Morrissey has told how he thinks Nigel Farage would make a good Prime Minister and how he believes 'everyone ultimately prefers their own race' in an eccentric new interview.

The former Smiths frontman he also tells of his support for the far right party For Britain and how he suspects he wasn't invited to perform at the Arena bomb memorial concert because 'I do look back in anger'.

Published today on the singer's own website Morrissey Central the interview was actually conducted by his nephew Sam Esty Rayner in April, before the release of his latest album California Son.

According to Morrissey 'everyone ultimately prefers their own race' and he hits out at diversity saying it 'can’t possibly be a strength if everyone has ideas that will never correspond'.

He goes on to ask 'If borders are such terrible things then why did they ever exist in the first place?', before adding: "Borders bring order."

Speaking about politics he insists he has never supported UKIP, but told of his admiration for Nigel Farage saying it's 'obvious that he would make a good Prime Minister'.

And he also reiterated his support for For Britain - an endorsement which has previously seen his albums banned from the world's oldest record store and his posters advertsing his new album banned by a rail network.

Last month the singer was pictured wearing a For Britain badge as he left a theatre in New York.

He said: "The UK is a dangerously hateful place now, and I think we need someone to put a stop to the lunacy and to speak for everyone.

"I see [For Britain leader] Anne Marie Waters as this person.

"She is extremely intelligent, ferociously dedicated to this country, she is very engaging, and also very funny at times."

Morrissey, who was celebrating his birthday in Manchester on the night of the Arena bomb in May 2017, also took a pop at the commemoration concert held in the wake of the atrocity.

Asked by the interviewer why he wasn't invited to sing at the event Morrissey replies: "Because I DO look back in anger! I would have sang World Peace Is None Of Your Business or Life Is A Pigsty - or something truthful and meaningful.

"If my child had been killed at Manchester Arena I wouldn’t be lighting candles and swaying … I’d be in a complete rage."
