speaks for itself

Music Lee Barker's piece about the Morrissey incident at the Liverpool Echo Arena speaks for itself:

"From my teens onwards I’ve been acutely aware of Liverpool’s undercurrent of annoyance. Whether it stems from the time I grew up, where the city was crumbling around us, there was mass unemployment and seemingly no future or it goes further back to the fact we are a sea port and all sea ports are tough places, I don’t know. What I do know is that time and place for these attitudes has passed. Its not applicable for life as we live it today yet this tacit approval for loutish behaviour is tolerated."
