Frank Turner is known for his political views, and has branded protesters at Margaret Thatcher's funeral 'really f**king immature'.

Turner - who has a song titled 'Thatcher F**ked The Kids' - has spoken out, saying that he definitely does not approve of people who protested at Margaret Thatcher's funeral and that it 'repelled' him.

Speaking to Gigwise, Turner said, "I'm not a fan of her of her politics but I was pretty repelled by the reaction of some people on the left. It's a f**king funeral, you know what I mean? Get over yourself.

"Because of the song that I wrote, I had people suggesting that I was going to kind of be involved in protesting, but do you know what? The Westboro Baptist Church are the kind of people who protest funerals and I'm not interested in being part of that kind of bulls**t, do you know what I mean?

"Just really gross, actually. Really f**king immature."

Turner went on to say that street parties are 'absolutely' in the same vein. "It's just - the thing is, 99% of the people involved with it haven't got a f**king clue what she was about, anyway," he finished.

"It's just a kind of - it's a silly little internet bandwagon thing, and it fucks me off. It's not serious politics."
