The Housemartins' Paul Heaton bans David Cameron from his pub for liking their music
It appears that David Cameron will soon have nothing on his iPod that he’s actually allowed to listen to, after being scolded by The Housemartins singer Paul Heaton for being a fan of his former band.
First Morrissey and Johnny Marr told the Tory leader that he wasn’t allowed to like The Smiths, now Heaton has not taken well to compliments made during Prime Minister’s Questions this week.
“Of course in terms of popular music Hull has a fantastic record,” the UK prime minister recently told the Commons. “I remember, some years ago that great Housemartins’ album which was London 0 Hull 4.”
Heaton replied via Twitter: ”Well, apparently David Cameron likes London 0 Hull 4. Which part of the attack on his policies and rich friends did he like best?”
Continuing: “When I took over my pub in Salford, the first people I barred was Cameron and (George) Osborne. That ban still stands.”
At least Cameron still has some famous fans in the form of Haim…
