Solutions

1:B - Morrissey was reacting in 2015 to less-than-enthusiastic reviews of his first novel., 2:A - Greer stated her views about trans women during a Q&A session on Australian TV., 3:B - In April this year Morrissey published an interview on his website that included this quote, and attacks on halal meat producers, Theresa May, Diane Abbott and Sadiq Khan., 4:A - Greer was discussing sexual assault at the Hay Festival, saying “Instead of thinking of rape as a spectacularly violent crime, and some rapes are, think about it as non consensual … that is bad sex. Sex where there is no communication, no tenderness, no mention of love.”, 5:A - At the Hay Festival in 2011, Greer suggested that dog excrement was destroying spring flowers, saying "If you love your bluebells kill your dog,", 6:B - Morrissey was speaking to Der Spiegel in the light of allegations against Kevin Spacey, during the #MeToo movement last year. He disputed the quotes after they were published, but Der Spiegel issued an audio recording of the interview, where Morrissey also described Germany as "the rape capital of Europe" and said that "In the interests of the human race" he would be willing to press a button that caused US President Trump to be killed., 7:A - Greer has been an outspoken critic of the #MeToo movement. In the same interview she also spoke of Wood Allen's alleged abuse of Dylan Farrow when she was seven, saying: “It was 20 years ago, so you want him to stop making movies now? It might be a good idea because he’s probably no good any more.”, 8:B - No, not Australian-born Greer, but Morrissey, protesting against an Australian plan to kill two million stray cats, whom he described as "two million smaller versions of Cecil The Lion"., 9:A - Greer was on BBC2’s Newsnight in 2015, and was being asked about the rumoured decision by Glamour magazine to give Jenner its woman of the year award., 10:A - Not lifelong animal rights supporter Morrissey, but Germaine Greer, who was writing for The Telegraph about her experience of raising sheep., 11:B - Morrissey criticised Trump for his reaction to the Orlando club shooting. In an open letter Morrissey wrote "Donald Thump, probably America’s next president, reacts to the Orlando massacre by explaining how, if the people within the club were themselves armed with guns, then there would have been fewer casualties. This, of course, is his way of avoiding any words of support to the Orlando gay community (it is their own fault for going into a nightclub without hand grenades).", 12:B - Morrissey defended the former EDL leader this week, after Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - was jailed for contempt of court after filming at a Leeds court during a trial. , 13:A - Although Morrissey has long been a critic of the British royal family, once asking whether Prince Charles might not crave to appear on the front of the Daily Mail dressed in his mother's bridal veil, it was actually Greer who said this on Australian TV, 14:A - Greer was appearing on TV in Australia discussing whether Shakespeare still had anything to offer the modern world. The Smiths released a single entitled "Shakespeare's Sister" in 1985., 15:A - In 2015 was speaking on a panel at the Sydney Opera House, when she discussed how she thought feminism, like the media, was ageist and focused on young women of reproductive age in relationships to the exclusion of children and the elderly. “Everyone thinks they understand [equality], but no one understands it. … it’s an illusory goal. I’m a liberation feminist, not an equality feminist. Equality is a profoundly conservative aim and it won’t achieve anything.”, 16:B - In 2015 Morrissey won The Bad Sex Award for fiction for this excruciating description of sex in his debut novel List of the Lost: “At this, Eliza and Ezra rolled together into one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation, screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating his excitement as it whacked and smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise central zone.”, 17:B - A trick question. In 2008 brothers Ron and Russell Mael released a single entitled "Lighten up, Morrissey", about a man whose girlfriend was such a big fan of the former Smiths singer that it was ruining their relationship. Morrissey has previously cited Sparks as an influence, and invited them to perform in 2004 when he curated the Meltdown festival.
