It's quite fitting that a protest song against Boris Johnson consists solely of a soundbite with no detail or substance. That's basically his whole career.

Very accurate :lol:

Clearly, but many don't know the history of the performer. If they do, they deserve all they get.

 

He makes his living/name off pitch black humour (look at his name for goodness sake), of course they're going to be taboo subjects that push the boundaries of what is acceptable, reactions like yours are exactly what he's hoping for.

 

I won't download this, but I cracked a smile at it. Of all the things to worry about, I was really surprised to see people actually think this is harsh on poor old Boris, wow I mean people are LITERALLY dying...

 

It's hard to really feel sympathy for a serial liar that has shown that all he cares about is his own reputation and gain, protecting his mates even though on two highly publicised occasions they clearly went too far, delaying essential rules until it's too late, can be held responsible for over 60,000 deaths, giving money to corrupt, huge corporations which had no effect, refusing free school meals to those in need and that's before we get into his law breaking re: Brexit in the last few years. He has shown so many times he cares diddly squat for the public, I'm sure he can handle some people saying how they feel...

 

Funny I don't recall this level of outrage at all for the similarly explicit comedy song about Nick Clegg ten years ago :thinking:

I don't think Boris Johnson would even know or care about this song, he's shown over the past months that he will do things on his own terms no matter how much criticism he gets for it. I just wonder who thought it would be a good idea to have him as the Prime Minister in the first place even before corona.

Mr K is more than welcome to write a song outlining his distaste at our current Prime Minister, and if people want to buy said song they are more than welcome to do so. My own opinions on the subject is that people should record songs on any topic, as long as they do not contain active calls to physical harm, or gloify Nazis or other comparative ideologies. However, said maker of songs shouldn't have the right to get ratty when anyone offers criticism of said song.

 

As to whether it should be played on Radio 1, I think the clean edit should be played, but pre-empted with a disclaimer that the song reflects the opinion of the writer of the song and does not represent the views of the BBC, which is the approach I think Radio 1 should take with songs that touch on an overtly political nature. They did this with "Illegal Attacks" by Ian Brown, although they've taken a more cautious line since then, only playing snippets at the very most.

 

And in terms of the ideological one-week chart campaigns in general, I can't say I'm a fan of them. There were some I thought were a decent idea, like "Killing In The Name" (although that wasn't per se political), but I've grown somewhat weary of them, be they the Rangers/Celtic ones, the pro-Brexit, anti-Brexit ones, and all the other ones. If people want to do that, they're more than welcome, but I don't think it's anything I could care about.

Unfortunately we do because you keep repeating it multiple times to the point of tedium, it doesn't have any relevance to the topic under discussion here IMO.

 

You don't represent the the majority of people who are helping this song to succeed.

 

You're pretty hung up on this aren't you? That's the sole contribution I've seen you make to the conversation, that the singer once made a rather unfunny song that crossed the line because it was joking about Savile and therefore he shouldn't be supported.

 

Someone whose artistic name is 'Kunt' has some skeletons in their past for being an edgy w*n**r. What a shocker, never saw that one coming.

 

If the song is as described, then it's pretty much an empty vessel for people's feelings. No one is buying it thinking that it's good music to listen to, no one is buying it with the intention of giving money to the performer. Very few probably are even aware the performer has done other songs before. He could be literally anyone.

 

But he isn't just "anyone". The people who buy the song knowing fine well what "Kunt" is about are hardly in a position to complain about Johnson.

I don't follow... because they are familiar with the career of a crude novelty singer and his misdeeds they can't complain about the PM?

With the amount of suffering and pain he's caused with his sheer incompetency, being called a four letter word that describes him perfectly is acceptable, yes.

Perhaps Ed Sheeran or Lady Gaga should cover this and then Alcohol Prone might be able to get behind it.

 

Still no opinion from him about the actual content of the song, I see.

You don't represent the the majority of people who are helping this song to succeed.

 

I haven't claimed to. For what it's worth though, I am offended by some of his songs, particularly the one that you are obsessively referencing to the point of invoking the Barbra Streisand effect, however I still am yet to see what relevance it has to the topic under discussion here ?

I think I made it clear that if they are in favour of giving money to a performer who they know is responsible for "comedy songs" about child abuse then they are hardly in a position to complain about someone who turns a blind eye to things when it satisfies their own agenda.

 

Agreeing with the sentiment of the song is totally different and I don't object to the song being released, but not by that particular artist.

It's like arguing with an Alexa.

Yeah, keep talking Mickey.

I think it’s wrong to judge people for buying the song no matter who performs it. Most won’t know the artist history. Some wouldn’t care and that doesn’t make them worse than Boris Johnson. It’s been a hard year with no let up in sight, people just want to push back.

I just don't think it has any relevance - barely anybody, apart from it seems 'Alcohol_Prone' (and BuzzJack until it was posted endlessly yesterday in the iTunes thread) appears to have been aware of the offending song in his 'repertoire'. Next time that the general public go to buy a single though it should be made certain that they have thoroughly investigated the history of the artists/producers involved, checked their entire back catalogue and opinions and thoughts on every available social media platform from the beginning of their digitial lives, to be certain it doesn't invalidate their ability to be allowed to have an opinion or view on any topic.

:lol:

Not heard it. No intention of hearing it. it's an opinion on a terrible habitual liar of a leader who was stupid enough to catch Covid shaking hands in a hospital, after acting far too late in a crisis, and now we are 80,000 deaths above what would be a normal year's deaths and a wrecked economy as we head into a Brexit he caused.

 

I don't disagree with the title, nor the freedom to express the opinion. Johnson can always give us examples on why it's unfair and inaccurate and set the record straight......

 

 

Well we definitely spread something to every corner of our country, just not sure it was 'opportunity' as Boris predicted

It's like arguing with an Alexa.

Haha this does quite remind me of this

 

 

Equally applies to trying to talk to chris tbh.

Incidentally there are two songs in the official top 40 right now produced by a convicted murderer.

Jeez...

 

I haven't said - nor actually think - that people aren't allowed to say what they want, but their opinions can be challenged, which you don't like. Tough.

 

While you try to be a wiseass, I've actually given an example of why buying a song with full knowledge of an artist is a tad hypocritical. You think it's harsh? Tough.

 

Night night.
