Never mind the wokeness! Sex Pistols’ John Lydon hits out at ‘spoilt, selfish’ snowflakes for contributing to cancel culture
Sex Pistols rocker John Lydon has hit out at ‘spoilt’ snowflakes and declared wokeness a ‘load of b******s’.
The singer, 65, also known as Johnny Rotten, slammed cancel culture for tearing down and defacing statues, including Winston Churchill, over racism claims.
In an expletive-laden interview with the Daily Star, John slammed the woke brigade and said universities created ‘spoilt’ snowflakes with ‘s**t for brains’.

John said passionately: ‘These people aren’t really genuinely disenfranchised at all, they just view themselves as special. It’s selfishness and in that respect it’s divisive and can only lead to trouble.
‘Where is this ‘moral majority’ nonsense coming from when they’re basically the ones doing all the wrong for being so b****y judgmental and vicious against anybody who doesn’t go along with the current popular opinion?
‘It’s just horribly, horribly tempestuous spoilt children coming out of colleges and universities with s**t for brains.’

Talking about how the Winston Churchill statue was defaced by Extinction Rebellion vandals, who spray-painted the word ‘racist’ on the base of the moment, John said ‘this man saved Britain’ and that ‘whatever he got up to in South Africa or India beforehand is utterly irrelevant to the major issue in hand’.
The rocker went on to thank Winston and said if it wasn’t for him, we would be ‘walking up and down the high street with jackboots and helmets’.
It comes after John candidly discussed last week becoming a full-time carer for his wife Nora Forster who has Alzheimer’s.
The singer has said that he has now accepted that his beloved wife’s condition is ‘incurable’ and will ‘never improve’.

Speaking to The Times he explained how her Alzheimer’s is a ‘wicked and debilitating’ disease and, although she forgets most things, she ‘doesn’t forget me’.
John married the German publishing heiress, 78, in 1979 and first revealed his wife’s devastating diagnosis in 2018.
He said on Saturday: ‘Alzheimer’s is a wicked, debilitating, slow, deliberate process, but we’re going through that together.
‘She doesn’t forget me. She forgets everything else but not me.’
He added: ‘I know it’s going to deteriorate into something really, really terrible, but we’re facing it with a sense of dignity.’
