Punk is truly dead when you hear the UK Subs have gone and sacked their drummer for a mean tweet.
Yes, really!
That is like the most unpunk move you could make, as the whole essence of punk is not to give a flying fuck about polite sensibilities.
The dastardly tweet in question was tweeted by drummer Jamie Oliver (no not the TV chef) in response to the murder of a Tory MP:
What this reveals is that the Subs are merely an old men's nostalgia grifting operation with zero cred, not an actual working punk band, which would have absolutely "no problemo" with a member taking the piss out of a dead Tory MP or even puking up all over his grave.
Honestly I'd have a LOT more respect for Harper and Co. if they just admitted the real reason they were kicking Oliver out of the band was because he was much more handsome than the rest of them and was scoring 110% of the band's diminishing groupie supply.
