A "GLC Councilor" comments on punk rock…

The 1980 rock/mockumentary "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle" features remarks from a purported member of the Greater London Council regarding punk rock generally and the Sex Pistols in particular. As the band's manager brags in the same film about faking and otherwise hyping negative press, the authenticity of the speaker should probably be doubted, but I think whatever the case, the result is a great hatchet piece:

My personal view on punk rock is that it’s nauseating, disgusting, degrading, ghastly, sleazy, prurient, voyeuristic, and generally nauseating. I think that just about covers it, as far as I’m concerned. I think most of these groups would be vastly improved by sudden death. The worst of the punk rock groups, I suppose currently, are the Sex Pistols. They are unbelievably nauseating. They are the antithesis of human kind. I would like to see somebody dig a very, very large, exceedingly deep hole and drop the whole bloody lot down it. I think the whole world would be vastly improved by their total and utter non-existence.
