be put off voting for a new female to be PM. That's just how I saw it though.
