In an outspoken rant written for Dublin-based music magazine Hot Press, pop singer Morrissey has called for the Queen to give Ireland back to the Irish, while likening her to a Middle Eastern dictator.

He describes Her Majesty’s visit as ‘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.’
