Johnny Marr calls Boris Johnson “a f*cking moron”

This charming man.

Something something Bigmouth Strikes Again.

Legendary Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has called Boris Johnson, who is a fucking moron, “a fucking moron”.

He did so in an interview with Uncut whilst talking about his upcoming album, Call the Comet, which addresses Donald Trump’s rise to power in the United States and the issue of Brexit looming over Great Britain.

“Trump is easily the best example to hold up, but the UK version is just as toxic and literally closer to home”, he said.

“But I suppose a destructive, negative reactive regime is the same here as it is in America. I just don’t think Boris Johnson is quite as dangerous somehow. He’s just a fucking moron.”

There you have it. One blond haired buffoon battling it out against the other and Johnson taking the top prize of being branded a moron.

Despite his comments, Marr has reiterated that the album isn’t overtly political and instead is an attempt to transcend politics.

“What bothered me, going into the record, was that my creativity was being contaminated by these people”, he explained. “I almost resented that more than that they were doing to the world. It was impacting on the place where I live, on my friends thinking. I had to almost make a pact with myself to get around the political issue, so that my record wouldn’t be spoilt by it.”

The new album has no release date as of yet, but is reportedly “coming soon”. Until then, Johnny, please please, please let me get what I want. Which is more hilarious Boris Johnson comments. Thank you
