Just a week after the son of Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren announced that he would burn £5 million of old merch to protest England’s appropriation of punk culture for its Punk London celebration (and to just stick it to the Queen in general), the British government is once again stomping all over punk’s anti-establishment ideals by trying to preserve an important monument in its history. Those dicks. This comes from the BBC, which reports that a townhouse in London that the Sex Pistols used as both a home and a studio in the ‘70s has been granted “Grade II*” historical landmark status, which is “the second highest category that buildings can be listed as.”
