BBC cancels Roisin Murphy

I'm livid about this.

Have they banned Alice Cooper? Have they taken The Office off iPlayer, or any Graham Linehan related shows eg Motherland and The Fast Show?

Always, always a witch hunt.

The BBC are meant to represent the public, who have made Hit Parade a hit.

I've a feeling Radio 6 is populated by wokebros and I will be turning off.

Tangential to this, but just reading on the BBC Culture page (I was looking for something on Roisin, but for some accountable reason, there was no mention of her) about some random complaint to Ofcom about sub-titles on Casualty:

An episode of TV drama Casualty has breached broadcasting rules after swear words appeared in subtitles before the watershed, Ofcom has ruled.
The watchdog received a complaint about offensive language in the subtitles of a repeated episode of the hospital drama shown by the Drama channel.
A word that viewers consider among the most offensive was shown twice at 10.30am on 12 June.
UKTV, which owns the licence for Drama, apologised over the incident.
The company explained that subtitling of the show is outsourced to Red Bee Media and the subtitler, who had not followed protocols, had been "disciplined and withdrawn from subtitling duties until they have been through a thorough retraining process with their line manager".
It added that it was the "first issue of this nature UKTV has experienced".
It also said that both UKTV and Red Bee had taken action and put extra processes and training in place to stop it from happening again.
Ofcom said that while it took this information into account, there were no mitigating factors such as an on-air apology.

(my bolding)

I dunno, but it seems to me that's just something about the tone there...

Some proper tars here, audiencely-speaking.

Me too - from the store that hosted her live performance last week. I was sure it would be cancelled actually so kudos to them. I wonder if they were under pressure to cancel?

Looks like myself and Steerpike are in agreement.. If Roisin isn't cancelled by the BBC, can they tell us when she'll be on tv & radio ?

And can they explain why nary a peep of this story has been on the BBC News/Culture website ?

That latter question might be trickier for them to answer.. I mean, all the newspapers have been following developments..?

A past episode with RM on 6 music was "in their own words."

There aren't actually many artists available to hear again for that programme at all. Amy winehouse and Marvin Gaye mostly.

So it seems to be the upcoming episode on the 26th that's been changed or pulled. Which was the "playlist" as here for a previous episode with blur.

Eg

This was the outcome of the trans charity claim

Wtaf BBC? The sooner we all cut this authoritarian broadcaster out of our lives the better.

That programme was on from midnight to 5AM - let's see if the success of this album is reflected in the BBC's output, with programmes at a more normal time of the day.

If their programming amounts to 'fingers-in-ears', that will be difficult to attribute to 'just scheduling decisions'. The ball is in their court. And we're not going away.

The only caution I'd say with this is that the donations to charity thing that was reported in a Canadian paper ended up not being true or certainly not in the end happening...

We need bbc to verify exactly why her previous shows aren't playing (is that usual? I can't play some others) and why little simz is now on instead of her on the 26th.

I'm going to cancel my licence fee too and tell them why. Spineless captured cunts.

A pertinent point made by Martin in Monmouthshire about John Peel

Thank you

( that chart success!)

Whoop!

If those shows really have been pulled owing to Roisin’s leaked views on puberty blockers (which were privately-held but perfectly reasonable), then the BBC needs to rename itself as the Big Brother Corporation. These are dystopian times and the capture of our public services - including the state broadcaster - has gone beyond the pale.

Let women PEAK.

They think the music scene is their trainset. I'm reminded that infamous cult leader Charles Manson wrote a song called 'Cease To Exist..'

It's not just the Mail that is covering this story - it's on the front page of the Telegraph app also.

But calm rational discussion is just the tool of the white supremacist. All that matters is " my truth".

This is true but they also have the law on their side

We need to change it

Stepping up the threats, rage, cancellation and intimidation is all they can do to try and contain the narrative. Because they can't win in a calm, rational discussion.

Unfortunately for them, no debate is over: bag open, cats everywhere.

I've laways loved the William Holman Hunt painting - The Scapegoat.

I've mentioned before the concept of 'stanning' in gay male culture - whereby a woman ( singer/actress) is idolised only to be villified at a later date when she disappoints in any way.

I’d say that’s an informed and rational feeling
