Is that No 1 according the Official Chart?
Avectoijesuismoi · 36-40
@FreddieUK Yes because they count all the downloads from Spotify etc now as well as physical CD sales for everything

@Avectoijesuismoi Check out the Official Chart and get back to me.

@FreddieUK The chart is being rigged same trick as they did to the Sex Pistols with Anarchy in the UK during the Jubilee year
Avectoijesuismoi · 36-40
@FreddieUK But regardless of that why won't the BBC play the song on their radio stations ?????
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@Avectoijesuismoi Because

1) it never has played overtly political songs as it has to remain impartial
2) it's not actually in the charts

@FreddieUK They are anything but impartial at the moment why won't they report the petition for the new general election that has over 3 million signatures ?????
Avectoijesuismoi · 36-40
@FreddieUK They also would play RELAX either ??? that is not political at all
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@Avectoijesuismoi Politics is not the only reason songs have been banned and contemporary attitudes come into play. Some songs banned in the 50s are now fine and we laugh at them ever being an issue.

@FreddieUK If they are truly impartial their should be no filtering/censorship or prevention of Freedom of Speech
Why do the old people that worked etc for their country have to pay the price when illegal migrants are being housed in 4 star hotels at the country's expense

You are entitled to believe that. I am pleased that the BBC and other broadcasters in the UK are not the sewer of misinformation that you can find in plenty of other places in the name of Freedom of Speech.

@Avectoijesuismoi What a shame. I hope you have found what you're looking for.

@Avectoijesuismoi

Really? Which hotels would they be?

@Avectoijesuismoi And you have used your freedom of speech to spread misinformation.



The video expresses a political opinion in a mildly humorous fashion. The BBC could not play this without sacrificing journalistic objectivity.
