“Stop saying that you like the Smiths,” Marr said last week, “no you don’t.” Whereas the guitarist made his remarks on Twitter, restraining himself to just 76 characters, Morrissey used the blog True to You to issue 11 paragraphs of vegetarian vitriol. “I would like to, if I may, offer support to Johnny Marr who has spoken out to the media this week against David Cameron,” he wrote. “David Cameron hunts and shoots and kills stags – apparently for pleasure. It was not for such people that either Meat Is Murder or The Queen Is Dead were recorded; in fact, they were made as a reaction against such violence.”
