What's wrong with being gay bb?
Hope you're not watching those dodgy gay Aussie pornos again. Skip.
There's nothing implicitly wrong with being old. But this older generation is a particularly reactionary one. So the fact that Lydon has become both old and reactionary is symbolic of his generation.As for me pointing out negatives, as I've said times many, I only ever do it when supported by evidence. Just like I give praise when the evidence supports it. I've invited you times many to refute that and you never have done. What do YOU do when the evidence suggests mistakes or wrongdoing?

You search and point out negatives, far, far more than you declare positives, and when you do declare positives, they are only tokens to use as evidence in future discussions, like this one.

I may be wrong here, but I don’t recall Lydon or the Sex Pistols being overtly political. I think The Clash were the red flag waving punks. Although I disagree with his comment, I can see how some may have the perception. A few people accused Labour of losing their working class roots and becoming middle class, London-centric. Though saying that, my Labour MP is neither a Londoner nor middle class. She’s an excellent MP. Back to Lydon, I remember listening to an interview with Danny Baker (I think) a few years ago. He said that John Lydon had turned into a John Lydon caricature over the years, trying too hard to be controversial. He appeared on a TV show and was perfectly pleasant to everyone until the cameras started running when he suddenly turned into a bit of a prick. Once the show ended, he turned back into pleasant John!!

Hopeless.Just fighting fire with fire, Billy. The posts condemning John Lydon's comment have only gone to prove that he has a point.

you don't have to vote tory to be conservative, it's state of mind, a social philosophy
Who says I'm conservative!

A large part of the reason for that is because Labour attracts people like you.
Syd, what's the political landscape like over there? Is it as polarised or is that a UK phenomenon
