Thom Yorke has threatend David Cameron with legal action, should the PM ever use any of his music in a political campaign for the Conservative party.
Speaking to Dazed and Confused magazine, Yorke said, "I can't say I love the idea of a banker liking our music, or David Cameron.
"But I also equally think, who cares? As long as he doesn't use it for his election campaigns, I don't care. I'd sue the living s**t out of him if he did."
He added, "I can't believe he'd like King of Limbs much."
Yorke also spoke about seeing President Obama at the 2009 climate change summit in Copenhagen.
"I went to the Copenhagen summit, and that permanently flipped my lid, because the whole thing was so wrong," he said. "Obama stormed straight past me after the meeting he had with China, and it was just horrible.
"It sort of spun me out permanently to be honest. When you're presented with that level of stupidity it king of blows your mind."
However, Yorke did say that he wouldn't be writing any political songs, saying, "Politics is not a fun thing to write about."
Thom Yorke - don't expect to see him at No 10 any time soon...
He finished by explaining that he has a yoga routine in order to combat the adrenaline drop after being on tour.
The Atoms For Peace frontman said, "I do a minimum of an hour's yoga a day, usually an hour and a half. Coming off tour you have this mad adrenalin, so it's a way of stopping the adrenalin crash. It stops me dropping."
