The plight of artists which you are absolutely NOT allowed to raise at the BBC concerns the former Leader/Trailer catalogue, currently in the clutches of a Gollum-like creature in North Yorkshire. I have been told to keep my mouth shut about Celtic Music/Music By Mail and its associated distributors/shamefaced collaborators far more times than anybody else has been censored for SoH/Lakeperson over-abuse.

Because the BBC continues to carry ads for this nasty little, wholly unethical outfit on its F&A page, I don't find it at all difficult to fathom why they behave as they do. Like it or not, the BBC which we pay for is a business, obliged by Charter to conform to various guidelines and constraints with which we may or may not agree. Being harangued constantly by one person to operate a wholly unfeasible music policy, wrapped up in off-the-wall, Daily Mail-like social policy fantasies, is likely to get up their noses. Why LC is unable to see this remains a mystery.
