Similar to yourself really, first gig at Edinburgh Playhouse as a mere 14 year old (that makes me feel old). Over the years the best ones have been the ones you least expect such as Truro in 2006 and Leicester in 91 I've had mixed experiences in London, Forum back in the late 90s was...

Don't agree with this at all, I've been to Morrissey gigs in the North and heard the same comments from small numbers in the crowd. Some of my favourite Morrissey gigs have been in London due to the venue and fans Last night was excellent, best I've seen him for many years, I think having Alain...

The Palladium presale was accessed by signing up for their email newsletter

Strange booking site for the Palladium. Didn't see my email for pre sale link and was waiting for tickets to show on main page, checked emails and there was a link. Managed to get 2 tickets for the stalls, the booking page kept logging me out though, I think this is why tickets kept...

Absolute rubbish. If somebody doesn't present to their GP or hospital with symptoms how could diagnosis been made earlier?? She was being treated for another condition and wouldn't have been showing signs of the cancer. Please try and do some reading on how a diagnosis is made. To have an...

Going back to an earlier point......there is a good chance Morrissey would've known or had some kind of acquaintance with Steve Strange. I'm sure I read many years ago about some of the friendships around Pete Burns, Boy George, Marilyn and Steve Strange. We know Morrissey had a friendship with...

Beautiful video of two legends. It's worth remembering that Morrissey probably had the world at his feet and in the palm of his hand at this point in time. On a run of great albums, on the whole respected and selling out shows very quickly around the world. For me personally and I know this...

Well I like them. Decent interpretations of Morrisseys best years, which says alot about his contribution

Great rendition of a great song. Vauxhall and I arguably the peak of Morrissey's solo career.

I said in a earlier post about restraint training in mental health services in the UK. We stopped using prone around 5 years ago. Pressure on the neck and spine was stopped many many years ago. It is a well known fact in police and health that the holds they were using could cause him to die...

I can provide stats but I choose not too, try educating yourself. You can't even hold a conversation without resorting to insults. Stereotyping is racism if it involves blanket racist statements such as the ones you made. No idea why I need to use a dictionary.

Your reply has shown why racism still exists. Sweeping stereotype statements based on skin colour. Stats are easy to find, educate yourself and have a wee look instead of sounding like a Daily Mail reader. Stats can be used to favor a debate I agree but these stats, research and articles are...

It's both. I used to teach NHS staff in mental health on how to manage aggression. We taught both verbal de-escalation techniques and physical techniques to restrain violent clients. We stopped the use of prone restraint around 5 years ago. We stopped any contact with the neck many years...

No avoidance, Rigby was killed by terrorists whereas the protests are concerned wit the killings of unarmed black Americans over a numbers of years by law enforcement officers. Totally different issues. The killers of Lee Rigby were arrested and had punishment for their crimes. Black...

Stupid comparison that has no relevance to current issues.
