To coincide with the release of "All You Need Is Me", Birmingham website Hagley Road to Ladywood calls for "an all round press boycott of any of Morrissey's future releases" in the wake of The Word/NME libel case.

Here's a snippet: "Our argument, in fact, is that Morrissey's recent legal exploit against The Word magazine and the NME will make it impossible from now on to offer a balanced and objective review of his artistic output without fear of receiving a judicial writ issued through the letter box". And, the article continues, "[...]after some serious wrangling, Hagley Road to Ladywood is calling for an all-round press boycott of any of Morrissey's future releases".

Interesting Morrissey caricature too, sporting a 'No Win No Fee poster' in the background.

  • There's a journalistic mafia around us, and they are proclaiming their right to destroy any artist fate and reputation. They obviously don't feel any respect for the artist, their readers and the "balanced and Objective" work they proclaim. Thet deserve any legal action against them. Morrissey don't need stupid reviews from stupid journalists.
    Anyway, People don't trust in modern journalism this days.

  • I'm sure all ten regular visitors to this website will have a catastrophic impact upon Morrissey's record sales.

    Cunts.

  • The intimation that Morrissey might take a publication to court for giving him a bad review is beneath contempt, truly cretinous. Why do these brain-donors find it so difficult to understand that someone might be willing to fight in court against accusations of something as vile as racism?
    Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing; it's just a shame that it applies to morons as well.

  • Morrissey has done a perfectly fine job destroying his career and tarnishing his reputation without the help of the media.

    If he really wanted to put his money, and his lawyer's time, to good use, he should gain a court injunction to force himself to stop talking nonsense. Also, he should gain a cease and desist order that prevents him from releasing further albums with his bare bum as cover art.
