featured a panel labelled The Big Picture, with a button to ‘Reveal image’. Clicking on the button popped-up an enlarge image pop-up page, featuring singer Lily Allen, with the caption:
Singer Lily Allen signs autographs for school children in London’s Parliament Square as she launches the Make Space Youth Review. The report demonstrates worrying trends in teenagers lives such as antisocial behaviour. (my emphasis)
Would this be the same Lily Allen whose launch video, Smile, featured her:
- singing “but you were f***ing that girl next door”
- paying a friend to hire a gang to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend
- smiling as her ex-boyfriend is attacked and robbed of his cellphone
- receiving the stolen phone and going to a cafe with her ex
- hired thugs breaking in to and trashing her ex’s home and possessions
- slipping laxative drugs into her ex’s drink when he’s not looking
- gloating as the drugs take effect and he notices his scratched records
Strange then that BBC Views Online should omit this from their jolly pop-up report, keen as the BBC seem to be to promote Allen’s career. I wonder if either Allen or the BBC have figured out just where kids get anti-social ideas from…
Spot-on again; another example of the BBC (and the Left in general) pulling up its skirts and going all prissy about a problem that
it has helped to create.
This has been going on for forty-odd years.
Good Morning
I was confused why the sudden rush in interest in such an over-rated “singer” until I realized that Lily Allen was the daughter of Keith Allen…….
No doubt fully endorsed by such “hip” people like Kristy and Germaine on Midnight Review.
I saw the Lily Allen video a few months ago. Can’t help wondering if the BBC would be so keen to promote a male singer who had a video showing him organising the mugging/drugging/robbing/burgling of his ex-girlfriend…

Hmmm….it should come as no surprise, after all Al Beeb was quite happy to promote the Prodigy when the “Smake my Bitch up” video was doing the rounds.
Still i havn’t got over the laughter when Alive and Kicking showed the Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker:

More interestingly however is how can promoting Keith Allen’s daughter be in the good of public health seeing as the girl smokes about 40 a day?
After all we are the fattest,most unhealthy nation after America…
I CARE BECAUSE YOU DO.
What sort of “kids” get these unfortunate “antisocial ideas” which, apparently, even more unfortunately too often turn into “antisocial behavior”? I mean, are all “kids” in the UK equally likely to be involved in that?
eh
She’s her father’s daughter, so to speak.
She was also suspended from school for giving blowjobs to her classmates. Her parents were notified but apparently didn’t care…she told Rolling Stone magazine, “They didn’t care… They’re products of the 60s, they’re bang up for a bit of that.”
David, it would have been better if you’d posted a link to back that up – assuming you aren’t speaking first hand, as it were 🙂
Unsourced allegations like that always make me skip a beat – but a quick Google later and it turns out that it’s no big deal as far she is concerned. Glad the school thought otherwise.
Quite appaling. Clearly the ghastly product of ghastly parents.
Doesn’t sound so much like anti-social behaviour as normal female behaviour to me.
