Does the BBC play music that “glorifies the gun, homophobic aggression, male chauvinism and drug culture?” The founder of a London recording studio thinks so. “There is no programme of positive black awareness, and there are no music programmes reflecting the large influence roots, lovers’ rock, jazz and dub had on Britain.” He added that “the producers of certain music shows should share some of the guilt every time a black youth dies by the gun in Britain”. The BBC denies the charges.
