Characteristics Shared Between TheRatsBack and Duncan Barkes.

Working in tandem with a gumshoe or two, the owners of Who Is Morrissey's World? are focusing on LBC broadcaster Duncan Barkes as the owner of TheRatsBack twitter and blogger accounts, and possibly MorrisseysWorld. It is becoming increasingly more likely that Mr. Barkes has taken on several personality traits of his former interviewee, Dickie Felton, in an attempt to obscure his identity.

Characteristics shared between TRB and Duncan Barkes:

-they work in radio.
-have business on the Isle of Wight or in its vicinity.
-have conservative views on immigration and race relations.
-same writing style: compare TRB's blog and an excerpt from this article that omits articles and subjects from the beginning of sentences and independent clauses, and the sudden turn from a serious tone to a frivolous one:

A vegetarian expert I once interviewed informed me that veggies have better sex, as meat contains some substance that makes the nerve endings less sensitive. Be that as it may, whenever I talk to vegetarians they never seem terribly happy. Conversation quickly turns to how they miss bacon sandwiches, and how only last week they fell off the meatless wagon; ‘accidentally’ eating a kebab on the way home from the pub. And if they really are getting more than their fair share of hanky panky, then they aren’t boasting about it.



The place once known as MorrisseysWorld: Surprise!
