Mr. Rotten isn't a fan of Farage's shenanigans

John Lydon has spoken out against UKIP, summing them up perfectly as a "black hole" for "ignorant" voters.

Speaking during a live Guardian Q&A, the Sex Pistols front man continued what could be considered quite a roll of great political interviews. First he went up against Jon Humphrys, then got emotional with Jon Snow and yesterday he called Russell Brand a "butthole" for telling the public to abstain from voting. 

When asked about UKIP, Lydon defined the far right party as: "A black hole for the ignorant to fall into. That’s it. Farage? I wonder what the roots of that name are. I think he’s faragical."

Lydon also lamented the effect the internet has had on music and punk: "Since the demise of record stores and corner shops, the social aspect of music, and in particular live venues, is being reduced. Communication has been reduced to the all-glorious failure of the international highway of truth we now know as the internet. Impersonal. Does not solve the problems that are so deeply personal. Hello, human beings."
