Man Removed from Plane for Singing Along with The Clash

I know not everyone is a fan of punk, but this is ridiculous:

British anti-terrorism detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi driver had earlier become suspicious when he started singing along to a track by punk band The Clash, police said Wednesday.

Detectives halted the London-bound flight at Durham Tees Valley Airport in northern England and Harraj Mann, 24, was taken off.

The taxi driver had become worried on the way to the airport because Mann had been singing along to The Clash’s 1979 anthem “London Calling,” which features the lyrics “Now war is declared — and battle come down” while other lines warn of a “meltdown expected.”

“He didn’t like Led Zeppelin or The Clash but I don’t think there was any need to tell the police,” Mann told the Daily Mirror.

Lucky for Mann he wasn’t listening to the Sex Pistol’s “Anarchy in the UK” or anything by Gang of Four. He’d be at a black site undergoing “interrogation” as we speak…
