Suzanne Harrington: It's a blow when heroes like Morrissey and John Lydon turn out to be idiots

John Lydon has made a career out of offending people, but now he is offending Us, not Them.

“How does this happen to a person? He was a working-class Irish lad growing up in London. He's been vocally anti-imperial. His f---ing autobiography is called No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs. Is it money? Is it age? He's been an eejit for a while, but this is bad.”

This is Blindboy talking about John Lydon, and the resurfaced 2018 photo of the former Sex Pistol which has been pinballing around Twitter: the one with the portly former anarchist antichrist wearing a red Make America Great Again t-shirt. Oh dear.
