The Housemartins Spurn Cameron's Praises

The Prime Minister is fast turning in to the least popular groupie in town.

David Cameron has been spurned by another of his musical heroes after praising the work of The Housemartins in the House of Commons.

Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron hailed the1980s band while congratulating Hull on being made the UK's next City of Culture.

He said: "And of course in terms of popular music Hull has a fantastic record, I remember, some years ago that great Housemartins' album which was London 0 Hull 4".

His comments were not, it seems, well-received.

The band's former lead singer, Paul Heaton, immediately took to Twitter telling fans: "Well, apparently David Cameron likes London 0 Hull 4. Which part of the attack on his policies and rich friends did he like best???"

The singer, who led the left-wing Humberside band until they split up in 1988, added: "When I took over my pub in Salford, the first people I barred was Cameron and (George) Osborne. That ban still stands."

He then tweeted Labour MP Tom Watson: "Cameron has ruined my day ... Thought you guys were in there to shut him up?" before linking to a video of an interview in which he criticised former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

Morrissey said he was uneasy afer Cameron described himself as a fan

It is not the first time Mr Cameron's advances have been so brutally rebuffed.

Two years ago, after Mr Cameron had disclosed he was a fan of The Smiths, Morrissey described his unease with such a following saying it was a "moral issue" because the Prime Minister had hunted stag.

The band's guitarist Johnny Marr pulled no punches banning Mr Cameron from being a fan.

In 2010 the drummer of Keane said he was "horrified" after the Conservative party played the band's  2004 song Everybody's Changing at their manifesto launch.

At the Conservative Party Conference in 2011 Home Secretary Theresa May angered the rock band Primal Scream by walking off after her speech to their song Rocks.

The band pointed out that the lyrics – "Dealers keep dealin'/Thieves keep thievin'/Whores keep whorin'/Junkies keep scorin'." – were inappropriate in the circumstances and stressed that they were wholly opposed to the Coalition Government.
