To want to call on all sufferers of severe morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum to despise Morrissey and his twattish views.

Can't believe what I have just read but here is a direct quote lifted from The Guardian website in an article about his reaction to the death of the nurse at the hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge was being treated.

" [Morrissey has] called on the duchess to take direct responsibility.

"[She] was in the hospital, as far as I could see, for absolutely no reason," the singer said. "She feels no shame about the death of this woman, she's saying nothing about the death of this poor woman. The arrogance of the British royals is absolutely staggering."

Morrissey has even accused Kate Middleton of being in hospital for spurious reasons, despite doctors diagnosing her with the serious complaint known as hyperemesis gravidarum. "Does she have a health condition?" the singer asked. "Is it anorexia or is it pregnancy? ? I mean morning sickness already? So much hoo haw and then suddenly as bright as a button as soon as this poor woman dies she's out of hospital? It doesn't ring true."

I am so angry about his attitude, not just to the Duchess, but towards all women who suffer in pregnancy. What an utter wanker.

I think every woman who is suffering from HG should go and puke on him!

He is an utter cock!

BigShinyBaubles · 12/12/2012 13:21

I've always thought he was a dickhead. Must be desperate for attention if he needs to comment on something he knows nothing about.

" I mean morning sickness already?"

Proving he knows nothing at all. Perhaps he should go and have a word with those doctor types, clearly he knows more than they do...

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 12/12/2012 13:22

I've never had HG but am happy to vote Morissey=Twat

bigkidsdidit · 12/12/2012 13:23

Morrissey is such a wanker now

Mollydoggerson · 12/12/2012 13:23

The nurse chose to take her own life, how could it possibly be Kate Middleton's fault? If anything pook KM is a victim in this whole tragic story.

Scheherezade · 12/12/2012 13:25

That's awful. I never had any kind of sickness but a close friend of mine was hospitalised three times for rehydration.

PumpkinPositive · 12/12/2012 13:25

I have no time for the royals and would happily see them all shipped off to a desert island but am happy to vote Morrissey = Twat.

freddiefrog · 12/12/2012 13:27

I always thought Morrissey was a massive cock. I've not changed my mind.

CasperGutman · 12/12/2012 13:27

What a prick.

Ginandtonicandamassageplease · 12/12/2012 13:27

This has made me unspeakably cross Xmas Angry I didn't have an opinion on Morrissey before but now I most definitely do ...

squeakytoy · 12/12/2012 13:28

the arrogance of that mediocre singer has always been staggering.. yanbu!

ChessieFL · 12/12/2012 13:28

How does he know she feels no shame? And she's not 'saying nothing', Kate & William have issued a statement saying they are deeply saddened and that their thoughts are with the family of the poor nurse.

Hopefully the duchess suffering will bring HG more into the public view and educate people as sadly Morrisey's views on that are reflective of quite a few people who don't know enough about the condition!

sue52 · 12/12/2012 13:29

I'm not quite sure who he is other than a massive prat.

AKissIsNotAContract · 12/12/2012 13:29

I haven't stopped despising him since his comments on immigration. Then there were the comments on the Chinese. He's always been a cunt.

FutureNannyOgg · 12/12/2012 13:32

He only does 2 songs anyway (How Soon is Now and the other one[s])

I hope he gets norovirus forever.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 12/12/2012 13:36

I, too, have always thought that Morrissey was a ginormacock, so this just reinforces that view. Anything for publicity, eh, you miserable fucker?

EldritchCleavage · 12/12/2012 13:37

Attention-seeking misogynist.

FanjoTimeMammariesAndWine · 12/12/2012 13:39

It is quite an arsey comment, yes.

But surely he is claiming she is pretending to be ill rather than dismissing HG as a genuine illness..I think he is saying he doesn't think she has it.

EuroShagmore · 12/12/2012 13:40

I'm interested to know when he went from being a has been singer to becoming an expert on ante-natal care.

Tvvat.

jennycrofter · 12/12/2012 13:41

I had the misfortune of working with him a few years decades ago. He was a wanker then too. Xmas Angry

Cachaca · 12/12/2012 13:42

On what grounds, though? On what grounds does this random guy think he can pronounce an opinion on whether a completely unrelated woman has HG?

OscarPistoriusBitontheside · 12/12/2012 13:42

Dick.

Tollund · 12/12/2012 13:43

Oh bugger, I only recently started to like him, clearly need to reassess. What did he say about immigration/the Chinese?!
