'He’s a bell end' says Jon McClure

Reverend And The Makers leader Jon McClure has slammed Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell, calling him a "bell end".

The singer, whose band release their debut album 'The State Of Things' in September, even drew paralells between Borrell and Adolf Hitler.

"He’s a bell end," McClure told The Guardian. “He doesn’t mean anything he says."

"On one level I respect his self-confidence," McClure continued, "in the way you might begrudgingly respect Hitler for building the autobahns.

"If it were matched with a genuine talent and intelligence then fair enough, but he hasn’t got either. He’s just got a big gob."
