London Metropolitan Police have been criticised after allowing homophobic reggae artist Bounty Killer to perform in the capital.

Gay rights activists have accused the police of double standards for allowing the concert to take place.

"The Metropolitan Police is hypocritical on hate crimes," said gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell.

"It allows homophobic singers to perform in London, but not racist ones.

"Racist artists are banned on the grounds that they are a threat to public order and good community relations. This is a case of double standards."

I agree with him.

They can ban him singing homophobic songs all they want but it's the principal. Stupid homophobic rappers, world would be a better place without this crap rap music.

Don't think anyone should be banned from playing unless they'e shown themselves to be a problem. Free world.

Maybe a ban on singing the racist/homophobic songs.

What is wrong with rap artists though? Hate gay people, hate white people, treat women like objects... do they all have an IQ of -10 or something?

I think bounty killah and all them ragga artists (hes not a 'rap' artist) are backward as hell for singing homophobic songs (and **** knows why you'd pen a song on the subject matter anyway, unless you had a little too much to hide).

Even so, as long as he isn't directly telling the crowd to go gay bashing, let the music play on.

The guys wants to be known as 'Bounty Killer'. He clearly values human life differently. Killing people or shagging someone of the same sex? Hmmm, now which one is worse?

They don't have any talent or education and so have convinced people that by not being able to sing or do anything except shouting offensive words loudly, they are amazing

Yep and all white musicians sing country songs about putting on their hoods and stringing up darky
