He reminds me of that annoying arrogant know-it-all twat that every local has
That sits on same fucking stool day after day making sure that everybody knows that The Clash weren't 'real Punk' and talking exhaustively about his in-depth knowledge of the UK democratic system and why it should be abolished in favour of anarcho-capitalism whilst making the one pint he's able to afford with his dole money last the entire fucking evening.
I'm sure somebody will rush to his defense with the claims of "He's playing a character!", which I don't doubt. But it's a shit character, and it was a shit idea.
The whole effort relied on publicly calling Boris Johnson a cunt (edgy!) whilst relying on the British public to stream/download the single as some kind of act of solidarity. He could have parodied Ladbaby's fucking awful single, kept it clean and still torn Boris a new one. Enough people fucking hate Ladbaby that they would have bought it as an act of defiance on those grounds alone, regardless of their political leanings. He could have kept it clean so it might have stood a chance of mainstream airplay and he'd have avoided using a Gary fucking Glitter anthem as the backbone for thr whole thing.
Instead, we've got some bloke publicly calling Boris a cunt. It wasn't particularly funny last year, and this year it just reeked of desperation.
At least we got to hear somebody calling Boris a cunt though. That'll show him!

^ all of that ^
His 'act' is fucking pathetic and terminally unfunny, and always has been. I don't give a fuck that he's b3ta royalty, he's Mike Flowers Pops for lolwaki pricks.

I've just looked up lolwaki and i still don't know what it is
But prick? Yea, i suppose.
I find the main source of the humour to be the unexpected rhyming couplets. He's been a bit inconsistent with his output over the years but he's got some bangers. Plus the songs are very singalongable, so even past the point where you realise what words you're* singing when you're* singing along to "Wank the Dog" it's generally uplifting.
*Well, obviously not you because you don't like it.

I've been an ardent supporter of Kunt
I think there's a place for rude honesty. But I agree with everything you've said. Damn you b3ta and your compelling arguments.

Worth remembering at this point that you had to retire your previous account on here because you were acting the edgelord pub bore

It's not really an act, he does actually think that johnson is a fucking cunt
While I accept your point that it's not particularly articulate, it serves as one medium by which the British public can express their ire of the fucking cunt in question (without getting arrested for protesting) (for now). The options you mentioned were not needed to achieve that goal.
And you're right, the fucking cunt in question won't give a shit about this, but we could on for quite a while about the things that he doesn't give a shit about. If we were using his concern as a barometer there wouldn't be much point making any kind of statement.

It's self-promotion, pure and simple.
Calling BoJo a cunt is neither clever nor funny, it's just a never-was attention whore desperately trying to make people pay attention to him. It's tiresome, and more than a little sad.

Congrats if you can be bothered to read all this
If by never-was you mean someone with a continuing fan-base who managed to get him to #5 in the UK charts, at the most popular time of the year to buy singles, 2 years in a row, despite no marketing budget or label support, then I think you might be setting your success criteria a bit high (I suspect much higher than Kunt himself).
In terms of being an attention whore, it is fairly common for people who make music for a living to publicise their work so I'm not sure what makes him exceptional there.
Regarding the subject matter, cleverness or hilarity aside, it is relevant and accurate (not necessarily in a literal sense but certainly figuratively). It's clearly a topic which resonates with lots of people, and speaking for myself, has offered a cathartic outlet to express frustration over a situation which I am powerless to change. Its success has brought a modicum of delight to my day, so attention whore or not, it has some benefit beyond the artist (including some funds being sent to charities which, as he acknowledges in his FAQ, is not the motivating force behind the pursuit but is an additional bonus).
You may say that the minor joy I have achieved in engaging in this campaign makes me as sad as the situation from your perspective, and I would agree. I, and lots of other people, would be much more happy if there was someone in charge of the UK who had any semblence of competence and/or integrity, in which case such action would not be necessary.

Could've done something funny though
rather than just shouting swears as if it's still big and clever when you're pushing... I dunno... he has one of those faces that could be 30 or 60. Whatever, old enough to know he should get a writer on board if he has no wit or creativity of his own. Plenty people here would do a much better job pro bono.
He got as far as he did just by shouting naughty words. Imagine what he might have achieved if he'd made it even a tiny bit humorous.

I doubt he would have got much further
The point is more who the naughty words are directed at. But yea, he probably should have led with the version with the actual lyrics.

he's alright
I always cut anyone taking the piss plenty of slack, and as george galloway said to Saddam Hussein, I admire his indefatigability. and there's a fair bit of charm about his songs, as rude as they are. personal references to the joys of wanking and simple desires. he's no soap box shouter

Listening now, great lyricist. Quite Chas and Dave, could be more musical though.
When I was on Urban75, all they ever went on about was Half Man Half Biscuit.
