Morrissey condemns the London 2012 Olympics as 'blustering jingoism' and compares them to 1939 Germany with its 'foul patriotism.'

In a letter which he posted to his True to you Fans the singer slams the media coverage the 'dazzling royals' are given. In the letter he expresses his distaste for the Olympic games and says 'the spirit of 1939 Germany now pervades throughout media-brand Britain '

The former Smiths frontman who is known for his controversial remarks in the past, had just recently hit out at the Olympics for The Smiths being excluded from the opening ceremony playlist.

The statement which the singer posted on the fan website slates the Royal Family and says he cannot bring himself to watch the games.
'I am unable to watch the Olympics due to the blustering jingoism that drenches the event. Has England ever been quite so foul with patriotism' He goes on to attack the Royal Family The 'dazzling royals' have, quite naturally, hi-jacked the Olympics for their own empirical needs, and no oppositional voice is allowed in the free press. It is lethal to witness. '

'As London is suddenly promoted as a super-wealth brand, the England outside London shivers beneath cutbacks, tight circumstances and economic disasters. Meanwhile the British media present 24-hour coverage of the 'dazzling royals', laughing as they lavishly spend, as if such coverage is certain to make British society feel fully whole. In 2012, the British public is evidently assumed to be undersized pigmies, scarcely able to formulate thought.'

The singer goes on to say 'As I recently drove through Greece I noticed repeated graffiti seemingly everywhere on every available wall. In large blue letters it said WAKE UP WAKE UP. It could almost have been written with the British public in mind, because although the spirit of 1939 Germany now pervades throughout media-brand Britain, the 2013 grotesque inevitability of Lord and Lady Beckham (with Sir Jamie Horrible close at heel) is, believe me, a fate worse than life. WAKE UP WAKE UP

This is also not the first time he has made anti Royal comments, last year speaking about the Queen's visit to Ireland he compared The Queen to the former Libyan tyrant Muammar Gaddafi and at a recent gig his band wore 'We hate William and Kate tshirts.'
