...nihilistic lyrics? Remember how both the Libertines’ albums—first “Up the Bracket” and then their eponymous “The Libertines”—offered Americans a raw, exciting view into a drug-addled cockney underground where Sid Vicious still swaggered?

He intimidated opposition and stacked parliament and the courts with his supporters, doubled the police force, formed academies to militarize youth, and encouraged renegade gangs to enforce his policies...
