"Morrissey has launched an extraordinary attack at David and Victoria Beckham, declaring that he would have them &amp;quot;dragged to the edge of the village and flogged&amp;quot;. The former Smiths frontman argued that the apparent desire to have a celebrity couple &amp;quot;insufferable to anyone of intelligence&amp;quot; return to the UK highlights &amp;quot;what&amp;#039;s wrong with this country&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d... have the Peckhams dragged to the edge of the village and flogged because they are insufferable to anyone of intelligence, and they actively chase the paparazzi,&amp;quot; he stated in Loaded. &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t seem to realise that David and Victoria Peckham will soon be back and God forbid they will be bestowed with titles Sir and Lady Peckham, this is what&amp;#039;s wrong with this country, we don&amp;#039;t seem to care.&amp;quot;  Morrissey continued to rant against David by saying that football as a whole has &amp;quot;no meaning whatsoever&amp;quot; given its stars&amp;#039; perceived lack of intelligence. &amp;quot;Football often seems to me to have no meaning whatsoever other than just to be there,&amp;quot; he commented.
