The band’s singer and bassist described proceedings in the Commons chamber during Prime Minister's Questions as ‘controlled chaos’.
KISS STAR GENE Simmons said he witnessed “controlled chaos” during his “insane” visit to the UK’s Houses of Parliament as a guest of the DUP’s Ian Paisley Jr.
He also witnessed Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner challenge Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden over the Government’s handling of the Covid inquiry, with the pair standing in while British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak visits the US. “In America, it’s like the middle finger is a salute. I think Americans can take a big lesson in civility in how to make democracy actually work and still respect the other side.
On plans for the rest of the day, Paisley joked: “He’s doing a private concert as a DUP fundraiser – that’s a lie!” “It’s great to have him here, an honour to have guests here and it’s great when they’re passionate and interested and they can tell the world about the importance of this building and democracy and what it means for people here.”In 2014, Simmons made a surprise visit to Leinster House as a guest of then-Fine Gael TD Pat Breen.
