My local radio station has stopped playing Rita Ora's music because she broke lockdown rules. While I don't condemn the fact she broke the rule, I feel so angry that the radio station have singled her out but are quite happy to continue to play music from Chris Brown, Michael Jackson,

If the radio station is playing the music of Michael Jackson, R Kelly and their ilk, but have banned a woman for breaking covid rules, then I can't see it as anything other than misogyny.

Michael Jackson was asexual. People can’t cope with that so they have to condemn him.

The evidence is looking more and more likely that he was in actual fact a paeodophile.

Metro putting this story on their entire front page, sigh.

'one rule for the rich and famous' apparently. I must inform my sister, who's neighbours have been partying in their garden 'smoking shack' in their ex council street, wafting clouds of weed smoke everywhere.

@Joeblack066

What did Michael Jackson do? If you mean the abuse allegations, a small amount of research shows that these were all spurious, and likely as not contributed to his death. Macauley Culkin explained the ‘sleeping in his bedroom’ thing years ago- his bedroom was actually an apartment with many floors. The main accuser has attempted to squeeze money out of many other celebrities. Michael Jackson was asexual. People can’t cope with that so they have to condemn him. Oh and OP, I think you meant ‘condone’ not ‘condemn’ in your post. At least I hope you did. Have a good day.
Wow, you've really drunk the kool aid haven't you. He wasn't asexual, he was a paedophile. It's a crying shame that he isn't still alive to prosecute.

Laughable. I'm embarrassed for them.

joeblack66 it’s pretty clear MJ had some incredibly strange and inappropriate relationships with young boys, whether they were sexual or not. He was clearly a very ill man but if I was only playing music by people whose morals I approved of MJ would not be being played.

Oh, for crying out loud. I hope the channel's listeners cancel them

This is all about punishing uppity women, isn't it

Really everyone should just stop playing their radio station. Zero listeners. Cancel them back.

IJustWantSomeBees · 01/12/2020 11:38

It's ridiculous. Any excuse to discipline women though, right?

My guess is that MKFM are just after free publicity

sashagabadon · 01/12/2020 11:33

So ridiculous!

Ahh the public punishment and burning of the witch.
