I never thought I'd write this.....

have a look at my post on the Tipsheet. I published the same video on the BBC messageboards.

The BBC seem to think the video is not appropriate, as they have referred it to their moderators and will not publish it.

Excuse me for ranting but I am gobsmacked.

do you think the following video is offensive?



If the BBC ban it then I shall post it all over the place.

Crikey, you'd think that a young girl who got banned for singing "je t'aime" in 1969 would be granted a bit of leeway singing about human rights when she is 62.

I am shocked.

Remember, the BBC as had its backbone surgically removed.

The moral compass now is - Will the tabloids have a go at us?

I am beginning to think you are right JK.

please look at the video I posted as it is very poignant.

or maybe I should just give up.

Shall we ban every musician who shouts out about human rights?

what about U2?

"Lots of blood in Asia now; they've butchered off the sacred cow - they've got a lot to eat".

The BBC wouldn't play It's Good News Week today, 44 years later.

Mmmmmmm. Having had some comments censored by moderators on this site, isn't it a bit rich complaining about the Beeb?

I suspect the BBC has banned it (or decided not to show it) because it has images of children being kicked and punched by adults. Of course, this is merely to illustrate the point the song is making, but the BBC and most UK media tip-toe around such images in case they are criticised by certain tabloid pressure groups and, in turn, paranoid politicians.

Has the song itself been banned, or just the video?

On the plus side, songs which are banned by the BBC often end up being a success.

No Comment on the censorship suggestion anyone? Moderators?

Not worth commenting on Barn; as all posters know it rarely if ever happens; only malice, libel, nastiness gets filtered out.

Plus there was the time when some comments got eaten by the system, which wasn't the fault of any moderators.

the moderators haven't replied. thanks, guys.

meanwhile the clip has now taken wings and is now being posted in lots of places.
