Let them hang chi-chi gal

The current furore over the Jamaican singer Beenie Man has a rather odd backdrop when you try to look at it in perspective. The British Crown Prosecution Service is looking into prosecuting this Jamaican singer for the effect that his homophobic lyrics on songs for a Jamaican record label may have on Jamaican attitudes towards homosexuals.

It's a good job we never gave Jamaica independence, after all there would be all sorts of trouble being the ex-colonial power and that.

I do hope that Dr Gabb and his Libertarian chums raise a stink over this.
