The last thing Brexit needs is support from an ageing Sex Pistol

John Lydon – aka Johnny Rotten, the former Sex Pistols front man –  has voiced support for Brexit, and some seem to think this is a good thing. Appearing on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, he said: ‘Where do I stand on Brexit? Well, here it goes, the working class have spoke and I’m one of them and I’m with them,’ before revealing he admires Nigel Farage.

Perhaps he should have left it there, but This Morning was only the beginning of Rotten’s slithery journey across the nation’s media. After all, he has a book to promote! (Mr Rotten’s Songbook, if you’re interested – out on 31 March). Later on, Rotten could be found in the Guardian telling its music editor about everything from his childhood ‘poo-poo’ explosions, to his nasal passages, before moving on again to the EU referendum, chanting: ‘We’ve got Brexit, so let’s exit.’
