Morrissey shares his views on Brexit – and goes after David Attenborough…

Bigmouth Strikes Again...

Morrissey has declared that he doesn’t believe Brexit will really take place – as well as hitting out at Sir David Attenborough.

Having previously said that he thought the Brexit result was ‘magnificent‘, the former Smiths turned solo icon has said that he himself has never voted in his life, he thinks the referendum was a victory for ‘democracy over Westminster’.

“I thought it was a fascinating strike for democracy, because the people said the opposite to Westminster, and that was extraordinary,” he told The Sunday Times. “David Cameron didn’t imagine the result could be as it was, but at least he did the honourable thing and slid away. The unfortunate thing is that politicians only speak to other politicians.

“They don’t speak to the people, so on that day their bubble burst.”

He also added that he didn’t think Brexit would be likely to actually to come intro fruition, “because Westminster don’t want it” and that “they’re just finding a way not to make it Brexit.”

During the same interview, he also hit out at Sir David Attenborough – questioning the naturalist’s true attitude towards animals in TV shows like ‘Blue Planet’ and ‘Planet Earth’.

“I don’t know about Attenborough’s regard for animals,” Morrissey continued. “He often uses terms like ‘seafood’ and there’s no such thing. It’s sea life, and he talks about ‘wildlife’ and it’s free life.

“Animals are not wild simply because we pathetic humans haven’t shoved them in a cage, so his terminology is often up the pole.”

Morrissey also caused controversy for defending his comments about Kevin Spacey – arguing that sexual harassment “can just be a pathetic attempt at courtship”.
