Morrissey blames immigration for 'disappearance' of British identity
29 11 07 - 04:26 Morrissey blames immigration for 'disappearance' of British identitylink
Morrissey has made an unexpected – and to some of his fans a thoroughly unwelcome – contribution to Britain's loaded immigration debate. The musician has delivered a swingeing attack on what he perceives to be Britain's encroaching multiculturalism and the loss of national identity.
"England is a memory now," he says, in an interview with the NME published yesterday. "The gates are flooded and anybody can have access to England and join in."
Disappointingly, later Morrissey became anxious that the NME might seem to portray him as "racist" and is threatening to sue them for publicising his views in a sensationalist manner. This is symptomatic of the fact that while the majority of Brits feel the loss of national identity intensely, they are afraid to let their feelings be known publicly - "all that is required for evil to prevail...."
