Disclaimer & comment rulesThis is so important... but the funniest part is that many of the patriots in my country are happy that this “British pirate” Morrisey, is taking lots of money to the UK lol Morrissey is like Roger Waters, he knows that Nationalistic pr*cks have no brain, so these artists will say many things to convince them of something telling them what they want to hear, that the islands belong to Argentina, and then they will run away with their money lol
Mar 08th, 2012 - 12:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0@1 Quite so.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 12:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0There is more than one way to skin a cat. : )
What a set of wankers they are.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 12:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0You'd have to have pretty low esteem to embarrass yourself by wearing a t-shirt proclaiming you hated someone.
Absolutely cringeworthy. Basically Morrissey's career in the UK is now finished. Was it really worth it by sucking up to Argentina?
He's a complete arsehole. Traitorous git.
I wont give airtime to a traitor, xfxfxfk.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 12:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0@ 4 a traitor? He's not a traitor, he's just making money, stupid people are born to be used and abused, the Malvinists for example. Morrissey, like Waters, is taking advantage of stupid people and their money, and that's fine.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 12:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0no one should make money out of insulting others,
Mar 08th, 2012 - 12:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0perhaps the edl will welcome him home, lol.
Is that part of the Queen's diamond jubilee celebrations?
Mar 08th, 2012 - 12:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0What a piece of garbage. I wonder if 'Malvinas Morrissey' will have the audacity to actually return to the UK on his planned tour. I would love to see him spew this contemptible drivel in England. If he did manage to attract any crowd I suspect it might educate him with some well chosen words or well aimed projectiles. Less than the clown deserves.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 01:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0am i missing something but who the f*ck is morrissey? I know nothing of this man, he has a lot to say about UK issues but nothing of value, Hating William and Kate - I take it he knows them personally?
Mar 08th, 2012 - 01:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Falklands are Agentinas - has he asked population of The Falklands?,
has got to be a hoax nobody is that stupid, i had never heard of him, a clear publicity stunt, well it worked now i know him, and ill remember to snap my foot off up his ass
Mr.Morrissey
Mar 08th, 2012 - 01:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks for your support!!!!you are awesome, mate!!!

Don’t worry mates you can still buy “I hate David Cameron t-shirts”

@ 10 support? what support? He's taking your money, well, not your money because you live in New Zealand :) Funny that you hate the British people and you live in New Zealand lol
Mar 08th, 2012 - 01:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0“25.000 units” and Morrissey happy and thankful, so yes, it's great :)
Is that part of the Queen's diamond jubilee celebrations?
Mar 08th, 2012 - 03:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes it is, with a bonus, austerity measures for the peasants. They love it.

Mar 08th, 2012 - 04:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0sorry, you are confused, I do not hate the brits, we want to return the Malvinas islands to the Argentineans who were and are still usurped by a colony archaic and recognized as facto government, usurped implanted population, military base, nuclear weapons, stealing resources other, pirates bullies, and ....want to continue?
I can understand that people have different views on Royalty and that there are many who do not belive monachys should still exist, however this was a cheap stunt and done so while on tour! he wouldnt do it back in the UK!
Mar 08th, 2012 - 04:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Question: I wonder how many RG's watched the royal wedding?
Answer: 7.5% of the population
The t shirts are just a crass, shock tactic to get cheap publicity. It shows a boorish “holier than thou” type attitude.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 07:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0The man is a second rate performer anyway.
I quite like Wills and Kate from what I have seen of them in the media. I am glad that Williams deployment has annoyed the Argentinians, their complaints are pathetic, we can deploy anyone anywhere we like in our territory.
@14 the only bullies around are the Argentinians, trying to cajole the Falklanders. The only stealing going on is Argentinian - grand theft islands. The only usurpers are Argentinian - seeking to usurp sovereignty. The only implantation going on is Argentinian, seeking to implant foreign rule on the Falklanders. You act like pirates by harrasing shipping. Nuclear weapons LOL......I refer you to Timmerman and the epic failure at the UN.
The islands were calimed by us before Argentina sent over its garrison in an attempt to steal the islands in 1833.
The only reason Argentina exists is because its inhabitants decided to exercise their right to self-determination and broke away from the rule of Spain.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 07:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argies, especially ones like Kiwisarg, are mugs. Hilarious. Morrissey sells out of t-shirts and makes a load of cash off them by telling them what they want to hear.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 08:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Kiwi, I want you to continue your list.....i think you ran out of things and pretended you couldnt be bothered writing more.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 08:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0You being a Kiwi, I was wondering what the Sheep were like in RGland? Any good? Do they wax under their tails?
He hates who? Oh. Will and Kate. That adds to the other people he hates like black people and Chinese people. No sleep lost over this I expect.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 08:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0#19 he's not a kiwi, rather an Argie who lives in NZ. He pretends to talk for all New Zealanders, but I somehow doubt the vast majority of them would agree with him.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 09:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Be sure to keep an eye on the “Argentina” items on this site. Mercopress seems to be placing several items with relevance to the Falklands in the Argentine section only.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 09:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0I don't know why everyone is getting so worked up. Morrisey will probably earn about £1.86 from this concert, once he's converted it from pesos and got it back to the UK, and then he'll slip back into his unheard of mediocrity, where he doesn't even get his songs sung on pop-idol, and the latest generations haven't heard of him.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 09:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's just a bit sad and pathetic to watch really. Oh well.
If it is just for publicity and regional sales, expect the pop-group's PR team to switch the products and the rhetoric once they leave the shores.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 10:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Recantation on return the developed world,
and tee-shirts with:
“Falkland is Our Land,
it's not Your Land,
this land is made for you and me”.
'Loadsamoney!'
Hopefully HMRC will be casting a critical eye over Morrisey's income statements upon his return..........!
Mar 08th, 2012 - 11:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0No. Leave him alone he's doing no harm, it's a free country, well the UK and Falkland are anyway, he is entitled to an opinion just like anybody else.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 01:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That doesn't mean I don't think he is just a tit though. A buffoon. One of Argentinas helpful idiots.
I hope no one in Britain attends this guy's concerts next time he visits. He's a dick and his music sucks.

Mar 08th, 2012 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's called history, something of which we have rather more of than you. How we choose to celebrate it is up to us, the British people. Your not forced to watch it if you don't like, but it seems some hundreds of millions around the world, do not hold yopur point of view.
@28 What? “An amazing absolutely amazing experience, is hard to believe this things still exist in the 21 st century. Is like watching dinosaurs walking down the street”
Mar 08th, 2012 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But your whole cuntry hasn't got out of the 19th century yet!
Brittanica says Morrissey has ”a growing homoerotic obsession with criminals, skinheads, and boxers(?), a change paralleled by a shift in the singer's image from wilting wallflower to would-be thug sporting sideburns and gold bracelets.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 06:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Despite accusations of racism in the United Kingdom, Morrissey maintains a large Latino fan base.“ ....... nuff said.
In January of last year, 'Mr' Morrissey referred to Prince William and his then-fiancée Catherine Middleton as ”so dull as people that it is actually impossible to discuss them“. His real beef with the British royalty is his veggie stance against hunting - in his belief, the province of the British upper-class.
His ”loudly proclaimed celibacy offset by coy hints of closeted homosexuality“ is a constant theme throughout his career, and developed in a song he penned: ”... “Nothing entered me, 'til you came with the key”.
I think some would say that his 'public shafting' of the young royals should be reciprocated
in kind,
publically,
physically
and 'right royally'.
I'm sure Morrissey won't sell anymore tickets in the UK.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 07:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He seem to upset so many people the only place left on earth he could possibly go to live would be Argentina. I'm sure we will happily hand Morrissey over!
Oh my, how these old hasbeens know how to pander to the locals.
Mar 08th, 2012 - 07:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0we have our royals, and thats that, if you dont like it, thats your problem, you have a president so what,

And people still want to listen to him drone?
Mar 09th, 2012 - 02:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0The T-shirts were crass. While his comments on the Falklands were a publicity stunt in very poor taste.
He could have said something interesting about Uganda or Zimbabwe, or the atrocities in Syria, he could have spoken about Tibet, the Dali Lama, the hunting of Whales, the economic collapse, the destruction of the NHS, America robbing the poor to pay the rich. But no, he comes out with a load of crap on the Falklands!
@ 14 you should return to live in Argentina, you are an idiot, really. The islands are British, but probably you'll never be able to grasp the truth. And yes, you don't like the British people, every comment you make shows what you are, a loser, enjoying the benefits of living in the beautiful land of the kiwis. You are as reliable as a venomous snake.

Of course mate. Why do you need a transcription?
By the way if you don’t... The place with beach and sunny days if Africa the other with waste, rats poverty and people exploitation is UK.
@Danny berger. why don't you go away and dream about your grubby little ethnic cleansing campaign (that you'll never get to implement), you know the one you planned in 1982.
Mar 09th, 2012 - 07:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0The only role model Argentina takes from Africa as regards to the islands is Apartheid - with the Falkanders as the second class people.
Morrisey needs to be snubbed by everyone - he backs facists who want to kick out whole communities from their homes. What a sad and twisted person he is. So pampered and spoiled by riches.
I'd rather have a proper parliament and a proper head of state than be governed by a bunch of Nazi comedians.
Mar 09th, 2012 - 04:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@36. I would rather live in the worst place in the UK, than a corruption-ridden banana-republic like CFK's Reich named 'Argentina'.

The first picture is not from Argentina otherwise from India.
