Morrissey Blasts Prime Minister After London Riots

Outspoken musical activist Morrissey has blasted Tory Prime Minister David Cameron after the London riots spread through the country.
The singer-songwriter made his feelings towards the Eton school-boy known while on stage at the Brixton 02 Academy on Sunday, telling the crowd: “Has David Cameron ever been to Tottenham? I don't think so.”
The comments were met by cheers from his scores of fans, who often share his contrarian and hippie-minded attitudes. Morrissey went on to slate Prince Charles, admitting he found the attacks on the ‘Prince of Wales’ hilarious.
“In what our slanted media called the student riots, Charles and 'Camel' came face to face with the British public, without the protection of Buckingham Palace or the police. And what happened to them, I couldn't stop laughing about for weeks - no, months.”
Morrissey is currently under scrutiny after comments he made following the attacks in Norway – with the musician branding the tragedy ‘nothing’ compared to what was going on in McDonalds and KFC everday.
