The Tory leader David Cameron chose "This Charming Man" as one of his eight "Desert Island Discs" this morning on BBC Radio 4. For some reason, Cameron introduced his choice by explaining he has nothing in common with Morrissey - 'for example, Morrissey is veggie and I (Cameron) love my meat' - before saying that Morrissey performance of this track on TOTP was iconic.
Wonder what Moz would think of sharing a desert island with the leader of the Tories?

Hmmm, I really don't understand this. I mean, I know people say 'Oh well, it's just music' but surely people must realise that the words have meaning. Living your life in a manner which directly contradicts what you choose to listen to seems, likesay, a bit mad. No?

I'm sure that Cameron does like Morrissey and The Smiths, just as Yogi Blair likes The Clash, but music is simply another facet of existence to people like them; they don't live for music like some of us do.
The trouble we have as voters now is that the lines between left and right are becoming increasingly blurred. Cameron has said he can't listen to Margaret On The Guillotine and The Queen Is Dead because they bash Thatcher and the monarchy respectively; he still has those Tory principles that support the bourgeois at the expense of the proletariat, the hardline religious influence of the 'white' right at the expense of the secular, liberal left. However, as a Thatcherite and monarchist, he has a lot in common with the Bible bashing Blair; the man who's first move as PM was to invite the Iron Lady round for tea. Cheers for that Tony; no wonder Morrissey doesn't vote.

Oh aye, and don't let this sway you in the next election. Cameron is a dick - do not vote for him.
