Lead guitarist Boff Whalley says band does not share views of Winston Peters, who recently compared co-governance to policies of Nazi Germany
British anarchist punk band Chumbawamba has demanded New Zealand deputy prime minister Winston Peters stop using its number one hit Tubthumping at his rallies and events because the band opposes the populist politician’s agenda.
Peters, a veteran politician whose party New Zealand First is part of the country’s coalition government, has used the song at his public events and cited the 1997 song’s lyrics “I get knocked down, but I get up again” in his speeches.
