Why the BBC and Other British Companies Should Have Been Abolished a Long Time Ago

[bobevenson]

Looking back at the Sex Pistols, when “God Save the Queen” was released, the BBC refused to play the song even though it skyrocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard charts. With lyrics like “God save the Queen / She ain’t no human being / She made you a moron,” Billboard even blanked out the name of the song and the band on the charts for that week, making the top spot for that week technically blank as if there were no No. 1 song. In addition to the censorship from the BBC, other radio stations also refused to play the song and many major chains refused to sell the record. The Guardian has called it “the most heavily censored record in British history.”

They must be too busy sucking America's balls these days to worry about such things. I am sure that Julian Assange and Bradley Manning would agree that the US is the land of freedom and liberty. Frankly, I wouldn't go near your hell-hole if you paid me. Anyone can end up on death row, or rotting in prison for life for stealing a jersey.

You are just a schizophrenic European.

This is from a moron whose country banned the fucking Beatles; burned their records and made death threats.
From the land that gave you Dylann Roof, Charlie Manson and David Koreshi.
From the land with the most assassinated high office in the "civilised" world.
From the land that banned Harry Potter.

I think we can leave that up to the court of public opinion which of us seems the more or less insane.

OK, but I insist on a jury of my peers, not this forum of fools.

OK, but I insist on a jury of my peers,

You have no peers, Bob. You occupy a category of humanity with only a single representative.

There you go again, trying to make a prophet feel lonely.

Get it right Bob, false prophet according to your name.

Suck it up, mate. Prophecy is a lonely and thankless career choice because you'll always be dealing with folk who leap to the unwarranted assumption that you're just another cockhead. You should show some tolerance in such cases, Bob, because the peasantry cannot be held responsible for their own ignorance. As long as you keep plugging away with your prophecies they'll eventually come to realise that you're not just another cockhead but in fact you're an entirely new kind of cockhead which occupies a class of its own.

You were going quite good there until the end, so I forgive your extended typo due to apparent exhaustion.

You don't have any 'peers' - no one is as nutty as you , you are unique.
