BBC cancels Roisin Murphy

@deydododatdodontdeydo

What would you think of the idea of looking to see if the BBC schedule some programming, play some songs, etc ?

After all, it's one thing to say you've played someone's music recently and another to have decided to not play any more.

There's a reason that George Orwell wrote 1984 after he worked at the BBC.

It wasn't supposed to be a bloody guidebook!

I wonder if a carefully worded foi would wrinkle out the decision making process leading to RM being pulled
Auntie Beeb is more like Aunt Lydia

Songs are never included in podcasts. It's a digital rights thing.

And we should all buy her album!

Can you write to them and tell them this? Because otherwise they’ll think that people are OK with this sort of censorship.

Not in s good way I add

But an Orwellian / Atwood nightmare where people grovel but get disappeared

It sure will

It's all a bit W1A

Roisin has those, lots and lots.. But do they ?

@TheGoddessFrigg

They need listeners, though.. And credibility..

It's so bloody obvious as well. 6music have always played and promoted Roisin Murphy A LOT- as they should because she is a hugely talented and stylish performer.
And now she has a new - very successful album out- there is complete silence. In fact she is not mentioned at all, by any of the presenters. It's practically Stalinist in its effectiveness. Not even disagreeing with her- she has just become a complete non person.
But it's very effective isn't it? Will certainly give anybody else thinking of stepping out of line pause for thought

Well, this is fucking depressing, isn't it? Hey ho, time for the school run and another loud play of Hit Parade with the bass turned down from Defcon 7.

They will promote males, no matter what the male does. Rapes his own daughters? No probs, mate.

But women must stay in line. They are to know their place. Be decorative, entertaining, and/or useful.

Any woman who deviates must be made an example of. Make her repent. Tear her apart. Unperson her.

All of this.

They'll play tracks by male paedophiles and abusers but a woman saying vulnerable children shouldn't be experimented on is beyond the pale?

FUCK YOU BBC.

I'm sick of being told that MY OWN SAFETY AND EXPERIENCES ARE SECONDARY TO A FUCKING MAN

Hear, hear.

So when are we going to march in the street about this shit?

If everyone who comments on these newspaper articles about how terrible this is came out to join us then it would be a sizeable crowd.

I have bought Roisin's album this morning and it's bundled with some promo socks. Looking forward to them.

I'm not listening to 6music at the moment. It's appalling behaviour.

I am peaking and peaking and just where will it fucking end? Will we ever get our spaces back?

I'm sick of being told that MY OWN SAFETY AND EXPERIENCES ARE SECONDARY TO A FUCKING MAN AND HIS FUCKING LADYFEELS AND WOMANFACE.

PISS OFF DYLAN. PISS OFF ALL OF THEM.

The BBC are over powered and captured

Vernon Kay played Michael Jackson on his radio 2 show recently

By staff meeting, you mean overpromoted bullies? Let me guess, anyone taking Róisín's side, ie the side of artistic freedom and rationality, was either shouted down, or GCs would have felt unable to speak freely.

You've got BBC newsnight querying PBs, Hannah Barnes writing a book that's long listed for huge prizes, the nhs stopping all prescriptions unless within a study and now the bbc main news demonstrating that children don't always know what's going on and they pull this stunt on a woman who's agreeing with the all of them and the NHS?!

Amazing, really. As a female artist, criticise the abusive Catholic Church in the 90s, and the roof caves in on your world.
As a female artist, criticise the abusive medicalisation of totally healthy teens in the 2020s, and the roof caves in on your world.
What goes around, comes around.

No way can the BBC hold this line. Expect the corporate apology soon and "as purveyors of the truth in a fake news world, we are blameless here, but should realise how our actions could look" blah blah.

Róisín must look at all this and wonder just how little her so-called colleagues and peers in her chosen profession and vocation think of her. If she wasn't aware of this poison, she is now.

Let's flip woke back on itself.
"I saw prejudice and discrimination and aWOKE from it. I'm WOKEn up to the iniquities of the world".

Maybe she's woke now, she'll have aWOKEn to just how the industry was prepared to not just run her over, but reverse back over her body.

Fuck!

Apparently it's all over twitter that there was a staff meeting in Monday where the decision was made to pull her. BBC staying silent, the fucking arseholes.
