Nottingham's Sleaford Mods have received a "telling off" from Twitter this week after sharing a tweet in which the band swore at a senior Conservative politician.
The band's Twitter account @sleafordmods was suspended for around a day because of a tweet from frontman Jason Williamson to Jacob Rees-Mogg.
The statement in question, posted to their 53,000 followers earlier this week, included some strong language and said: "@Jacob_Rees_Mogg shut up you f***** c***."
This isn't the first time the band's Twitter account has been deactivated for breaching community guidelines so Jason, who runs the page, wasn't surprised.
The frontman added: "Twitter normally tells me off, I get two or three bans a year, I think it just sweeps and picks words like that up and I think that's how it's done it.
"I don't think it was done just because it was a Conservative MP, I imagine [Twitter] wouldn't be bothered about stuff like that, they seem to be getting better.
"They've stopped putting up with Trump's [rubbish] so I don't think it's in support of that, it goes across the board."
Although he can't remember exactly what the offending tweet was in response to, Jason claimed it was likely triggered because Rees-Mogg is "constantly quoting stuff about Jesus Christ".
Jason added: "It's just really disturbing, I find someone like that to be religious and I don't get it.
"I stand by what I said.
"Do you carry on in a passive way, in a way that is more calm or do you say what you really think?"
According to the Nottingham lad, "anyone with their eyes open at the moment" has seen that there is a lot of misery in the UK.
As well as being busy on social media, the Sleaford Mods have been working on a new compilation album which features work from across their 13-year career.
The record, released on May 15 with bandmate Andrew Fearn, has been described as a collection of "crowd-pleasers, B-sides, unheard tracks and rarities for fans and the curious".
Speaking of the album, Jason said: "It has been a lot of hard work, we've had interviews on Zoom, it's quite time consuming but it did really well it went to number 10 in the Official Albums Chart so that's just brilliant.
"It's good to have it out, we've got it under our belts and we can move forward to whatever we are going to transform into."
