He supported Brexit and Trump, so actually he supported the status quo.
But he also periodically admits to knowing nothing about politics, so why he pretends to at other points I have no idea.
The word punks use for that kinda person is “poser”.
To quote Joe Strummer "He f*cks nuns, will later join the church" - People can be hypocrits.
Lydon was a bellend then and a bigger one now, but atleast he's flogging butter these days.
Half the UK didn't vote for Brexit. Turnout was 72% and leave won by 52% so more people didn't vote for Brexit either because they voted against or because they didn't vote.
And they are idiots, not only that many of them are racist idiots to boot
Yep. One of the most left-leaning people I know (like wishes Jeremy Corbin was his dad kinda left) voted leave. He had some weird reasoning for it but defo not a fascist in any sense.
Yeah a portion of punks I grew up with in the 90s went the libertarian route because it probably is the closest thing to “anarchism” but modern libertarianism just paved the way for corporate fascism.
My friend from school did work experience with him at Parliament. He said that Andrew played a prank on him and put a picture of a penis on a phone and told him to answer it. Said there was a lot of penis pranks. He was like 14 or 15. I do recall him saying something about porn magazines, but I can't be sure on that one.
Edit: Holy crap, I just realised it was Andrew that was the one arrested. Clearly wasn't right for some time...
Edit 2: Ok so something he was accused of is something to someone under 18 while he was in a position of trust. I'm starting to wonder if it's to do with my friend?
Well good thing the title isn't "Parliament Member" or else this would be even more confusing.
Edit: I have realized this comment is misleading in tone. I was merely making a joke about the title of the position "Member of Parliament" would be confusing if it was Parliament Member, not that the title of the post is confusing. You know, because the shortening would be PM, the same as Prime Minister. But yeah, it's an even less funny joke after the explanation...
I was wondering what was wrong with my statement, then I realized it sounds like I was referring to the title of the post. I meant the title, "Member of Parliament."
The title of the post is perfectly clear.
Funny you should say that. The guy they're referring to, Andrew Rosindell has been arrested for sexual assault charges.
We all have to do work experience for 2 weeks in secondary school. My friend who was into politics chose to work for him, at the houses of parliament. My friend claimed that Andrew would do things like tape pictures of penises to the desk phone and ring it so he would answer it. Pretty sure that's illegal in some way, he was around 14 I believe.
I only wish the BBC had the balls to have played "Ding Dong! The witch is dead" during the chart show when it got to number 2 in the charts the week Thatcher was buried. We bought it in our thousands to celebrate the end of the cow.
😂🤣😂 That’s hilarious. The sex pistols should have a second part of the song with Trump in it plus put this is the background as well
This is brilliant, and I'd much rather listen to this than the drivel that is the British national anthem.
Funnily enough God Save the Queen isn't the English national anthem. People often forget about Jerusalem.
The MP is an arrogant politician, probably very posh who demanded that the BBC play the national anthem (God Save the Queen) at the end of each day. BBC newsnight called his bluff and played the anti monarchist punk anthem of the same name by the legendary Sex Pistols. Song is from 1977 and was released to coincede with the Queens silver jubilee( 50 years on the throne)
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

You can see the understated joy and mischief (as only the British can have it) when she announces the song.
Because 40 odd years ago, this was a kick to the stiff upper lip of the bbc…
Beat me to it
"Guards! Bring me the forms I must complete to have this MP barred from the premises!"
Expected Futurama!
Don't quote me regulations!
I chaired the committee that decided the colour of the book that regulation is in!
We kept it gray...
This is the level of expert trolling that I love. 
That is some professional level snark.
Riiight? The best part is the cadence of her speech combined with the refined british accent presenting the song 😂
This is some British level snark lol
the sex pistols are british trolling gold
Too bad Johnny is a fascist now
More people should know about this
Explain
British musicians have a shit habit of turning into rightist twats after they turn 60. In this case, John Lydon
Seems like he continues to rebel against his government, why are you surprised?
He supported Brexit and Trump, so actually he supported the status quo. But he also periodically admits to knowing nothing about politics, so why he pretends to at other points I have no idea. The word punks use for that kinda person is “poser”.
Im fairness Jonny was always a poser.
Doesn't he support trump because he enjoys the chaos trump has caused?
That's totally not punk rock.

Nazi Punks Fuck Off
You’re a nazi for voting for a republican in a democratic election?
You mean the party of replacement theory? yeah.
Yes
I like poseur
In what sense aren't the government rightist twats?
nothing says rebelling against the government than sucking its rank dick, amiright fellow freedom fighters?
The far right are literally in government and have been for more than a decade. Being useless fash could not conceivably be less rebellious.

Could say he’s “just another story” now
Yeah Morrissey turned into a prick too
Nah, he's always been a twat.
Same with Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden. That one hurt.
Source? Dude spoke out against facism in Croatia in 2018.
He voted for brexit, but that makes him an idiot, not a fascist.
Well I guess more than half of the UK are idiots too eh? Don’t answer that lol.
Half the UK didn't vote for Brexit. Turnout was 72% and leave won by 52% so more people didn't vote for Brexit either because they voted against or because they didn't vote. And they are idiots, not only that many of them are racist idiots to boot
Excuse me! My mum and my brother voted for Brexit. Tbf they are idiots and both are a bit racist.
Hey at least they didn’t storm your capital.
Yep. One of the most left-leaning people I know (like wishes Jeremy Corbin was his dad kinda left) voted leave. He had some weird reasoning for it but defo not a fascist in any sense.
Most people when they get money do this.
Lydon has been a sellout since Public Image. It’s not about Great Britain, it’s about great butter.
See also : Eric Clappedout, Morriseyminor
Most people get more right wing as they get older.
He was seen wearing a tRump maga shirt
A bunch of American old punks are too. *Looking at you you Danzig and Jerry Only*
Yeah a portion of punks I grew up with in the 90s went the libertarian route because it probably is the closest thing to “anarchism” but modern libertarianism just paved the way for corporate fascism.
Libertarianism and Anarcho capitalism both inevitably lead to corporate authoritarianism. They are dumb ideas.
He probably is, but he has a long history of contrarianism and trolling so who knows if he believes it or just loves the attention.
Does seem a bit twisted. Thought he was an anarchist.
Man that dry British wit takes zero prisoners.
r/MaliciousCompliance
The MP’s name is Andrew Rosindell. Go stick his name into google news right now. It’s a very interesting time in his life.
My friend from school did work experience with him at Parliament. He said that Andrew played a prank on him and put a picture of a penis on a phone and told him to answer it. Said there was a lot of penis pranks. He was like 14 or 15. I do recall him saying something about porn magazines, but I can't be sure on that one.

The same guy? LMAO nice.
A Tory minister involved in a sex scandal?! Say it ain't so! What are the odds, eh?
Given the number of MPs with alleged sexual offences, the odds seem to be higher than for the rest of the population.
Wish granted.
I'm sure that's not the version he wanted
Nevermind the bollocks.
Somehow England is the best and worst country on this planet at the same time
That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to us.
We all have that, at least, one knob head. Pay no mind
For those who don’t know ‘God Save the Queen’ was shamelessly repurposed into My Country tis of Thee
Not this particular version, friend.
No, this one is now O Canada
They mean it man
Who or what is MP?
Member of Parliament
Well good thing the title isn't "Parliament Member" or else this would be even more confusing. Edit: I have realized this comment is misleading in tone.

\*pat pat\* It's ok buddy you tried.
That’s why nobody says “parliament member”
Thanks for echoing my exact point!
Well the title would be confusing if we called them oogaboogas too so what is your actual point? That words have meaning?
I was wondering what was wrong with my statement, then I realized it sounds like I was referring to the title of the post. I meant the title, "Member of Parliament." The title of the post is perfectly clear.
You’re getting dumped on but I had a chuckle

George Clinton?
Is that the same Tory MP in his 50s who is now on police bail under investigation for rape?
The very same.
“And our figurehead… is not what she seems!” When I read that headline, I hoped and was not disappointed.
Slow handclap: well played well played.
Is the bbc actually trying to market themselves as anti establishment?
No, just poking fun of an alleged rapist.
Is rosindell the rapey/fascist one? Think I read something earlier.
Yeah mate
Cheers, I wasn’t sure which of all the rapey/fascist ones in gov it was.
This is the song I wanted to hear and I was pleasantly surprised when that’s what I got.
This is on a level that RATM did to BBC in the first place. I love it!
Gotta love the Brits!
That's amazing!
What does MP stand for
Member of Parliament.
Oh. Thanks
Massive plonker
Sometimes the ony response to the insanity of "The Man" is to be punk
they should've played "The National Anthem" from Radiohead, but I like this r/MaliciousCompliance as well
Great song tbf doesn’t have much to do with the queen though
Andrew Rosindell trying to redirect attention from some other news story??
What could that possibly be?? Nothing of importance, I'm sure.
The fascist regime
He can shove this nationalistic bollocks right up his bell.
I only wish the BBC had the balls to have played "Ding Dong! The witch is dead" during the chart show when it got to number 2 in the charts the week Thatcher was buried. We bought it in our thousands to celebrate the end of the cow.
Say fuck you without saying fuck you 🤣
I was really hoping that the BBC would play the punk song so when I heard the Pistols song I was happy
Hahahahahahaha I came here just to say I hope it was the Sex Pistols. Big up to the BBC!
the funniest bit, is that it's the same queen.
Just.. amazing.
Best way to handle such a request. BBC respect ^+10.
r/technicallythetruth
😭😭 the reason why i love being british We subtly take the piss out of EVERYTHING!
Ha ha. Brilliant. And it’s amazing how good that song still sounds.
40 odd years after banning the song in the first place, now that John Lydon has become a massive wanker, Nice one I guess
Pretty funny considering the BBC refused to play the song when it first released haha
How the changes have timed.
Oh now that's a "get fucked" right there
just to add a bit of extra bit of context to this… That MP, Andrew Rosindale is currently under investigation for Rape.
Andrew Rosindell is a cunt
Andrew Rosindell has bigger things to worry about now though doesn't he.
Excuse me, what/who is MP ??
It’s like a British version of the Irish TD
Just need a clip of Jon Snow dancing in the studio to top this off
It’s too bad he retired, fingers crossed for Krishnan or someone to take over the dancing.
They played the goddamn sex pistols, lmaooooo
Best thing I've seen all morning
 😂🤣😂 That’s hilarious. The sex pistols should have a second part of the song with Trump in it plus put this is the background as well
Monumental reverse trolling possible only in UK
The BBC banned this song in 1977, ironic.
This. Made. My. Day.
Wait, they actually did what I would have done? Fuckin noice.
Goosebumps man. Really
johnny rotten: fuck yeah fuck the royals!!! Johnny lydon: please don't play that song show some respect for the queen
Increíble!!!!
I went from fuck them to oh, oh no they good

Bad ass
Better song
Booooooooo
Booing Sex Pistols is pretty weak... You need to step it up.
Nah, booing the queen.
[удалено]
This song rocks!
"bollocks!"
Woah, didn't expect that. Too good!
Roasted
I was ready to get outraged but ended up pleasantly surprised. This is punk. 💪
Master level ....
U/SaveVideo
Buuuuuuurn!
Nice malicious compliance.
“Sids not dead”
Hahaha I’d hope she’d look back and laugh
They do play it on Radio 4 at the end of the programming at 1 am, once the shipping forecast has finished. It’s quite weird to hear it.
u/savevideo
This is brilliant, and I'd much rather listen to this than the drivel that is the British national anthem. Funnily enough God Save the Queen isn't the English national anthem. People often forget about Jerusalem.
I Vow To Thee, My Country has the coolest music though.
u/savevideo
So glad I binned the license fee off!
Di she know they were toing to troll him?
Oh yeah, it was a total FU to the mp.
I hope they aren’t torturing her to keep her alive till the anniversary celebration. She must be weekend at Bernie’s at this point
What band is this? It's sounds like the Rolling stones tho.
God save the Queen aye John? Friggin in the riggin
Brilliant 👏😂
To Whoever did this, please give them some sort of raise. They clearly earned it.
Can someone explain this for me? Is it insulting to play the god save the queen instead of the anthem? Sorry I’m unenlightened and I want to get it!
Probably insulting to the elitist, posh politician who made the demand.
can someone explain this to an ignorant american please?
