BBC cancels Roisin Murphy

They didn't see Saville at all.

They all knew. It all came out after his death.

I stopped a long time ago.

It is always darkest just before the dawn.

Andrew Neil is good!

He promised to spend the summer reading. It looks as if we may be seeing the results.

I shouldn't lol but oh you are funny 😁

Oh dear god could you weep. A fantastic, creative woman forced to kneel in front of an ideology that harms children.

When will they see it? They will, eventually. Like they saw Savile eventually. The damage will be done, they can't just row back from this disgusting witch hunt.

Have name changed for this.

I'm a 6 music listener and have been for a number of years. I love it. It's a great station. But I'm seriously pissed off about this.

I'm on several of the 6 music Facebook groups too and someone has posted about this today. There's all the usual tropes about countless children with early onset puberty using PBs, so what's the difference, trans people most marginalised, stopping suicides etc etc. Any contrasting narrative re de-transitioners or the longer lasting impacts of PBs etc is handily, mostly ignored or passed off as hysteria. Lots of beards also talking about TERFs and where they've 'suddenly' appeared from...

What they don't get is that every time any debate around this issue comes up on the page, and it does from time to time, I don't comment because I know there will be a pile on, we'll be told to go educate ourselves etc etc. And I'd imagine, although clearly can't say with any certainty, that there will be others like me.

One positive thing I have noticed though, is that RM has been doing lots of appearances and gigs in the last week or so, and from the comments on the posts about them, seems to still be v popular and well received, by people of all ages. Not just the right wing, ultra conservative, supremely religious zealots that all GC people supposedly are... 🙄🙄😵‍💫

Fuck fuck fuck. I love (loved) 6 music. What fuckers!!!!

Despicable behaviour by the BBC

meanwhile Hit Parade is at No. 2 in the official album charts
go Róisín!!!!!

Yes like Roman Catholicism in the High Middle Ages. You casually wonder whether all the thousands of 'pieces of the True Cross' on sale are really the genuine article. Then the next thing you know you're chained up in a dungeon having your toe nails pulled out while a priest shouts the Nicene Creed at you

Article featuring fairly extensive quotes from Tatchell and his Foundation. From 16th of August. Two weeks ago?

Theer is no middle way with trans ideology. You have to be a true believer. Questioning one thing inevitably leads to questioning others - and cannot be permitted.

Complaint made, thanks for the link.

Let’s see if any of the craven fuckers at the BBC have the guts to play her stuff anyway.

(Spoiler - they won’t).

Neil on the case

Kind of glad it’s Roisin Murphy because I started listening on Spotify just to give her hits and the music is really good.

I hope she gets a ton of new fans out of this.

I hear a Coo coo…

I’m ready for it to be subscription

The captured power they wield is too high

One more nail in the coffin of a once great broadcaster.
One more addition to the reasons why The Beeb should become a subscription service. Let people choose what shit they wish to pay for

You can FOI them here about their decision.

Watch out for any laws criminalising misgendering within remit of hate speech

We’re all up for it on here if so

We won’t get to post as we do

I really, really hope the Mail are mistaken.

Because, if they're correct, then it means this has gone much further than I imagined (and I hang out on here a lot so I'm not new to it).

For the first time I think, I'm feeling more scared than angry right now.

I stopped listening to 6 music when every song was bracketed by some waffle about LGBTQIA hands knees boompsadaisy nuttery. I had listened to 6 music since it started, after the demise of GLR and the shift of the DJs from one to the other. I was even on Phil Jupitus' breakfast show back in the day.

I hope this brings the 6 presenters to their collective senses.

People mention Big Pharma and are told they are 'conspiracy theorists' and yet...

The Mail article seems to rely on the word of a couple of anonymous members of staff and the fact that the programming had been altered.

Which does not mean that it is wrong. It sounds credible to me. If I worked there I would be furious and would be phoning the Mail.

It is worth noting that the article appeared later evening and was pretty much top of the Mail's news feed, which I assume was because if was gathering plenty of clicks. Comments then stopped. And now the same article has gone from the main News feed and is only appearing in their specialist film and TV section. I wonder if, when the main shift arrived, they decided to exercise some caution. Perhaps they are waiting for a response from the BBC. Who in turn may be banging some heads together in R6.

If it is really true, and again I think it probably is, it is really shocking. Pure misogyny and bullying.

This ! Lauren Laverne still follows RM on Twitter ( hope that continues , as maybe seen as 'all thoughts her own ' type thing)

Does anyone know of an email address to complain to?
