Sean Moore, drummer of Manic Street Preachers, was called upon to respond to the band’s new album being advertised in the Daily Mail this afternoon.
A representative of the Stop Funding Hate campaign tweeted at Moore this afternoon noting how the band’s new album ‘Resistance Is Futile’ was being advertised in the pages of the right-wing paper.
The original tweet read: “Surprised to see the Manic Street Preachers advertise in the Mail, probably unaware but surely you can’t tolerate this?”, to which Moore responded: “Hope not”.
The Manics drummer then went on to tweet: “Completely disowned whoever this is please not in our name” in response to the album advert.
