Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What or who do you hate but everybody else seems to love??

Isn't he the main carer for his wife, who has dementia? Sounds like quite a decent thing to be doing.

Also, I'm not sure it was really his goal to be loved.

Just because he's his wife's carer doesn't stop his public persona being that of a charmless git. I think such a persona was always his goal.

I've always been of the opinion that John Lydon was a pointless waste of organs, so learning that he does actually have the compassion, patience, and devotion to care for his wife was a huge surprise.
(the fact it probably keeps him too busy to clutter up the TV with his self agrandizing twaddle is a nice size benefit)

(I think his public persona is very much just a part of him. He comes out quite well in other people’s accounts of him, for example Viv Albertine’s autobiography. He’s been with his wife since the Seventies.)

+1 for bacon. I’ve never really been a big sausage man either (fnarr, fnarr)
