"(Fat White Family's) Saoudi went on to elaborate in a Facebook post that the last thing our increasingly puritanical culture needs right now is a bunch of self-neutering middle-class boobs telling us to be nice to immigrants; you might call that art, I call it sententious pedantry.

The article isn't saying they are anti-immigrant. It's two bands beefing over the proper way to be progressive.

I like the few Idles songs I've heard but I know absolutely nothing about either of these bands outside of it. The article seemed so silly.

You're right I don't know anything about music because I haven't heard of two random UK indie bands
