Ginger Baker lambasts politicians on TV
Veteran rocker GINGER BAKER caused an upset during an appearance on a political talk show by branding Members of Parliament (MPs) "crooks" and refusing to speak to his fellow panellists.
The former Cream star was a guest on BBC current affairs series This Week to discuss his career with host Andrew Neil.
Baker was talking about his decision not to quit music when Neil made a reference to the other two panellists, MP Alan Johnson and former politician Michael Portillo, and the rocker refused to acknowledge the pair.
The drummer told Neil, "He's an MP... I don't speak to them, they're all b**ody crooks," prompting the host to quickly change the subject.
