John Lydon has called UK’s Prime Minster and his deputy “****s”.<\/p>\n
The controversial Sex Pistols frontman – who lives in the US – blasted the current coalition government made up between the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties, headed by David Cameron and Nick Clegg respectively.<\/p>\n
After collecting the trophy for Best Book, for ‘Mr Rotten’s Scrapbook’, at Wednesday’s (23.02.11) Shockwaves NME Awards in London, he told BANG Showbiz: “I don’t want your awards, what I want is respect, and the same kind of respect for 30 years that I’ve shown you, the British people. <\/p>\n
“I’ve never lied to any of you, you know this to be true – stop lying to me, and we might start making a better world. <\/p>\n
“And by the way, how are them two ****s for the price of one running the country at the moment? That’s what you get for not listening.”<\/p>\n
Despite saying he “couldn’t care less” about awards, John – also known as Johnny Rotten – said he felt he’d have been a better candidate for the annual Godlike Genius NME trophy than Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, who was its 2011 recipient. <\/p>\n
He said: “Honestly I feel in my mind that I’ve won every award on that list anyway for 30 years of serious work in this industry. And a magazine like this wouldn’t appreciate that and they’d rather give it to an American called a Foo Fighter. That was lovely. It’s hilarious! I hope he takes it serious.”<\/p>\n
