OK, not quite. But Morrissey has decided to tell his side of the Morrissey/ NME immigration yarn to the most unbiased arena in the land – the official Morrissey website.

Last week, Morrissey’s torrent of anti-immigration codswallop shocked all NME readers – so basically about a dozen 14-year-olds with funny haircuts and cupboards full of skinny ties – to such an extent that Morrissey was forced to sue the magazine. And today on his website, Morrissey is going to explain that actually he’s not a racist, that the NME ignored his requests to help out on an anti-racism campaign and – perhaps most shockingly of all – the interviewer fidgeted a bit and laughs like a schoolgirl.

Oh, it’s on.
