Morrisey William And Kate

Morrissey's big mouth has struck again, ramping up his rhetoric on the Falklands while his band sported anti-monarchy T-shirts on stage.

The 52-year-old Queen is Dead singer's band took to the stage wearing T-shirts with the bold slogan "We hate William and Kate", featuring a picture of Kate Middleton and Prince William on their wedding day.

Morrissey told thousands of fans at a gig in Argentina that the disputed Islands belonged to South American nation: “It is the government that decides," he told the crowd.

“The [British] government, the governments, never listen to the people, to their pain.”

While the T-shirts provoked outrage in some quarters, others thought the episode was amusing.

"We Hate William And Kate" in my eyes Morrissey can do no wrong.

Dear , can you revoke Morrissey's citizenship? If he likes Argentina so much, he bally well sod off and join them.

It's not the first time the former Smiths frontman has caused controversy over the Islands this month. Earlier in March the singer added his name to the growing list of celebrities who have said the contested Falkland Islands should belong to Argentina.

"You know of course the Malvinas Islands, everybody knows they belong to Argentina," Morrissey told an Argentinian crowd.

The singer's comments, which come as the 30th anniversary of the conflict nears, were captured in a video posted on YouTube on Friday, which claim to show him speaking during a performance in the city of Cordoba on Thursday evening.

To applause from the crowd he added: "So please do not blame the British people, we know the islands belong to you."

He's entitled to his own opinion and his right to express it just like everybody else is.

A t-shirt doesn´t kill anyone. The british empire has, and a nuclear submarine can kill millions more.

The Mavinas were occupied with argentine population and government when the british invaded them in 1833. Before that, the british empire tried to invade Buenos Aires in 1806 and 1807 and were repelled. Argentina, independent country since 1816, has made several international claims about Malvinas, because the british empire and its invasion has broken the territorial integrity of the country.

According to the UN, the Malvinas are a british COLONY, and they are included in the list of NON-Self-Governing Territories. The UN officially recognizes the argentine claim over the Malvinas and doesn´t recognize the self determination in this case.

Thats a shock he plays a gig in Argentina and comes out with a gob full of nonsense, just last week another scotsman came out with the same Garbage that was George Galloway, everyones got an oppinion but these 2 renegades should be classed as traitors to Soldiers who lost there lives on an Island that was invaded by Argentina in the 1st place. One pop star who's music career is well past its sell by date and a former minister who is also passed his sell by date and both are after a freeby in Beunos Ares ... They could not tie William and Kates shoe laces ...

It was the british empire who invaded the argentine islands in 1833, after trying to invade the continental Buenos Aires in 1806 and 1807 and being repelled.

his career is more or less over and he should retire gracefully rather than punting his "greatest hits tour" round the third world. teenage angst is a bit hard to put over when you're his age.

He's got the money, just because people retire doesn't mean they are not rich. Don't hate. He is not old. He is going to send Shawn Penn a couple of those t-shirts too. And when Americans say jump , the Brits say "how high " ? lol! Just wait and see.

This man is not fit to be British. When we remember the number of soldiers who fought for this country and saved the Falklands from the clutches of Argentina - which by the way gave refuge to many WW2 Nazis who were guilty of terriblegenocidal activities.

The USA has a Department dedicated to unearthing people guilty of un - American activities, perhaps we should have one relating to Un - British activities, of which he should be the first to be investigated. and yes, I would love to see the reaction he gets when he attempts to return to the UK.

Isn´t Britain a democracy where everyone is entitled to an opinion? Sounds like you`d like to start a british GESTAPO.

I object to "celebrities" deciding that they have the right to go abroad as ambassadors to speak for the British public. Now, while we're talking about handing countries back (and the Falklands were not occupied when they were colonised) - USA, Australia, New Zealand, Britain - all of these countries had people in residence when they were colonised (so an awful lot of people would end up returning to Scandinvia). And those of Spanish descent in South America need to remember that their ancestors wiped out entire civilisations, not that long ago.

What you object to is called FREE SPEECH.

The Mavinas were occupied with argentine population and government when the british invaded them in 1833. Before that, the british empire tried to invade Buenos Aires in 1806 and 1807 and was repelled. Argentina, independent country since 1816, has made several international claims about Malvinas, because the british empire and its invasion has broken the territorial integrity of the country. British people should also remember the millions of people murdered by british forces in their colonies all over the world in the name of the crown, not that long ago. And also, that they are threatening a whole continent right now with a nuclear submarine on the south american coast.

According to the UN, the Malvinas are a british COLONY, and they are included in the list of NON-Self-Governing Territories. The UN officially recognizes the argentine claim over the Malvinas and doesn´t recognize the population´s self determination in this case.

It appears evry time some "star" goes to perform in Argentina they have to show their solidarity with the country's regime and knock their own country.
I have an idea tell them to **** off and stay there!!
Don't buy their records or go to their films.
See if they are so anti UK then !!

I hope that when Morrissey next flies into England he is greeted by a crowd all wearing T-Shirts saying "We think Morrisseys a W**k*r !" I think that would be more accurate than any statement that has dribbled out of his mouth lately.

In a perfect world, Morrissey would arrive back in the UK at customs with his 5 anti wills and kate bandmates only to be told that apparently you do not like our royal family or respect the wishes of the people of the FALKLAND islands-therefore we are not accepting you back into the UK all your assets are frozen and you are booked on the next flight to Beunos Aires.....

Is he the one not wearing a T shirt? If so he looks very old. Old men are dangerous, it doesn't matter to them what is going to happen to the world.
