It's been 10 years since Chumbawamba's Danbert Nobacon threw an ice bucket of water over John Prescott at the 1998 Brit Awards. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, and they would probably be given a lap of honour now, but at the time Chumbawamba were the leftie gatecrashers ruining New Labour's post-electoral love-in with Britpop. Their label, EMI, issued an immediate apology, and Nobacon was collared by the cops, but the band remained unrepentant. "If John Prescott has the nerve to turn up at events like the Brit Awards in a vain attempt to make Labour seem cool and trendy, then he deserves all we can throw at him" read the band's statement of the following morning.
