PUNK band Cockney Rejects hinted that it may sue Channel 4 after its music was used in documentary Young Angry and White to illustrate a supposed far-right association with the musical genre.
The longstanding group is reportedly threatening legal action as it feels song Oi Oi Oi was being associated with fascist violence.
In a recent interview with Louder Than War magazine Cockney Rejects guitarist Mick Geggus said he was so angry when he found out he “nearly choked.”
“My band and I have fought narrow-minded people from both sides of the political divide for over three decades now, and we have the scars to prove it,” Mr Geggus told fellow musician and music critic Joe Whyte.
“If it’s the last thing I do, I will not let Channel 4 get away with this slanderous act.”
The Cockney Rejects have been known to physically confront members of the neonazi British Movement who show up at their concerts.
UK Subs song Warhead was also featured despite having a a Japanese guitarist and a history of rejecting fascist politics.
