A jumped-up pantry boy who never knew his place
Morrissey invited to pitch for Eurovision
The BBC yesterday confirmed that the former singer with The Smiths was one "of a number of artists" who had been invited to take part in this year's contest to select the British entry.
The move follows reported comments from the singer after the UK entry, "Teenage Life" by Daz Sampson, came fifth from bottom last year. Morrissey was quoted as saying: "I was horrified but surprised to see the UK fail again. And there's one question I keep asking myself. Why didn't they ask me? That question keeps going round my head."
