Showing Original Post only (View all)Ah well - Morrissey blames royal family for nurse's death [View all]
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/dec/12/morrissey-royal-family-nurse-death<snip>
Morrissey has blamed the royal family for the suspected suicide of Jacintha Saldanha. The singer accused the royals of "staggering arrogance" following the death of Saldanha, a nurse who was tricked by two Australian DJs into revealing details of the Duchess of Cambridge's pregnancy.
"It wasn't because of two DJs in Australia that this woman took her own life, it was the pressure around her," Morrissey told New Zealand's 3News. While much of this stress can be blamed on the press, he said, or the "maximum pressure [of] the Palace and Clarence House," he called on the duchess to take direct responsibility.
"[She] was in the hospital, as far as I could see, for absolutely no reason," the singer said. "She feels no shame about the death of this woman, she's saying nothing about the death of this poor woman. The arrogance of the British royals is absolutely staggering."

Not to mention the idiocy of suggesting it was too early in the pregnancy for morning sickness

Quite frankly I missed the part where he said she was in the hospital for no good reason

If Morrissey says to blame the royals, then I'll not blame the royals because I hate Morrissey.

No, I don't jest. I had no interest in the popular music of the 80's, nor do I of the 10's,

It's called free speech, and I was pointing out Morrissey is known for this sort of thing.
