    Media Blackout?

    Difficult to argue with censorship in this instance.




    The BBC has refused to play a song about the republican ***ger strikers after a group of Celtic supporters succeeded in getting it into the UK music charts.

    Fans Against Criminalisation caused widespread anger when they organised the promotion of the song a?? Roll of Honour a?? in response to government attempts to eradicate sectarianism from Scottish football.

    Recorded by the Irish Brigade, the ballad entered the chart yesterday at number 33 after they gave permission for its use by the Celtic supportersa?? amalgamation.

    Rather than playing the track in full, only the first line of the song a?? a??Read the roll of honour for Irelanda??s bravest mena?? a?? was heard before chart show presenter Jameela Jamil said: a??At number 33 today, the Irish Brigadea??s Roll of Honour has entered the chart. The Irish protest song has climbed into the Top 40 after a campaign by Celtic fans who are opposed to the Scottish governmenta??s Off

    Surely sectarianism and the glorifying of Irish terrorists on either side of the divide was being clamped down on vigorously...this media blackout doesn't make sense to me.
