It should be played simply because it's not the BBC's place to be taking a stance on a political issue. This is what people want to buy, so on the basic premise of the chart show - this is what you have to play. It doesn't have to be playlisted or even discussed but it needs to be played so as not to potentially poke their nose in on this issue.
I'm not entirely convinced they're going to play it but I'll be very disappointed if it's not. And that's not because I support this, it's because it simply isn't the BBC's choice to decide not to play a song that people have been buying and downloading. The show is meant to reflect this week's sales, so I'm sorry, but it needs to be played. Last edited by Jack_; 11-04-2013 at 05:40 PM. |

I hope they don't do what they did with Crazy Frog and just say the title and not play it.

They have to acknowledge it, but I doubt they'll play it. It's not their place to make political statements, but there's a line to be drawn somewhere and I think they'll draw it at playing a song that's charted to poke fun at a former British Prime Minister's death.

BBC to play Ding Dong in chart show despite anti-Thatcher Facebook push
Radio 1 says it may ask Newsbeat reporter to explain context of song, as top five entry poses test for corporation's new chief http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2013...tcher-facebook |

If it is in the charts and people have payed money to get it there, it should be played.

Fair enough about people listening to it in their free time but I think we can afford to let a few quid slip by for the sake of her loved ones, who are actually mourning. Please don't think I'm having a go, but there are priorities and showing respect for those near to her is so much more important than money wasted on such a distasteful and utterly pointless song.

Not being funny, people have bought this to mock a dead woman. Like her or not, it's disrespectful, and if BBCR or whoever else don't want to play it then so be it, people can listen to it with their headphones in if they really wish.

Personally,I am more incensed at public money going to the funeral costs than I am as to this very short song having a week or two in the charts. I am able though to see all points. I just don't think myself that the BBC should fall down on one side or the other,so should just play the daft thing for a week and actually doing so will likely draw less attention to it anyway. |

I've just been infuriated about this whole topic over this past week so I may sometimes come across as having a go.

I think they should just play it....it's getting more bloody attention with people debating whether or not it should be played. Her family will be under no illusion as of the strength of feeling both for and more notably against her. This is just feeding the fanaticals IMO who are trying to use anything as a fight. It's bad taste IMO but its not going to effect much in the long run.

What goes on in the real world is entirely separate from the BBC's output, it should simply just exist to reflect what is going on outside with no biased input of its own. If people have bought this song and it has charted high enough to be played on the Official Chart Show, Radio 1 should do what it always does and play it. |

But does it mean that they are being 100% pro Thatcher by not playing it? Could it not be that this whole campaign is disgusting and offensive to some? It's not some pop-song that's charted highly, it's a song that is being used to mock a persons death.

The debates about whether or not this is acceptable should happen outside of the BBC, they are just merely a platform to reflect the happenings in the outside world in a unbiased manner. Last edited by Jack_; 11-04-2013 at 08:25 PM. |

This reminds me of Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Relax. That was initially released and then subsequently banned by Radio 1- which drove it to number 1 and got it far more attention than it would have got otherwise and the same thing is happening here. I agree with jack it should just be played and that be the end of it, it stops getting the attention and goes back to being just a song from the wizard of oz
