Enter Shikari frontman Rou Reynolds recently spoke out in protest against the rise of Donald Trump, telling Gigwise: "Before, it was largely a lot of comedy and a lot of fun, but recently it turned a bit bitter. Saying that he wanted to ban all Muslim immigration into the country made the world realise that he was real and not just a bit of a jester.
"It's a lot more extreme but kind of similar to Boris Johnson - he's got this personality that's a bit goofy and people love to hate him, but at the heart of his ideas is a pretty horrific sentiment. So yeah, I'm kind of hoping that any actual election will see him fail and he can just carry on doing The Apprentice or whatever and we can all just forget it happened. It is frightening that he does seem to be building momentum with the far right in America. Here in the UK, you can tell that a lot of it is because of priviledge and you can see through it, but in America there's a lot of stupidity and the far right do live up to that 'stupid Yank' mentality and it is very worrying."
