Not surprised at all. This was going to happen. No respect.

The behavior of the BBC 'chief' rather demonstrates that the nazis won the war after all.
This is what happens in any country that fails to perform the requisite blood purges after something like WWII

Correct. We need to Galt 'em.
As long as we keep allowing, nay supporting, these societal leeches we are doomed to eventual failure. Nature (G-d) understood this; the culling of the herd is an integral part of survival.

And when a leftist rejoices over the death of a normal person it’s OK?
Bastards.

It is currently number four and on course for a place in the top five...British math?

BBC cant win on this one. It would be broadcast on a regular weekly show when all that weeks top 10 sales are played. Omit it, and its censorship. Play it, and theres outrage. Screwed either way. Thats the sort of dilemma Tony Hall (a very good man, by the way) is paid his 450k to sort. Perhaps the DJ could accidentally play another track from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ instead?
To: Biggirl
Well why should he ban it, either we believe in free speech or we don’t. People have the right to demonize their leaders. This is not China.

Governments don’t have free speech.

This is not China. Thanks for reminding everyone. The anti-Thatcher scum do have their free speech rights, just as we have a right to identify them as scum.

“Governments dont have free speech.” what planet are you on? What dimension does it seem like to you? What color is the sky where you are?

It's axiomatic ~ if you have an entity exercising the power of the state, whatever it says is NOT an exercise in free speech.
End of story.

The “entity” is playing songs from a top 5 list. If by some chance the number one song were “God Save the Queen” and some people demanded that be banned, and said entity obliged them, others would scream censorship. You apparently don't see the hypocrisy of your viewpoint.
To: trubolotta
you don’t have the slightest idea what the BBC is about ~ it is a public censor.

I don’t have to know what the “BBC is about” to recognize a call for censorship when I see it. If they are doing it, then it should be condemned regardless of which side they take.
To: trubolotta
First off, the gub’mnt shouldn’t be in the BBC business. Relative degrees of censorship are still censorship and not free speech.

I completely agree with you about government being in the broadcast business. We have our NPR/PBS here which I adamantly oppose receiving any government funding whatsoever. They can express whatever views they want as long as I do not have to pay for their soap box.
But that isn't the issue and is purely tangential.

There go those ‘tanned genitals’ again ~ they just keep popping up in all sorts of conversations!
