Even the cover of the new Madness song, Bullingdon Boys, is a jab at Boris Johnson and his colleagues – including former PM David Cameron.
Mr Cameron is depicted in the mask worn by serial killer Michael Myers in the Halloween movies.
And Mr Johnson’s face is replaced by that of Porky Pig.
Other club members are depicted as a red-eyed reptile, the Devil, and an S&M fetishist (as far as I can tell).
According to NME, the song is the first Madness have released in three years, and is described as a “barbed swipe at the charlatans, rotters and chancers at the top of the tree who have done their best to take the shine off 2019.”
Inspired by the fact that 19 of the 54 UK Prime Ministers have come from Eton, the new song takes aim at Johnson, who was educated at Eton College before going on to study at Oxford, and his peers with anti-Tory lyrics.
The tagline on the artwork is a clear call for those of us with good taste in music to use our votes against Mr Johnson and his Tory cronies: “Don’t get bullied by the bully boys.”
If you haven’t already heard it via This Site’s previous article, here’s the song itself, again:
