One Direction fans not happy that Royal Blood won Best British Group at the Brits

Hell hath no fury like fans of a boy band scorned.

Royal Blood won Best British Group at the Brit Awards last night in London. They beat off competition from Alt-J, Clean Bandit, Coldplay and One Direction. The notoriously devout fans of all things One Direction were not happy campers at all. They took to Twitter to express their disbelief and outrage. This lady means no disrespect as she..eh..disrespects them:

NO DISRESPECT TO THEM OR OUT BUT WHO THE FUCK ARE ROYAL BLOOD ??? — IRISHRUBY (@biddyhoran) February 25, 2015

There was genuine puzzlement too:

@royalblooduk who are you — ZAYN FOLLOW PLEASE (@elizabethmalikk) February 25, 2015

Eh......  

How can you even compare One Direction to Royal Blood? Royal Blood are a band not a group. Who decides #thebrits winners anyway? — TheVersion.co.uk (@theversion) February 25, 2015

Someone smells a  rat:

Misguided yes, but this made us smile:

ROYAL BLOOD IS THE TYPE OF BLOOD ONE DIRECTION HAVE EVERYTIME THEY BLEED SO WHO'S THE REAL WINNER HERE — liv ❥ 155 (@laffytaffylouis) February 25, 2015

There simply is no accounting for taste.
