Godfather of punk, anarchist and former Sex Pistol John Lydon, AKA Johnny Rotten, was on the show this morning promoting his limited edition new book Mr Rotten’s Songbook. Having built a career on his anti-establishment views, he didn’t shy away from talking about todays political landscape.
Lydon came out in support of Brexit claiming the working class had spoken and that he would stand by them. He also claimed he could see a possible friendship in Trump, praising his ability to terrify politicians. Rotten himself inspired a generation of anarchists.
“What I can’t stand is the American media trying to smear the bloke (President Trump) as a racist because it’s just not true. He’s not that and there just might be a chance that something good will come out of that situation because he terrifies politicians and this is joy to behold to me. ”
