Thanks to "The Smiths Indeed" for noting Morrissey's comments at Leeds yesterday. I guess I'm indifferent about the royals, but the killing of bears for their skins is a continuing outrage:
Morrissey: "Now, if you oppose cruelty and you are pro-democracy then it naturally follows that you cannot stand the British so-called royal family. Obviously, we all know that William and Kate are thick as pig shit. And we all know that Charles and his wife Camel [sic] are professional benefit scroungers. But ....(? inaudible) because we don't live in a democracy and the worst culprit of all, the cruelest of all is the dear, sweet, little, gentle queen herself who year after year authorizes the entrapment and the deaths of hundreds of Canadian brown bears. Such is the sweetness of the queen of England .... (? inaudible). And I'm sure that the Canadian brown bears will heave a collective sigh of relief the day that the wonderful little old woman drops dead."
