Did you read that bloated ego-on-stilts pop singer Morrissey has entered the controversy over the new Oxford animal research laboratory by warning those working on the site: "We'll get you".
The former Smiths frontman used a concert at the city's New Theatre last Thursday night to condemn the £20m biomedical research laboratory site currently under construction in South Parks Road.He called Oxford "the shame of England" for allowing the laboratory to be built and told fans: "If you agree with vivisection, go and be vivisected upon yourself."
Now I know Morrisey has the mental age of a thirteen year old, and I know that anyone who would listen to his juvenile caterwauling is mad BUT... many of these so-called "Animal Rights activists" aka terrorists ARE mad and could decide to follow his instructions. A grossly irresponsible statement from a sad old hack of a singer. Change the record.
Prosecute him for incitement...and for being dire.

He's a boring old fart with no relevance today. What makes him think that his opinions are so important, just because he few decent songs almost a quarter of a century ago.

morrisey is an idiot.
someone needs to take him to the corner and put their toe very deep up his backside.
batons and beatings are the medicine for the anti vivasection crowd. if you can talk tough you can get a dig i say.

as an after thought, i wonder how mr. morrisey feels about free acess to AIDS medicines ?
you cant have those unless you have no moral problem with their development surely ?

Silly Morrissey. He's a commited socialist who lives in Beverly Hills and his best friend is ageing millionaire songbird Nancy Sinatra.
Anyway - I'm off to Oxford on Saturday to support the Pro-Test people.

Colm,
Are you miserable because DST's going to Oxford?

In fairness, it is Morrissey we're talking about here, and he did make his remarks in front of a crowd of adoring fans. What are they going to do about it - swat the vivisectionists with daffodils?

were the flowers pruned humanely?

Oh those gladioli. I thought fatmammycat was talking about gladiators and their gladii.

It doesn't help that his music and lyrics are rubbish as well...

Eeep, I wasn't Adrian, but I can't see Morrisey turning that down either. Honestly he has some great tunes-the song that inspires the title of this post for example- but I wouldn't cross the street to see him.

MorrisSey is a clever, witty and, most importantly, compassionnate man. The closed-minded bigotry displayed here is enough to doubt anyone's belief in the success of the human race.
