Morrissey compares London 2012 Olympics to Nazi Germany

Some stuff that goes in Britain compares to Nazi Germany like all the military propaganda and the bs that surrounded their attacks with the US on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Especially how every one of their soldiers killed abroad is automatically a hero.

100% true but Morrissey can't say that or no one would listen or print it.

..I thought you meant our Marty said it

So did I! Marty would probably have more relevance at this stage

Morrisseys trouble is that he believes that he knows more than everyone else and he believes that he's always right when in fact he's just an annoying self centered prat.

I saw him in Kilmainham a couple of years ago and he gave a long winded 'speech' (rant) about peoples freedom of choice and how they shouldn't allow others to dictate what they can and can't do. 'Stand up for yourself' and all that..
I couldn't buy a burger in there that day because the self same Morrissey dictated to the promoters that the vendors were not allowed to sell any meat products.
I reckon that he was too busy looking up his own arse to see the irony in that..

Morrissey is great.

Let's face it, Mozzer makes little sense at the best of times.

His attack on British patriotism also seems a bit odd. Didn't he go through a bit of a Nationalist faze in the 90's, when he was often seen wrapping himself in the Union Jack beside towering images of Skinheads?

Maybe under all his ranting and raving he's making at least a little sense. The London Olympics have been an incredibly expensive investment for the British public, and it seems like all that effort is likely to reap some less than satisfactory results in terms of a discernible profit.

It was a big risk and maybe it's not paying off exactly how they wanted it.

Morrissey lives in Los Angeles. Why is he complaining about something that does not affect him in any way, shape or form ?

Just because someone is no longer living in their home country, it doesn't mean they can't comment on what happens back there.

After reading the article I still dont have the slightest clue as to how the london olympics and nazi germany are in any way similar

I am unable to watch the Olympics due to the blustering jingoism that drenches the event. Has England ever been quite so foul with patriotism? The "dazzling royals" have, quite naturally, hi-jacked the Olympics for their own empirical needs, and no oppositional voice is allowed in the free press. It is lethal to witness.

"As London is suddenly promoted as a super-wealth brand, the England outside London shivers beneath cutbacks, tight circumstances and economic disasters. Meanwhile the British media present 24-hour coverage of the 'dazzling royals', laughing as they lavishly spend, as if such coverage is certain to make British society feel fully whole.

Does not sound nazi, sounds more like the hunger games to me.

Morrissey. An enigma rapped in a riddle. I wonder what his epitaph might read?

"Still whingeing"

Album sales of course did not influence the reason, why he so publicly expressed his deluded opinion.
