The song Silent Running banned on BBC --for mentioning gun

The song has been banned by the BBC since the Gulf War due to its address of war, nationalism and religion, as well as a direct reference to weaponry in the line, "There's a gun and ammunition just inside the doorway."

...and the lyric continues "use it only in emergency."

I guess the message is that there are no emergencies where a gun would be required. I don't care enough to search but suspect that a bunch of other popular songs which feature the degradation of women, the glorification of drugs and vilification of police officers would be just fine with the BBC.

What led me to this was a comment on another site by a guy from Wales. According to him, yes, the BBC is fine with all of what you mention, and more.

...they don't want any set of values other than the State. Moral values from God are wrong because they are unassailable. When the State can determine moral values, those values can be anything that the people holding power want them to be. Abortion drugs can be offered to girls under 16, etc. etc. Marriage is wrong because it is an institution. The only institution in the minds of the power hungry is the government.

If you want to see the speed and ferocity of the attack on values, just let a candidate for office, who doesn't strongly lean left. publicly state his or her values. Any candidate. Any office. Anywhere in the country.
