the sentence "Lydon was kicked out of school at age fifteen after a run-in with a teacher, and went on to attend Hackney College, where he befriended John Simon Ritchie, and Kingsway Princeton College." is confusing to me. Kingsway Princeton College? is that someone's name or a college? lol. Forgive me, I'm not familiar with Kingsway Princeton College.

Someone with better knowledge than me should fix the citation I just added on the section about the 1978 interview in which he mentioned the rumours around Jimmy Savile – as it stands, it points to a YouTube clip, but it should refer to the actual episode of the show in question. rariteh (talk) 07:12, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Mislabelling an individual's beliefs about children-raising / dynamics-of , as "gay marraige", is missing the point about who's included in a person's rejections of any/all EXcluded, by their belief - i.e. if Johnny ALSO rejects hetro-single parents, or single-parent adoptions, etc, then he is only-INcluding gay couple adoption/similar, in a, as-much-as-any-that-do-not (create an orthodox/anthrpological/natural environment (pairing, sexual(gendered) animals,.. whatever.))
i.e. he NEITHER said anything that ONLY,.. specifically,.. targeted,.. gay couples in terms of child-raising / households,
NOR was he making a point about gay marriage, were all-marriages FOR, sitations of adoption - as in, not every marraige LEADS to aoption, or IVF or similar(one bixesual woman, etc)
If the failure is reasonably short-sighted in terms of a generalisation about what in the media at that time, was being FOCUSED on, in-issue, in relation to gay marriage, then THAT, is the issue at hand.
in other words, it would be both proper AND more-accurate, to make a section on his past-opinion about non-orthodox/natural child-rearing.
This page, has it as, "gay marraige".
that's MORE, than what he was actually saying/said. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.21.34.192 (talk) 19:55, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Under PiL to present, we've got the Israel controversy and then again in a section below about boycotts. The entire passage is repeated. Cheers Thelisteninghand (talk) 21:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
