Morrissey 'cowardly', claims NME journalist

The journalist at the centre of the row over Morrissey's controversial comments on immigration has hit back at the former frontman of The Smiths - defiantly ridiculing his decision to take legal action.

Writer Tim Jonze says Morrissey made "ignorant, racially inflammatory statements" in his interview for British music magazine NME, and it was ludicrous for his legal team to claim he had been "stitched up".
