Agreed. He has strong opinions and states them bluntly then the media twist if further to increase the hype and sell more issues. Regarding National Front Disco and Bengali in Platforms, a lot of his other songs also use irony to emphasise a point (Barbarism Begins at Home? It's plainly not
encouraging people to beat their kids, coming from a pacifist who won't eat meat). He's also not afraid of ignoring political correctness, using hyperbole and has a certain degree of arrogance which means he's the sort of person people love to hate.
