Billy Bragg v. Morrissey: It's On!

BB tells The Independent: *"Do I think he's a racist? No. Do I think he's foolish to say these things? Yes I do. He's someone who used to be able to articulate an Englishness that's attractive and charming. No, he's not a racist, he's a bore. And to the old Morrissey, that would have been even worse, and I speak as a Smiths fan."*

Read Morrissey's statement to the NME here.

Whose side are you on?
