True Alex, same here. It basically went all different ways too which was  
beyond me.

Those lyrics are spot-on!!!
 
He'd know about prejudice too -  wasn't the straight-edge 'religion' his 
little baby?

Ade,
 
That is a trip. It is like the Minor Threat song "Guilty of Being  White".. 
Which basically accuses Ian MacKaye of being   prejudice. 
 
“Guilty Of Being White"

 
 
I'm sorry
For something I didn't do
Lynched somebody
But I  don't know who
You blame me for slavery
A hundred years before I was  born

Guilty of being white

I'm a convict
Of a racist  crime
I've only served
19 years of my time

Guilty of being  white 
 
Now for the Lydon ordeal I believe it wasn't him and it was his  thuggy 
friends. After all he was friends, or maybe still is  with Don Letts? And their was 
also black dude in his band PIL  too if I am not mistaken in later years?

Years  ago, my asian/muslim mate (Moh) was recounting to me the time his car  
overheated & he was fucking about under the bonnet, trying to sort  it out. 
He reminisced about how he went to a nearby shop to get some  help & was 
embarrassed 'cos his hands were covered in oil & were  black from it. It was just a 
conversation about car woes.

At this  point my black friend jumped in & started challenging seriously as  
to "What's wrong with having black hands?"

It occurred to me  & Moh that the prick was nothing more than a race-card 
playing  wanker, of which there are MANY. You know, those people that my lefty  
friends don't believe exist.

Sounds a bit like this story too,  though I admit my bias in favour of Lydon. 
Nevertheless, I can imagine  his thicko mates behaving in typical grunt 
fashion, but was that John?  We shall see...


ade.

PS. I LOVE DOUBLE-STANDARDS, OF  COURSE THEY DON'T HARM SOCIETY & BREED 
RESENTMENT - THAT'S FOR  RACISTS. Whatever 'racist' means these days. INJUSTICE FOR 
 ALL!!!!!
