There are the same amount of immigrants anywhere in the world!!! And Italy
has a lot of them too. Borrissey is a drip in the head and should be marooned
on an Island with a volleyball called Oscar. As in Oscar Wilde. I could never
stand that whiny guy.

Morrissey 'refuses to live in the UK because of immigration explosion'

By JAMES SLACK -

The pop singer Morrissey claims he can no longer live in a Britain he
believes lost to an "immigration explosion".

The former frontman of the Smiths, who is now based in Rome, claimed
England was just 'a memory now'.

The 48-year-old added: "Other countries have held on to their basic
identity yet it seems to me that England was thrown away.

"The change in England is so rapid compared to the change in any other
country.

"If you walk through Knightsbridge on any bland day of the week you
won't hear an English accent.

"You'll hear every accent under the sun apart from the British accent.

"The British identity is very attractive, I grew up into it and I find
it quaint and very amusing."

Morrissey, who has sung of his love for English culture and can count
Tory leader David Cameron as a fan, is the son of an Irish immigrant
family which settled in Manchester.

In 1986, when The Smiths released their critically-acclaime

d album The Queen is Dead, the UK had a population of 56million.

It now stands at 60million and some predict that could almost double by
2081.

Morrissey's comments were made in interviews with the music magazine NME.

In the mid-1990s he was accused of racism after wearing a Union Jack on
stage and releasing the songs Bengali in Platforms and the
ironically-named National Front Disco.

The singer's supporters insisted he had been seeking only to reclaim the
flag from extremists.

Tim Jonze, the reporter who conducted the interview, said: "Morrissey
has had a stormy relationship with this magazine and its readers over
the last three decades.

"He might once have been the voice of a generation but given his
comments in these two interviews, he's certainly not speaking for us now."
