https://www.theguardian.com/music/20...-pm-is-bad-man [Stormzy has defended himself after Piers Morgan took issue with him criticising Boris Johnson to a group of children. The UK grime star was talking to young pupils at his old primary school in Thornton Heath, south London, when he was asked why he was not a fan of the prime minister. He replied that Johnson was “a very, very bad man”.] [Good Morning Britain presenter Morgan was quick to comment, tweeting: “He shouldn’t have done this, and shouldn’t have been allowed to do this.” Stormzy responded: “The kid asked me a question and I replied truthfully nothing wrong with that Piers lol.”] [Morgan replied that the music star should use his power “more carefully”, saying: “Come off it Stormzy – saying stuff like that to a bunch of very young schoolkids isn’t cool, and you know it. “You’re a hugely influential role model now to so many youngsters. Wield that power more carefully.” Stormzy replied: “No, it isn’t cool, it’s the truth lol. Again, they asked me a question and I answered it truthfully and with jest.] [Before the election, Stormzy urged his fans to vote for Labour and described Johnson as a “f. prick” in an impassioned video to his 2.7 million Instagram followers. He said Corbyn was “a man of hope, a man of justice, a man of equality”.] Sign Of The Times. Last edited by arista; 19-12-2019 at 02:10 AM. |

Well I happen to think his "music" is tortuous ear rape, but there are some questions you answer with a bit more tact when talking to a group of small kids.
Maybe the school should give him the chance to sit in a few PSHE lessons. |

Jessica Meuse was robbed.

He maybe could've worded it differently, but there's nothing wrong imo with letting people teach kids their own Political views.
However the School should maybe balance it out with a Piers Morgan visit and let him state his views to the kids.

Why isn't he allowed his opinion? I thought Piers was a fan of opinion expression. Also I really like Stormzy

...he was asked a question and gave a truthful answer...?...the child knew that he wasn’t a fan of Boris and asked him why...he left it vague, by just saying he ‘was a bad man’...it was a good response ....
...whenever there is any celebrity thing that might be a little controversial or whatever...Piers is always there, making it all about him... |

Free expression "but" is a contradiction, seems like Piers wants free expression as long as he agrees with it

...he also responded in a very tongue in cheek way...?...but he responded with honesty and honesty is the most important thing, which Stormzy is aware of...the alternative that Piers seems to be advocating, would be to lie...

I love Stromzy but I don't think telling youngsters that someone who is now running the country is 'bad' is helpful, hopefully none of them have nightmares He could have said, I don't think he will do a good job or something along those lines, in young kids eyes bad = evil

...children, even in Primary school are very much aware of the political world around them..(..in more vague terms obviously...)..they’re encouraged in critical thinking and what ideals they themselves think of as ‘good’ and ‘bad’...they don’t think of it in terms of ‘evil’...(..in my own personal experience, of course..)...children will tell me their views daily...there are ways in which he could have said it so as to be truthful and he chose a tongue in cheek way, which I personally think was perfectly fine...

Kids go home and ask their parents their views on the world and will be told bluntly. There's nothing wrong with Stormzy doing the same. He has absolutely no duty of care to those children. |

Forcing his opinion would be him ranting and raving about how much he hates Boris Johnson without any need. He was asked a question and then answered it. He could've been more blunt if he wanted to. I thought his answer was quite tame. |

Would Piers have taken issue if Stormzy's response was highly complimentary? No. He'd argue freedom of speech.
Hypocrite. |

All this "his music is sh*te" irrelevant sour grapes would probably be seen as childish even by that primary school class.
"He insulted me fave Prime Minister " |

I mean as if those kids haven't heard all sorts about Boris and Jeremy Corbyn anyway over the last few months between the election and Brexit in general, I'm sure "he's a bad man" is pretty light in comparison

Yeah, are the election campaigns themselves shy about voicing their doomsday predictions about one another?
Do they think of the children? Especially children that aren't born of the wealthy? Do me a favour. |
