International No apology from Britain's state broadcaster after it promoted the 'music' of child killer who brags about the killing in his songs

[Croo67]

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which UK residents are forced to pay a £169.50 annual tax for, has been slammed after it promoted the 'music' of Jake Fahri, who in 2008 at age 19 murdered 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen as he waited in line at a bakery with his brother, who Fahri was known to bully.

Jimmy, who was an altar boy at his local church, was described as being of 'immaculate character'. In response to the murder, Jimmy's parents founded a charity which works with schools across the UK to make communities safer by challenging youngsters to become peacemakers.

After being released from his paltry 14-year sentence, Fahri became a 'rapper' - penning lyrics such as "Stuck it on a man and watched him melt like Ben and Jerry's...", which is believed to be in reference to the murder of Jimmy.

The BBC recently aired Fahri's 'music' on its radio stations, with hosts describing the child killer as an 'up and coming star' and claiming he 'really stands out'. Despite receiving backlash, the BBC is yet to apologise.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Yea, Britain's weak and an embarrassment to western civilization.

If the people don't have realignment of values and express it, then they deserve to burn to the ground.

 

[Kingz]

Fahri huh?

Sounds rather Islamy

No wonder he only served the least possible amount of years in a “life” sentence.

 

[White Whale]

What is happening in the UK is just sad. The government is defending people committing horrible crimes while going after anyone exposing it.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

BBC also plays music by nonces like Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.

 

[oldshadow]

He should have been never let out I the first place.

You guy are truly fucked over however you vote for what you get.

 

[Snubnoze707]

Guy sounds like a total POS and should still be locked up, but labeling a 19 year old that killed a 16 year old a "child killer" is a pretty big stretch.

The lyrics aren't very specific either.

I'd say arguing otherwise is a 'pretty big stretch'.

 

[Snubnoze707]

I mean it's just factually incorrect. A 16 year old isn't a child it's a teenager. A child hasn't yet went through puberty.

Again, the guy is obviously a POS I'm not defending him. Should be locked up forever for taking another life IMO, or face the same fate.

This is pretty misleading though.

A 16-year-old is a child in Britain. A 19-year-old is an adult in Britain.

I'm not sure where the confusion is?

You skip over teenage years in Britain? Learn something new everyday...

 

[Anewt]

Guys trash and in no way is this a defence of him. But he threw a glass tray which shattered and glass pierced the poor kids neck.


Still the guy has A record and it was a long history fucking with that family.


So 14 years... seems fair ? Yet still inadequate

And was seen walking away smiling as his child victim bled out, before almost two decades later bragging about the murder in a ‘song’.

He smiled as he left yes. He didnt watch his victim bleed out.

Look at you trying to use the most emotive possible language.

Look the guy is utter trash. Im not defending him. But honestly with the way the uk is i was pleasantly surprised to see he got 14 years.

But its still inadequate for the victims loved ones.

So you want music policed now ?

 

[Anewt]

By the way you really should have included the most up to date information....

Hes back in jail for it already.... bbc never played that song and the blaming of bbc is directed by Starmer.... almost like hes trying to get attention away from the shit that involves him lol...

Prison recall for Jake Fahri after 'shameless' Jimmy Mizen murder boast

Killer recalled to prison after murder 'boast'​

1 day ago

Jimmy Mizen, left, was murdered by Jake Fahri in 2009
The murderer of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen has been recalled to prison after "shamelessly boasting" about his crime, the Probation Service said.

Jake Fahri, then 19, was sentenced to life after he threw a large glass dish that shattered, severing an artery in the 16-year-old's neck, at a bakery in Lee, south-east London, in 2008.

The 35-year-old was released on licence in June 2023 following his 14-year term but recalled on Thursday morning.

The Sun newspaper claimed that Fahri is masked drill artist TEN and had recorded music referencing the murder.
Two songs by TEN have been played on BBC Radio 1Xtra's Introducing show, although not those with the apparent reference to murder.

A Probation Service spokesperson said: "Our thoughts are with Jimmy Mizen's family who deserve better than to see their son's murderer shamelessly boasting about his violent crime."

I think this is a horrendous case, and obviously I think the BBC in particular will want to reflect on the featuring of the person who killed him," she added.

A spokesperson for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: "He thinks the BBC needs to answer some questions pretty urgently.

"And obviously I've seen that the individual involved has now been returned to custody and his release or otherwise will be a matter for an independent parole board."

"I reiterate the Prime Minister's thoughts with Jimmy Mizen's family who deserve better than to see their son's murderer shamelessly boasting about his violent crime," they added.

A BBC spokesperson said: "This individual does not feature on any BBC playlists, we have never played - as we pointed out to the Sun - the lyrics they have printed.

"He's had two other tracks played twice. 1Xtra has no further plans to play his music, we were not aware of his background and we in no way condone his actions."

How many kids did Robert Plant or Elvis murder you twat?

How many kids did Robert Plant or Elvis murder you twat?

"Nonce" doesn't mean murderer. It means diddler, and yeah, stations do broadcast a lot of material from "questionable" artists, who are just too famous to have any of their misdeeds brought against them, like those guys. Shit, I'm pretty sure Sir Paul McCartney once dated a 15 year old. Hell, Jerry Lee Lewis still gets played here and there, and he's a documented incestual diddler. Sometimes the people want to hear "Great Balls of Fire", though.

It is what it is. I think this case is a bit on the nose to ignore and it seems really bad considering what's going on in Britain right now, but I'm not gonna pretend that this is the only piece of shit the music industry has promoted. I'd wager 1 out of 3 gangsta rappers have caught some bodies.

Had no idea what that word meant to be honest, thanks for clarifying.

Errr... yes?

I'd rather the state broadcaster didn't air 'music' featuring child killers bragging about their child killing. Leave that drivel to some backwater liberal station that people have a choice to support.

Should be cancel Tupac and Biggie then?
