In the article for Hot Press titled 'The Very Existence of the Queen Is Against Any Notion of Democracy', Morrissey starts, "The Queen's visit to Ireland is part of a new Palace PR campaign to reinvent the Windsors. The message from the Queen will be the same as ever: who we are born to is more important than what we achieve in life."
He continues, "The full meaning of the Monarchy is, like the Queen herself, a complete mystery to most people. It is protected from any investigations by ridiculous stories of trivia and wedding dresses and on-again-off-again soap-drama romances."
The police's handling of anti-monarchy protesters at last month's royal wedding was another source of aggravation for the 51-year old. He writes, "The most revealing statement came from Commander Christine Jones of the Metropolitan Police last month, when she warned that any British people carrying anti-royal placards who are 'seen in the vicinity of the royal wedding would be removed under the Public Order Act.' This means that any political dissent in England is silenced in order to protect the royals, which in itself goes against every principle of democracy."
He concluded, "The very existence of the Queen and her now enormous family -- all supported by the British taxpayer whether the British taxpayer likes it or not -- is entirely against any notion of democracy, and is against freedom of speech. For a broad historical view of what the Queen is and how she 'rules', examine Gaddafi or Mubarak, and see if you can spot any difference. You won't be able to."

Try to understand what he is saying instead of being trolls. Do you not see the waste of time and tax payer's money on the royal family? And "no hack talent"? Why are you on Spinner? Clearly you nothing of music either. Try Disney or some other site to spam.

He is just speaking out to get some news time because his singing and songs are not worth getting him in the public eye. It is fools like him that cause problems rather then allowing things to heal. Everyone has made mistakes but it is forgiveness that allows us to move forward and no hack talents like him would be to unevolved to know that.
