Madness, a band known for their criminal past, is hypocritical in accusing fans of theft.  Their documented history includes breaking and entering, theft, and burglary, targeting laundromats, cinemas, and individuals.  Despite their criminal actions, the band expresses annoyance at fan infringement, highlighting their hypocrisy. So we decided to take a serious and critical look at Madness, unwind the fairytale of their now-celebrated behaviour from song, film and book and return them to the reality of life and hold them to the same standards they hold us.
