When Corbyn was elected leader he said he was going to bring a KINDER STYLE OF POLITICS

Since then we have women MP's threatened with rape

A drive to de select decent labour MP's

Women MP's threatened with murder

And deny as much as they wish - bullying by Corbynites on this forum

Suppose it is difficult for a man who supported the killers of British citizens to understand the definition of kindness

The song is infantile and only anyone who hates the Conservatives will think it's great.If it had been about Farron or Corbyn they would think it was silly.Which it is.....whichever party you vote for.It's strictly for teenagers or members of Momentum etc.( so why are women our age on this forum saying 'it's great'?
Well, because they hate the Conservatives.There's a lot of hate about these days!

That's the reply you always get from the BBC but it is untrue. There is a general bias to the right and in particular in favour of the BBC's all-time favourite politician, Nigel Farage.

I havn't heard the song, but as regards impartiality, I think the BBC must be impartial because both left and right think it is biased towards the other side.

Only heard it once and think it's horrible. I would think the same if it had been written about ANY of the political parties /leaders, however much I might disagree with them politically. For me its the lowest common denominator, and politics of the gutter.

Great song ?

A song describing Prime Minister Theresa May as a "liar" and calling the country "broken" has become the most downloaded on iTunes.

However, siting bias, the BBC will not play Captain Ska's anti-Tory song Liar Liar. It is set to be the highest new entry on the UK Official Singles Chart this week, but impartiality rules are being sited to stop it being given air time.

I cannot believe it is anything but the normal partiality of the BBC towards the Conservative Party stopping the thoughts of the young being heard.

It's catchy too.
