Nicked? After guitarist Johnny Marr’s rebuke of David Cameron’s Smiths fandom, the Prime Minister has now suffered a tongue-lashing from Morrissey himself. In a missive to the True to You fanzine, the writer of Margaret on the Guillotine rails against Tory threats to repeal the Hunting Act.

I would like to, if I may, offer support to Johnny Marr who has spoken out to the media this week against David Cameron. To those who have expressed concern over Johnny’s words in view of the fact that David Cameron has pledged immense allegiance to the music of the Smiths I would like to try to explain why I think Johnny is right not to be flattered.

After a somewhat rambling attack on David Cameron and others, Prince William’s fiancée Kate Middleton is called a “fiasco”, singer Bryan Ferry is cast as “Bryan Ferret” and hispro-hunting son Otis is renamed “Odious Ferry”.  Morrissey concludes:

… by close of this piece I return to the opening issue of David Cameron and I remind him that the world loves a man who loves to listen. But we can’t believe what you say when we know what you do.

Heaven knows Dave is miserable now!
