John Lydon: 'The Monarchy Are Daft Inbred Tw*ts'

Ahead of the re-release of ‘God Save The Queen’, John Lydon has called the monarchy a ‘a bunch of inbred daft twats.’

The Sex Pistols frontman says he’s got no personal problem with the Queen – in fact, he thinks she might be a delightful old lady – but, he hates the institution of the monarchy and their ‘spoilt brat’ ways.

Speaking about the infamous song, Lydon said: “It’s never personal. It’s about the institution and the way it’s separated itself from the rest of us and we/you the taxpayer are “obliged” to be loyal. I find that a bit repulsive because it is the same way we were “obliged” to be loyal to Tony Blair and he took us to war.

“I think each person should have the right to say how they feel about these things, and if that’s our monarchy, well, it will be my monarchy when I have a say about it. And there’s no youth rebellion now; there’s bugger all being done.”

Quizzed by Something For The Weekend about his issue, he commented: “It’s the spoilt-brat side of it that I resented — and the isolation that those people suffer. It’s made them a load of inbred daft twats.”
