Very true but I'd skip romance and call it nostalgia. Moz is easily the most nostalgic artist in music and when he uses old film stars and that it's not so much about them as about those times in the past.I don't think he's changed that much at all. Even in the days of the Smiths, he was constantly harking back to a romanticised vision of some vanished (and possibly never-existed-in-the-first-place) England of the past, so I think his dislike of mass immigration is consistent with that whole mindset.
Like the famous Bobby Moore photo which to Moz was not about him but about the row of english houses in the background.
