Morrissey Compares The Queen To Colonel Gadaffi As She Visits Ireland

Morrissey has launched an attack on the Queen, likening her to Middle Eastern dictator Colonel Gaddafi.

The singer wrote an article in the Irish Hot Press attacking the monarch to coincide with her visit to Ireland.

The former Smiths frontman openly compared the Queen's position as Head Of State to that of Gaddafi as well as criticising the very existence of the Monarchy.

He wrote: ''The Queen's visit to Ireland is part of a new Palace PR campaign to re-invent the Windsors. The message from The Queen will be the same as ever: who we are born to is more important than what we achieve in life."

"The very existence of The Queen and her now enormous family – all supported by the British taxpayer whether the British taxpayer likes it or not – is entirely against any notion of democracy, and is against freedom of speech. For a broad historical view of what The Queen is and how she "rules", examine Gaddafi or Mubarak, and see if you can spot any difference. You won’t be able to."

Last month, Morrissey launched an attack against the royal family ahead of the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday (April 29).
