12月2日、ジョニーがツイッターに "David Cameron, stop saying that you like The Smiths, no you don't. I forbid you to like it."とつぶやいたところ、
キャメロン首相は以下のようにコメント。 "I forbid Johnny Marr from voting Conservative. I never cared for the guitarist. It was Morrissey's genius singing and lyrics which made the Smiths and, if you don't believe me, just listen to any of the god-awful rubbish Marr's produced ever since. And don't get me started on the 'Healers' for f***'s sake - 'Healers' I ask you? There's an oxymoron if ever I heard one!".
