Also from the Guardian comments site (which is pretty good incidently) is this blog entry, which is a bit more sensible and level headed I think. In other words, it's not written by any one from the NME or Merck Mercuriadis (Morrissey's manager. If you're bored, it might also be worth checking out the Mozzer sycophant site
http://www.true-to-you.com, on which Merck has posted alot of accusatory messages about why the NME is shit and Morrissey isn't, including legal gubbins between moz's solicitors and the nme (if you're
very bored)

Apparently, although Morrissey's responses weren't changed, there was more to the interview than just immigration ranting, which they ommited, probably things which made him seem like a more balanced individual, I dunno NME: 'What do you like for breakfast?' Moz: 'Toast, occassionally I'll have marmalade on it'
Although I did read somewhere that the nme altered the questions tim asked to make it seem like he wasn't provoked in to talking about immigration, more as though he just likes to rant about it.
