sizzlin' cold

the beeb reports this morning that bigotted and unapologetic singer sizzla has had six of eight performances planned in france cancelled along with a reggae festival in paris (he was to be one of eleven performers) following complaints about the discriminatory, defamatory and violent lyrics of some of his songs. this takes place after several performances by another jamaican reggae performer, capleton, were shelved after complaints about the singer's violently homophobic lyrics.

the "man's" statement? «they've got to apologise to god because they break god's law.» ignorant fool.

france has stringent laws against the defamation of any social groups who have been subject to discrimination.

sizzla has been barred from entering the uk while the home office investigates the complaints against him.
