Is John Lydon a twat?

[teuchter]

Sex Pistols star Johnny Rotten has asked Los Angeles police officials to help him keep punk invaders from his Venice Beach home.

The British rocker, aka John Lydon, has been living in California for years, but insists his permanent holiday in the sun is no longer fun as homeless fans target his place as a party pad.

The Anarchy in the U.K. singer tells Newsweek thugs have started ripping the bars from the windows of his home, breaking windows and turning the home into a tent city.

"A couple of weeks ago I had a problem," he says. "They came over the gate and put their tent inside, right in front of the front door... And if you complain, what are you? Oh, one of the establishment elite? No, I’m a bloke that’s worked hard for his money and I expect to be able to use my own front door."

Lydon reveals his wife Nora, who is battling Alzheimer’s, lives in constant fear her home will be ransacked by unwelcome visitors.

"My wife’s ill and she can’t cope with this," John explains. "But at 2am last week, a brick whizzed through the top floor window, the bedroom. Sorry, Mr. Policeman. I need your help.

"The vagrants moved in en masse... (in) tent cities... They’re all, like, 24..

"They’re aggressive, and because there’s an awful lot of them together they're gang-y."

He's also concerned for his Venice community, revealing heroin use has spiked and there are used needles all over the beach.

"You can’t take anyone to the beach because there’s jabs just waiting for young kids to put their feet in - and poo all over the sand," he rages.

Johnny Rotten asks police for help as Venice Beach home is targeted by homeless thugs

Johnny Rotten would fit in very well as a poster on urban these days, I think.

Maybe he can move back to his London crib which doesn't look too shabby.

Venice Beach is strange place to leave the relative sanctity of Malibu for. It's awash with homeless people, hustlers, posers, tourists, drug addicts and general nutters. Of all the places in LA, that's not somewhere I'd want to live.

No doubt he's done his best to butter up the local authorities.

Who’d have thought there’d come a time when Johnny Vegas could play Johnny Rotten in a film.

It's horrible! . Still, I always find it cheering to see something I couldn't possibly afford and think I really wouldn't want it anyway.

 

[Cid]

There’s nothing to say that London place is his is there? Just says he lived there 1978-81.

There has to be a compound German word for that!

I believe in this, and it's been tested by research.

They have no excuse for behaving like this - they're petty. Petty vagrants. And they don't care.

 

[Humberto]

Quite like the guys askance aspect and rebelliousness.

 

[Humberto]

Not that I care what you think: Is what what Lydon would say. Which is fair.
