The man moaned about being beaten to xmas number one by "two queens and a drum machine" (pet shop boys cover of always on my mind is a better song so fuck off), and these lyrics from transmetropolitan are..eek.
From Brixton's lovely boulevards
To Hammersmith's sightly shores
We'll scare the Camden Palace poofs
And worry all the whores
There's leechers up in Whitehall
And queers in the GLC
And when we've done those bastards in
We'll storm the BBC
