BBC cancels Roisin Murphy

But the BBC has us in a chokehold - we have to pay it if we watch any tv via Sky, Virgin etc. It's absolutely despicable, bastards.

They make it very difficult to find the correct people to complain to. They only hear what they want to hear and any dissent is lost in the abyss.
The employees all feed in the same pond...have group think, and are never wrong. We, the sensible public, are the outliers.
The BBC is self righteous in its fervour.
And this is from an ex employee who despairs at what the once cherished organisation has become!

”So cancelling must get harsher.”

It is currently at levels I would never have predicted.

The over reaction is particularly brutal considering that Bragg has got away with his ridiculousness about how a woman bravely smiling while being harassed and abused is not a ‘harassed’ woman. And don’t they still platform Tatchell?

The current era is going to be seen as just as hypocritical as the last eras.

Not trying to have a go at you but has the BBC ever really spoken truth to power? It didn't speak much truth when it knowingly harboured a vicious sex offender in its ranks for decades.

I think the BBC has always been the organ of the Establishment. That is its purpose. But I do accept that its standards of reporting, researching and questioning used to be far higher than they are now.

Well there's the conundrum! I'm still puzzling it out. As a socialist it's difficult since so many other papers are so very tory. And I just can't give my money to the likes of Murdoch et al.

Thanks, that's helpful.

I think the BBC need to make a clear statement on this.

Awful behaviour from the BBC. Just bought her album in support

Its not what she said.

It's that she spoke on a topic when she isn't a Good Person (the fact she's not a man also counts against her) and without paying obeisance to the script.

There will be panic at the moment because people are popping up all over the place making reasonable, normal statements that its very hard to argue with.

So cancelling must get harsher.

Have cancelled my Direct Debit and account - a woman is cancelled for expressing concern for medicalised children but men are allowed to continue with their creepy shit.

The BBC won't take note.

We live under extreme patriarchy - everything is about what men want.

There’s a good article in the Spectator

Why not state that if it’s the case? They know we are watching for this type of nonsense

But she is actually right... the non reversible side effects of puberty blockers are horrendous. The decision to take them in adolescence is proven to almost certainly result in later taking cross sex hormones. Life long dependency on medication is great news for big pharma.

She is being scapegoated. Strung up as an example.

I have ! Only stream now.
BBC is so desperate they have given me 6 months free before they remind me of the cancellation again.

Radio 4's Feedback programme covers topics to do with all the BBC's radio channels. In recent series, they've spent quite a bit of time on the proposed cuts to local radio. They would be the obvious place to cover this, but they're off air at the moment, back in October. Worth sending in comments now, though, as they must be gearing up for the new series.

I'm not up to speed on this issue, so hazy about who Roisin Murphy is or what she does or has said. If there could possibly be a statistics-related spin on it, another possibility is to contact More or Less, which is currently on Radio 4 in the same slot as Feedback gets (they take turns). Their remit is to take listener queries and factcheck them.

Will be interesting to see if the BBC covers this as a news story. That would probably flush out the 6 Music Controller or similar.

I'm so angry about this. I can't believe that all my favourite presenters on 6 are happy with this.

Me too. We keep hearing people blethering on about the right wing but the right isn't that fundamentally different to what it was.
The left on the other hand is unrecognisable. I've considered myself left wing all my life and still do, but is failing hard: leftwing parties, leftwing media. Its as if the integrity has been completely stripped away. Its been hard to see.

So - I did some tests of other greats on the same shows such as Debbie Harry and Blur. You can't actually listen to previous episodes of theirs either so it could be to do with music licensing on listen again regarding those recordings, and potentially also on WH.

Need to find another singer who's been on wh recently

So the controversial influencer Andrew Tate, recently charged in Romania with offences including rape and human trafficking, is covered by the BBC via interview and group debate.

There was a recurring theme of people on both sides of the argument feeling like they can't talk honestly about it, or thinking the discussion always gets toxic.
When it comes to the beliefs Andrew Tate says he has and how they divide opinion, that's inevitable - but listening to our audience is key. It's their world we are reflecting and informing.

But Roisin, expressing the logical and responsible view of not medicalising children, is just wiped completely by the BBC?

Would love to hear someone senior trying to justify this editorial stance.

6music also has a WhatsApp number and text number direct to shows in case anyone wants to make any requests

Would it be feedback? Or is that just radio 4?

I love R6 and bar stuff like Wimbledon the only reason I pay the fee

This is stretching that hugely

The BBC is entirely captured

Can anyone signpost to an email to complain to BBC?

The BBC is being destroyed. I now only watch Gardners World and never listen to Radio 4. The Guardian is an evil publication so I was not surprised at their response, but the BBC?

I don't normally follow transgender issues on here, but this has shocked me.
The BBC are supposed to be neutral. Arguing against medication which stops puperty in kids is obviously needed on so many levels and noone should be afraid in doing so.
