A song accusing Theresa May of being a “liar” has reached tenth place in the download charts but radio stations have refused to play it.

The Big Top 40 show on Capital FM and Heart opted not to play the song, which is performed and produced by Captain Ska.

During the chart show, hosted by Marvin Humes and Kat Shoob, it was announced the song was in the tenth spot before the song in ninth position started to play.

The banger is currently number 2 on iTunes

The Ariana Grande song made number 2 in the same chart show as this that got number 10 :shrug:

Excellent! posted this on here a couple of days ago, but had no idea it was so far reaching :D It is really catchy too .

[T*]

Cringe.

[Kizzy]

What you cringing at T dog?...

You better be careful.. this one time someone I knew cringed themselves inside out :/

Think he's cringing at the radios stations unprofessionalism?

[Denver]

If this was about Corybn you would all be wanting blood of the buyers tbh

[Brillopad]

Whoops, seems Iv'e come on to an infant school website in error!

[Withano]

Who would make a somg about Corbyn being a liar though. Silly comparison.

Careful guys, its about to turn into an anti-muslim thread

Good thing he doesn't have a rich history of being a Liar then..

[Lostie!]

but the profits are going to charity :conf:

:laugh2:

Not to the Manchester families though

So all other charitable endeavors that aren't related to the Manchester tragedy are now undeserving of support all of a sudden? :unsure:

Also I'm pretty sure people could very easily buy both. It's not that difficult.

[Brillopad]

Hmmm - plenty I would imagine if they could be bothered.

That doesnt answer the question. Question was who, not why.
Besides nobody would buy it even of they did.

[Shaun]

saw this on iTunes and didn't even twig it was a political thing, assumed it was something from Britain's Got Talent

[T*]

I'm cringing at the existence of the song
No matter what side you're on, it's cringey as ****

[Wizard.]

I'm not going to say "well why isn't there one about Corbyn" for the simple reason that Theresa is PM and this song is obviously against her and people have the freedoms to do whatever they want however it shouldn't just be again ONE politician when I bet you if Corbyn was in power we would have just as many problems that I could easily write a song about so maybe there should be a song about all politicians from all sides of the spectrum about how they are ALL liars.

Once again he hasn't met the IRA. I said the other day that the tories are just throwing **** and hoping some sticks... Some politicians have met with the IRA mostly conservative strangely, but that's not being accepted for some reason... Would you like the links to the times and dates of those meeting again?

Some bloody idiots will download any old thing and they moan they have no money,the irony,lol

Labour supports could never be called idiots, nor morons, nor *******, nor scum.

[Kizzy]

Who moans they have no money?...

You're playing with words - Sinn Fein/IRA same thing. They became more 'acceptable' as the political wing of the IRA for the sake of peace - doesn't change what they did.

[Wizard.]

Who moans they have no money?...

The poor people who support Jezza. If they didn't smoke, buy this song or do drugs they wouldn't be so poor!

[Wizard.]

I'm obviously joking before I get banned!

[Withano]

Which idiots are moaning about no money after buying this song Kaz?

[Denver]

80% of Corbyn fans are the JK viewers?

[Kazanne]

No one has called them anything have they?

[Kizzy]

Nope, Sinn Fein ARE a political party, he DID negotiate for the sake of peace.
No word on the conservative meetings?...

[Kizzy]

Do only poor people support Labour?... :/

[Livia]

It has been proven that he met with terrorists when he stated categorically that he did not. Lying isn't just the preserve of the Tories, it seems.

Denial.

As usual.

[Livia]

Do only poor people support Labour?... :/

No, there are quite a lot of champagne socialists too.

[Beso]

Who would make a somg about Corbyn being a liar though. Silly comparison.

i think it peaked at number 576

funny that everyone else involved in the process can't remember jezza ever negotiating for peace..in fact it seems that the opposite is more closer to the truth.

[lewis111]

It's reached number 1

[Kazanne]

It's reached number 1

Corbyn could never:laugh:

[LukeB]

We all know politicians like telling lies
Big ones, little ones, porky pies
Saying they're strong, and stable, won't disguise
We're still being taken for a ride
Nurses going hungry, schools in decline
I don't recognize this broken country of mine
They're having a laugh, let's show them the door then
Cut the rich, not the poor

Luke slaying with that song :D

Ah. I was actually excited to listen to that. But the song was made in 1978 and has nothing to do with Corbyn despite the cute slideshow making it seem otherwise.

[Withano]

:clap1: people love truthful songs.

[LukeB]

#9 on midweeks but yes it's #1 on itunes so it may go up

It was re released as a xmas song for corbyn.

[Denver]

People who brought that are sad if they think it is more deserving that a song where the profits will go to the We Love Manchester fund

[Denver]

Then again probably the JK audience brought it

[Black Dagger]

People can spend money how they want, Adam. How do you know the same who bought this haven't contributed to Manchester.

[LukeB]

The song profits also go to charity :hee: they can easily buy both and One last time is higher in the charts as well. Every single charity including We Love Manchester are DESERVING not just one.

Then again probably the JK audience brought it

you are nasty.

[Mystic Mock]

Democracy in the UK has seriously dropped.

I still remember when Ding Dong The Witches Dead was wrongly not being played even though it was number 1 in the charts.

Money to food banks is no way on the same level as a charity

[Withano]

You're not angry about that Spanish song or that Liam Payne song beating Ariana in the download chart though... so it's pretty obvious what you're actually angry about.

[LukeB]

Money to food banks is no way on the same level as a charity

Still a good cause and it's wonderful we live in a world that helps people during the bad times :love:

[Denver]

People wouldnt need foodbanks if they didnt spoke and spend money on things you dont need

[Lostie!]

You know you've hit a new low when you start playing charity top trumps.

[LukeB]

People wouldnt need foodbanks if they didnt spoke and spend money on things you dont need

yeah.. not everyone in food banks have that reason :umm2: stop talking bull**** and stop whining about which charity gets what.

[LukeB]

You know you've hit a new low when you start playing charity top trumps.

whatever next.

[Black Dagger]

Gosh you're odious.

[Withano]

Tune in to BBC radio one at about 6 to see how they deal with this!

[lewis111]

They won't play it, they won't be allowed
They'll just be like, at number 6 (maybe) is a New Entry for Captian Ska
And moving on to number 5 is...

[Withano]

Yeh, but thats kinda hilarious and is only gonna get the song more attention!

:joker: who is this guy! What a lad

[joeysteele]

It for sure is a totally appropriate song and fully correct as to Mrs (untrustworthy deceitful) May.

[Withano]

They just played a compilations of tracks that might get number one, the presenter reffered to 'a political campaign song' also standing a chance!

[Withano]

Theyre at number 7 already, I was way off with my estimation of 6pm-ish

[DemolitionRed]

People wouldnt need foodbanks if they didnt spoke and spend money on things you dont need

Tell that to the people who don't smoke or spend money on things they don't need and still have to use food banks.

[MB.]

A top 5 smash! When can Ed Sheeran?

[Tom4784]

Are the 'One More Time' sales even going to charity? I think Adam's suggestion that a charity single isn't worth if it isn't for Manchester to be quite flawed.

I personally agree that the song shouldn't be played, I'm pretty sure it's in breach of partiality laws that broadcasters have to abide to in times of general elections plus it's ****ing woeful.

[Withano]

:joker: i agree they shouldnt play it tbf

They went to some newsround reporter instead that explained why it wasn't being played in a very serious tone, and without mentioning May or Conservatives once!

It got to number 4

[Kizzy]

Just play the effing song! partiality laws ....pffft

It's a protest song, what the hell is wrong with that?...

[Withano]

They half implied that its because of the upcoming election, so it might get played next week?

[Jack_]

I'm sure I saw someone on Twitter say they'd scoured both the BBC's election impartiality guidance and Ofcom's rules and found nothing pertaining to political songs.

They did this with Ding Dong... after Thatcher's death too. It of course wouldn't be appropriate for either song to be playlisted, but the remit of the official chart is to play the most bought/streamed songs of the week. If you don't do that, the show is pointless. Mind you, the chart is so short these days they can get away with it.

[Kizzy]

Well with ding dong I accept that, it was not appropriate but this is, it's the democratic will of the people that downloaded that song :hehe:

[Kizzy]

Next week no 1
