Anti WART? Blimey, no wonder they didn't show it at the time!!!
Joking aside, I find the BBC ban on this song appalling. Absolutely appalling. Afraid to upset the government? A pox be upon them!!!! Is this to mean that all satire is to be banned?
Seriously disgruntled by this!!!!
I'm composing a longer response to this right now Psi mate which taps into the entire 'inequality agenda' that really is the voice of American, British and European politics right now. Will post it later tonight / tomorrow.
Like you, I'm really pissed off right now pal.
The BBC better get back in line, or face the wrath of an old, old enemy! Pointless censorship is sickening for the most part, but censoring an artform because it mimics too closely a reality the government don't want to admit to is despicable.
Who do they think they are? We pay them to do a job for us. It's not the other way around! It appears far too frequently that they misrepresent us and attempt to tell us that we are no longer allowed to make our own informed choices and selections or show preferences for a particular artform / expression or to express our solidarity on key issues such as war, the NHS or the Welfare State.
Elitist Bastards & Scum..!
