People in power never give up power. Look at Assad - if you must; his dingbat wife continuing to smile and wave, wrapped in Fendi, as the people of Syria disappear into dust. It is the same shame that the British utilized whilst claiming ownership of the Malvinas by shooting anyone who stood in their way. How very brave. Imagine if Taiwan claimed the Isle of Wight.

I was wondering about that. Because I remember a year or so ago there was some word from Johnny that he was thinking about a book.

I don't know, I personally feel like really only the Smiths bit of it will be interesting..

Does reading Morrissey's autobiography make you want to read Johnny's autobiography any more or less?
