Shameless BBC promoted the vile rhyming rants of Jimmy Mizen’s merciless killer and MUST apologise

NO apology, no contrition from the shameless BBC for promoting the vile rhyming rants of Jimmy Mizen’s merciless killer. Instead it spat out a defiant statement that BBC Radio 1Xtra only ever played two tracks, had no idea who Jake Fahri was and “in no way condone his actions”.

A relief, that, since he is the cold-blooded murderer of an innocent teen. Why did they not bother to do even a few seconds’ due diligence about the “drill” rapper hiding behind the balaclava?. It doesn’t seem to have troubled them to air the vicious outpourings of an anonymous, swaggering thug, glorying in the use of knives and machetes.
The BBC did belatedly take Fahri off its website yesterday. Any broadcaster would have, albeit faster. But the BBC, as Keir Starmer says, must remember its “unique responsibility”. It exists only thanks to a £3.6billion annual bung extracted by law from us all.
It has to take criticism seriously. The BBC must apologise to the Mizens. And the Justice Ministry must investigate whether Fahri breached his probation with sick lyrics glorifying murder and should be put back behind bars where he belongs. FIRST we were told demanding a national inquiry into grooming gangs was “jumping on a far-right bandwagon”.
Then the Government argued that a limited previous probe was ample. Now Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says there WILL be a three-month “audit” to gauge the scale of the crisis — plus new local inquiries and some cold cases reopened. But the inquiries cover just five areas.
