In other news, earlier this year, Booth hit out at far-right activist Tommy Robinson and attendees of the “unite the kingdom” rally, for their “cynical” use of the band’s track ‘Sit Down’.
Robinson used the song in a video posted to X/Twitter, which showed the size of the crowd at the rally. Booth said he was “disgusted” by the use of the song, without the band’s permission, and called the track “the antithesis” of the far-right activist’s movement.
