Spot the Irony. Many of us will remember how Moz was crucified in the press all those years ago for his use of the Union Flag. But it now seems Moz was a visionary and genius the kind of which the present Chancellor of Great Britain is only just catching up on. On the front page of the Guardian today (14th January) Gordon Brown is quoted as saying "The union flag should be a British symbol of unity around our values...and we should assert that the union flag is for tolerance and inclusion". It also mentions Brown thinks the flag needs to be recaptured from the far right. So is this evidence that was Moz years ahead of his time?

This is one thing and one thing alone, a popularity pitch by a man who would probably did up his Granny and offer her for sex if it would make him Prime Minister.

Morrissey flying the flag (Score:1)
There's SO many groups/artists who use the union jack: The Ordinary boys, The Jam, Spice Girls (my favourite group ever by the way), Oasis, etc.
Morrissey paid a BIG price for that flag-thing and for WHAT??
British music press can be so fucking evil.

Let's hope Stephen Harper reclaims Canada for the Conservatives, and that the Tories' David Cameron dumps the vile Gordon Brown.

David, the wind blows
The wind blows
Bits of your life away
Your friends all say
"Where is our boy ? Oh, we've lost our boy"
But they should know
Where you've gone
Because again and again you've explained that
You're going to
Oh, you're going to
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
England for the English !
England for the English !
David, the winds blow
The winds blow
All of my dreams away
And I still say :
"Where is our boy ? Ah, we've lost our boy"
But I should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the
National, ah
To the National
There's a country; you don't live there
But one day you would like to
And if you show them what you're made of
Oh, then you might do
But David, we wonder
We wonder if the thunder
Is ever really gonna begin
Begin, begin
Your mum says :
"I've lost my boy"
But she should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the :
National
To the National
To the National Front Disco
Because you want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
When you've settled the score
Oh, the National
Oh, the National
Oh, the National
Oh, the National
Oh, the National
