Smiths fan David Cameron presented with Salford Lads t-shirt

Johnny Marr has yet to comment

Noel Gallagher: The former Oasis turned solo legend once told BBC's Newsnight: "David Cameron is no different from Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown is no different from David Cameron. They're all cut from the cloth and it annoys me that the biggest political icon from the last 30 years has been Margaret Thatcher, someone who tried to destroy the working class... it freaks me out you know. So I don't really think there's anything left to vote for."

Lily Allen: The Labour-voting Sheezus slammed Cameron and co in her track 'I Was Born In The 80s' when she sang: "Few things been happening lately - Mr Cameron, please sedate me. It%u2019s all gone a bit Scargill, move on man, pay your bar bill. Don't forget to take your friends with you, I'm a red girl - Sick of this, sick of this, go fuck your mum. Sick of this Coalition, what you done?"

Nick Mulvey: Cameron confessed to being a fan of Mulvey, finding him 'a bit grungey'. When quizzed on his thoughts of the endorsement, Mulvey said he felt "a bit sick."

Tricky: Seemingly has a hatred for politicians in general, rather than just our PM, telling Fact: "Now you've got Bono hanging out with the Pope and Obama. As a musician to hang out with a politician, I think it's disgusting. David Cameron? Obama? I wouldn't shake their hand for 1,000,000 pounds."

Tom Meighan: The Kasabian frontman slammed Cameron for not being harder on Gary Barlow after his alleged tax avoidance controversy: "Cameron would back him up because he�s his little ally. You pay your tax and so do I. Come on."

John Lydon: Yes, punk demi-god Johnny Rotten hates Cameron and the Tories too, telling The Guardian: "We are still troublemakers, just about. That's good. But we've let those two rosy-cheeked dribbling posh boys take the reins and that's bad. Get them out! "

Cheryl Cole: The Tory leader has once described her as the 'most fanciable' member of Girls Aloud. In Q Magazine's interview she replied "David Cameron. Brrrrr. Slippery isn't he? We've always been Labour in our family, it just feels wrong not to be. Better the devil you know."

Adele: Yup, the 'Rolling In The Deep' superstar is on record as slamming Cameron as a "wally", adding "I�m a Labour girl through and through", before attakcing his policies on taxes, trains and schools.

Alex Kapranos: Back in 2012, the Franz Ferdinand frontman succinctly tweeted: "Fuck Murdoch, Fuck The Sun, Fuck Cameron. Don't vote Tory! (Not that I suspect any of you would anyway, of course)."

The Housemartins: After Cameron referenced the 1980s band whilst making a speech congratulating Hull on their City of Culture accolade, saying: "I remember, some years ago that great Housemartins' album which was London 0, Hull 4", frontman Paul Heaton slammed the PM on Twitter. He also announced he had banned the PM and George Osbourne from his Salford pub. HARSH.

Guy Garvey: The Mercury-winning Elbow frontman once told Metro: "We're all aware of what tough times we're having� David Cameron's less-than-subtle dismantling of the NHS is on everyone's mind. The new push with police commissioners � it�s depressing watching him turning the country back to the Victorian era. That's why everyone's depressed. This bunch of bastards are using the recession to get the Tory work done� It will take us a couple of decades to undo this bunch's handiwork."

Thom Yorke: Cameron admits to being a huge Radiohead fan. The feeling is not mutual. When asked by Dazed about the prospect of the the PM using his music, Yorke replied: "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 shit out of him if he did."

Stuart Braithwaite: Mogwai were very vocal supporters of the Scottish Independence campaign, with guitarists Braithwaite saving some very choice words for Cameron's tactics on Twitter: "David Cameron using uber unionist press to plead for No says that it%u2019s his own job he%u2019s trying to save, not the No campaign."

Keane: Yes, even Keane. Cameron used the band's track 'Everybody's Changing' at one of his campaign rallies, and the East Sussex quartet were uncharacteristically pissed off. Well, pissed off in a Keane sort of way, which meant drummer Richard Hughes said rather reasonably "it would just be polite to check the band wouldn't mind being associated with the party". He explained that the band were "horrified" by the whole shebang.

Nicky Wire: Their working class spirit drives everything that the Manics do, so it's fair to say that the barbed mouth of Mr Wire will always have a few cross words for Cameron. Explaining the searing '30 Year War' from Rewind The Film in which he slams 'the endless parade of old Etonian scum that line the front benches', Wire told The Quietus: "There%u2019s that line about 'hiding Lowry%u2019s paintings' as well, the idea of connoisseurs of taste is such a London-centric thing: 'We%u2019ll keep these in storage because he%u2019s a Sunday painter.' He%u2019s not, he%u2019s a true genius - it%u2019s not just matchstick men, there%u2019s true depth to his painting. I find that elitist, 'We know what%u2019s better' is so all pervading, from the monarchy to fucking Cameron to Mumford and Sons. We%u2019re just told."

Plan B: Attacking Cameron for his approach to the London riots, the 'Ill Manors' star said: "He never said 'hug a hoodie'; the press came up with that and he got loads of flak for it. Cameron's still a dickhead. He can come out with a speech like that, but when the riots actually happened, he goes, 'Oh, we're going to severely punish them all.' And it's like, well, what happened to 'hug a hoodie' now?"

Morrissey: Mozza backed Marr's boycott on Cameron being allowed to listen to The Smiths, saying: "I beg you to notice the unbearable dimension of sorrow that David Cameron is attempting to inflict upon British wildlife." Explaining his bile in a statement in 2013 when he slammed the PM for condoning the right to 'shoot stag whenever he feels a bit bored'. He also slammed the PMs stance on the Malvinas, adding: "Cameron is haughtily aghast when people run riot on the streets of Coventry stealing hair-dryers worth ten pounds. Outrage!"

Johnny Marr: We almost felt sorry for Cameron when after choosing The Smith's hit 'This Charming Man' as a favourite during his Desert Island Discs appearance. Guitarist Johnny Marr took to Twitter to literally FORBID Cameron from liking the band. Earlier this year, he told The Guardian: "I'm not being dramatic, but I actually did get depressed in a way that surprised me, and it lasted quite a long time, when the current government got in."

Paul Weller: In 2008, our Prime Minister described listening to The Jam's 'Eton Rifles' while at the school of the same name. Weller wasn't impressed, responding the famous 1979 song "wasn't intended as a fucking jolly drinking song for the cadet corps."

In news that will no doubt enrage Smiths fans (and Johnny Marr) David Cameron has been presented with a limited edition Salford Lads Club T-shirt.

Manchester Evening News journalist Neal Keeling presented the shirt to Cameron when he was visiting the office. “You have made my day. Thank you very much, there is a light that never goes out,” said the Prime Minister.

Cameron's endorsement of the Smiths has not been a happy one. He visted the Lads Club in 2008 and in 2010 selected 'This Charming Man' as one of his Desert Islands Discs. However, shortly after Johnny Marr announced on Twitter that he 'forbid' the Prime Minister listening to the band.

Morrissey echoed his bandmates sentiment, writing "It is true that music is a universal language - the ONLY universal language, and belongs to all, one way or another. However, with fitting grimness I must report that David Cameron hunts and shoots and kills stags - apparently for pleasure. It was not for such people that either Meat is Murder or The Queen is Dead were recorded; in fact they were made as a reaction against such violence."

The limited edition Salford Lads t-shirt has sold over 1000 copies. The photo was taken outside the Ordsall club during a 1985 photoshoot, and was used for the inner sleeve of the band's The Queen Is Dead album. Stephen Wright has licensed the picture for the club's T-shirts until November 2015.

Money from the shirts, which are on sale for £15, will be used to fund six young people from the club to go to America as part of a Salford Sioux Project exchange programme.

Initially, 80 T-shirts were made by the club, but after the story began to gain publicity, the club has seen a huge demand from across the world, and have now begun printing more. Although if Cameron ever actually wears his, we can see demand dropping off very quickly.
