Idea: songs and videos in the mothership "Friday Night ..." theme but for content that might see a post deletion moving to formal warning in "The Other Place"

eg I remember this back from the days when Putin had just made homosexuality illegal and was soon hosting the Winter Olympics at Sochi and many eveings shortly before the 19:00 Channel 4 News they'd broadcast their "message to olympians and Putin" and back in those days I thought "brilliant" as for the early evening and the message maybe a bit risky?

I'm almost tempted to go onto the main site's version to see if Frankie Goes to Hollywood's BBC-banned ditty gets a yellow card.

I saw the late canadian duo Maclean and Maclean at the Edinburgh fringe about 40 years ago.
Their album 'Maclean and Maclean suck their way to the top' has a track about a famous C&W singer who died this week.

It would be in bad taste even for this thread to post a link but it is out there...

A couple from my rebellious youth
Legion, Mili KK (compulsory military service is shįt)

Compulsory military service was a thing until the late 90s in Spain. I got out of it because I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes before I had to join. The song finishes with the sentence "cara al culo" (face towards the ärse), a parody of the fascist anthem "cara al sol" (face towards the sun).

La Polla Records, Hipócritas Católicos (Dick Records, Catholic Hypocrites). The title says it all

From BBC2 but I suspect not OK for "the other place" (not a song either).

I actually watched the entire series and still have it recorded. Good cast and at the time and 1st watching I found it amusing (if predictable and a lot of stereotypes). Doesn't work so well watching again. I think cast probably saved a poor script?

Phone cut off the bottom paragraph - my point!

Aspect I found interesting was that browsing from UK (IP geolocated to UK) Google flag the content (broadcast on BBC TV) as "Age restricted" but browse from some other European countries or an IP address that cannot be geolocated and it's unflagged, freely available to all. Made me wonder about the "pressure" Google is responding to censoring and restricting UK content and who that pressure if from.
