In 2018, then-BBC politics presenter Andrew Neil ended one of his This Week programmes by getting guests Michael Portillo and MP Caroline Flint to join him for a performance of the latest online dance craze, Skibidi.
As the bizarre scene unfolded, the show s other guest, Bobby Gillespie, remained rooted to his seat wearing an obdurate and slightly weary expression.
The Primal Scream frontman, whose band helped to merge club culture with rock n roll sensibilities in the early 90s, felt he had earlier been cut off by the host while debating the impact of Brexit, neo-liberal capitalism, and the rise of far-right politics globally, and was now in no mood for such frivolity.
