Shaun Ryder: I enjoyed lockdown - it was great!

[@elaineagar6128]

Enjoyed lockdown !!!!! Have your business ruined by lockdown lose loved ones in lockdown not because of covid. Lockdown nearly ruined my life . I'm still not over it not sure il ever get the old me back which saddens me to the core .

[@ancietman]

I have never worked from home probably a good thing because I would always find a 100 more interesting things to do at home rather than work.

[@pete3562]

I love this interview. Very very few people I can think of who are as straight up and honest, and no BS, no agenda, no grandstanding when they speak. Thoroughly decent bloke. And he kills me on Celeb Gogglebox with Bez. Priceless, the pair of them.

[@sjacrane]

This man should be in the Guinness Book of Records for being the most unpretentious man ever to exist. I don’t think anyone will ever beat him.

Good for rich people there lockdowns never good for the working class man and woman

I enjoyed lockdown too. No coworkers and watched loads of films.

[@diesel92kj1]

Lockdowns shouldn't even be allowed.

[@lozzy2587]

Never! Against human rights

[@unusedsub3003]

Why? I bloody loved lockdown. No commute, no coworkers, no boss. Just me chilling out with my dog.

I think every day is a Happy Monday for Shaun 👍😂😂🥰

Don't do drugs kids

[@lozzy2587]

All good and well for him. Lockdowns have been horrible for the rest of us 🙄 Mark needs to get back to TalkRadio along with Patrick

[@AddingtonSquare]

I think LBC or the BBC is actually the best place for him . . . I turn his show off.

I loved lockdown too. No coworkers, no customers, no boss, no commute, no pooing in a cubicle. Just me chilling out with my dog.

[@karlbishop9670]

I read an interview with him in GQ mag in 90 at the height of their short lived 'fame'. He came over as a right smug c#nt that flashed the money as if it would never end and thought he was the most talented artist out there.

[@playinggames7478]

Same with them Gallaghers too, they told everybody they were the best band in the world - bunch of tossers!

[@fastyaveit]

@@playinggames7478 Oasis are pretty good though, doesn't matter if you like them or not, Joe Public does, so it is personal taste

The Happy Mondays and Black Grape were fab !

[@playinggames7478]

@@fastyaveit Noel has songwriting talent. He isn't a decent musician though - he would tell you himself that he is only a strummer, and what you mean by 'Joe Public' is the lowest common denominator, that means nothing to proper musicians.

Lol he looks absolutely knackered now

[@sarahjohnstonedigitalrebelpunk]

This is news? Wtf

[@CraigB13]

The first lockdown was ace when we were getting paid to sit at home drinking cider and play on the PlayStation. I had some awesome house parties. Things got sh1t when they wanted us back at work but we couldn’t do the fun stuff like go the pub or go on holiday. That was when I started going to protests instead.

[@therange4033]

I too enjoyed Lockdown! I find humans to be usually insufferable who want to just take and never give. The people who tried to top themselves, etc, will always find an excuse to do so. Perhaps this sounds terrible. I suffer from depression but have learnt that if I cannot help myself, nobody else will. I have a little dog and I need nothing more!

[@matthewk9131]

Do yourself a favour and never step outside again

[@C90C60C30]

Give him a break. None of you lot had high selling albums in 1990. If you don’t like the interview, don’t watch it.

[@doriannewton8440]

It made no difference where we live. It's dead anyway. Nobody gave a shit in the least. Tbh, If I looked like Gollum I'd want a lock down too.

@@gbeebiesnews2066 if everyone else wants to isolate or wear a mask or get the vaccine then I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the government trying to force me to do things to avoid catching a virus that poses little to no threat to me.
