- Streets of Sorrow Birmingham Six the latest single by London Irish band The Pogues has been banned in Britain.
The song was written in support of the Birmingham Six and has been banned from broadcast by the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) in Britain under new anti-terrorism guidelines.
We’ve never been told ourselves why the record has been banned.
Frank Murray, manager of the Pogues, describes how the IBA came to the decision to ban the song on the basis that it alleges that some people who were convicted in British courts were in fact innocent.
Phil Chevron adds that according to the IBA, the song alleges that Irish people could be disadvantaged under the British court system. On the subject of a right to repeal the decision, Chevron says,
We just make music and in some ways, it’s quite heartening that they think that we’re so important to ban us.
Shane MacGowan has no regrets about writing the song. He says he wrote the song to promote the cause of the Birmingham Six and to help to get them released from prison for a crime which he believes they did not commit.
An RTÉ News report broadcast on 21 November 1988. The reporter is Colm Connolly.
RIP Shane MacGowan. Irish legend.
Wasn’t he boring in tunbridge wells ? So he’s English.
@@damienhaigh7666 jesus, have a day off
You don't need to be born in Ireland to be an irish legend. The brilliant James Connolly, The wonderful Jack Charlton. Even St Patrick himself was a gift from France.
Yes, born in England, and ex English public schoolboy 😂😂😂
@@il9237He hated all that was dear to English tossers. That's all that matters. 👍
Damn! It's almost as if Shane wrote his own epitaph at the end of this interview.
Journo: "Have you any regrets now?"
Shane: Laughs sarcastically.
Beautifully captures Shane's rebellious spirit.
So long Shane, thank you for all the great music and all the great memories they accompany.
AHAHAAAAHHAAHAHA!!! I'd never seen that until just now! That laugh of his at the end when asked if he had any regrets....Oh man! His laugh is contagious!
Just, Nah! nothing more needed saying.. :)
My dad was his GP so you can imagine he was a very difficult patient. 😂
A lights gone out , RIP Shane , finest poet of his generation .
WHAT !!!....poet 🤣😂....useless washed out dope more like...utter idiot.
Rest in peace to Shane MacGowan a true Irish legend packed so much in for 65… no more pain
Packed in a lot of heroin, to be sure
I only discovered the Pogues this year but their music has really captured me, Huge loss RIP
Same here when I discovered the lyrics, the type of person he was. He didn't seem to take offence to anything, said about him. The fact the he wrote all the music for the song of new York (can't remember the official name) is absolutely incredible and that when it was suggested they have some artifical help with it he refused.
RIP Shane McGowan. A genius, a legend and a poet that will never be seen again. Heart goes out to his loved ones, Victoria the measure of his dreams, his Father and sister and the rest of his family. Sad day.
ahhh Shane and Sinead lost this year we will never see the likes of them again so sad RIP to the both of you
Birmingham 6, Guildford 4 ….. disgraceful legal system
Music won't be the same without Shane, Very few musicians had the skill and creativity
Ha Ha ha, hilarious, when he was alive he was rightfully mocked,now he's gone we're supposed to believe he was this musical genius?
@@83dudedid you know him personally? no you fuckin didn't yea judgemental prick
@@83dude try and write poetry, instead of shite talk yourself dinkleberry ballsack licker
@@83dude who da fook mocked his music? your friends, maybe
@@83dudeYour wife sleeps with other men. Nothing surer
He couldn't face listening to Fairytale Of New York another thousand times this December. RIP 🙏
😂😂😂👍 Aye, to be sure!
Oh you're funny. Not.
A genius A rebel and also A gent RIP Shane McGowan
You need to look up genius in the oxford dictionary...if you regard shane mc gowan as a genius there is seriously something amiss....a phoney drug and drink addled middle class public schoolboy with zero talent, people only liked him because he was a drunken ugly gawp
@@PeteBurns-xv2fz really? You've hit a new low with this comment. I find you utterly disgusting. The guy just left a widow and spent his life producing music and writing some of the most illuminating lyrics about all walks of life and all you can do is berate and belittle him? You really are a scumbag. Look in the mirror pal, look in the mirror.
It’s astonishing that behind that clueless persona was a poet and a musical genius
One of life’s contradictions. I wonder if they exist so entirely outside of the system and the way it programmes everyone else that they are in fact the original blueprint of how we would all think if we weren’t so corn fed with bullshit.
Shane McGowen R.I.P
RIP Shane MacGowan
Saying a special prayer for Shane MacGowan❣️ Shane's songs will always live in my heart. Truly sad to lose him❣️ ❤ RIP❤
Shane and The Pogues played their part in the fight for Irish Freedom! RIP (Rest In Power) beautiful man.
People crawling out of the woodwork again saying how great friends they were with Shane where were they last few years
This is 36 years old, one of em is actually Shane
We have lost a true legend, there will never be anyone come close to having Shane's talent! RIP Shane ☘️ 🇮🇪
Yes, he did strangely well for an English ex public schoolboy 🏴🇬🇧
😂
If u had a 10th of the talent Shane had u might actually qualify to comment on him. Both Shane's parents were Irish and Shane never denied he was born in England. Thing is his Irish roots were way stronger than English! People like u are absolute tossers! Its all about ure little petty game of point scoring but nobody gives a shit about u and ure pathetic little sad life. I bet when its ure time to die no one will even notice uve gone!! ☘️🇮🇪
@@il9237he was more Irish than you
@@il9237 He grew up in the countryside in Tipperary Ireland to an irish mother and father you tool..
@@MB-pe1dw I'm not Irish at all thank God.
Rest In Peace Shane 🙏 🇮🇪
Streams of Whiskey are flowing 🥃 in respect you Shaney Mac ☮️👍😊💗
Gotta take a listen to that one immediately after reading your comment reminded me of that great song!
@@wangson it's one of his very best mate, as his Dark Streets of London. The first album, Red Roses
Great Clip. Thanks for sharing. A great talent.
Shane and Sinead! Both legends! RIP to you both
Don't forget Christy.
It had to catch up to him sooner or later, at the very least I can say I'm glad he kept those middle fingers up 'til his last.
Shane's laugh always cracks me up - what a legend.
What a legend
RIP. A great Irishman.
Frank Murray, manager of the Pogues and great old friend of Phil Lynott the greatest rocking poet of all time, brilliant Phil Chevron and the might Shane MacGowan the man who could not tell a lie. What a very fine bunch of men those 3 fellows were God blessed them all and invited them into the Kingdom of Heaven and granted them eternal peace and with the invite to could come and play down in the Kingdom Hall at weekends
Vous avez raison.
Je suis fan de THIN LIZZY, POGUES depuis 30 ans.
Salutations du sud-ouest de la France !
@@didiervidry7687 You got that right, God blessed you with great taste in music, Yes I fully agree with you, WHISKEY IN THE JAR' - THE DUBLINERS | THE POGUES | THIN LIZZY | METALLICA.
Not unless they repented
Streets of sorrow .
RIP Shane 🇮🇪 💚 🍀
'Birmingham Six' probably Shane's greatest lyric of them all. The corrupt British Establishment skewered
❤❤❤❤
RIP Shane McGowen

Irish legends 🇮🇪
The greatest man ever born in england just died 😢
Legend Shane McGowan.
He was Irish
@@johnmulligan455He was Irish AND born in England. I’d imagine that was the point of the comment - an Irishman was the best thing England ever produced 😂🤣
considering you say this whilst speaking English is a joke itself@@craigfitzpatrick1663
He was right about the birmingham 6
RIP
Ah, the British. Simultaneously claiming the Pogues and banning them from the airwaves.
Love these lads💚💛🧡
RIP SHANE always on the right side of history! See ya on the other side.
Brilliant ending
You know you're making a difference if you're banned in England. R.I.P.
😅😅😅😅
Rip Shane, you never gave up.
SHANE YOU ARE A LEGEND
REST IN.PEACE
Birmingham six and many other Irish people and english people were beaten and framed for so called crimes they didn't commit
Seems to be a thing. And one that persist. Now if no crime committed one or many will be invented!
@@ronzombie6541 too true
RIP shane, one of the all time greats
The Truth Hurts!!!
😂classic Shane Mac. We’ll never see his like again.
"Any regrets now" THAT look THAT smile THAT laugh. RIP
"Peerless and fearless "
Patrick Kielty .
RIP Shane MacGowan.
What a bloody legend
I turned on the subtitles when Shane was speaking, it had no idea.
I still remember meeting them both while I was doing the layup for the banquet that night 😍 just the 2 of us me and Anne scally 😍
Forever Shane. ❤❤❤❤☘️
Remember the Pougues, Christmas at the Barrowland in Glasgow.. ❤👍
R.I.P Shane McGowan..
A beautiful guy. A true Irishman.
Rest easy Shane 😢🕊️🙏
lol ... The two lads going through mental gymnastics trying to tip-toe their way through not answering the question with the courage of their convictions ... And then Shane shows them what it looks like to posses both a pair of balls AND a spine.
his laugh always makes me laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tristesse de France.
Salut cher Shaun,tu es au paradis ❤!
They better honour him in Tunbridge Wells! R.i.p dear Shane ❤
👍👍
The falsely imprisoned were finally released.
I crack up every time I see the camera pan to Shane.
Shane was a G original G RIP 🙏🏻
This dirty old town doesn't exist now. Its out of town shopping centres. Drive through McDonald's and sports centres now. The gas works has been demolished and the canal turned into moorings for luxury house boats Shane. Your missing nothing. See ya soon for a drink.😢
Gutted, Shane was a legend!!! 😢
The world should rightly fear A Risen Ireland …
God bless ❤
It’s amazing how times change, and these days the Irish and British have come together to fight against the tyranny of their own governments.
@@johnbalance3989 .. I won’t
@@johnbalance3989Yeah keep your eyes closed we don't need silent cowards.
Britain always hated the truth shanes reaction tells it all what he thought of it all
👍👍👍
what song were they referring to?
Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six
It's not being born in Ireland that makes you Irish. It's Ireland being born in you.
And Kirsty was so lovely too 😍
RIP Shane
God rest your soul Shane. A true legend and a great Irishman . RIP☘️🇮🇪💚
Now Irish people are disadvantaged by Irish courts
How true 😅😅
Shane Macgowan with those beautiful Irish teeth.
Show us your teeth if you have not any left, I got a feeling that you are very happy about something, what is troubling you old boy

Met him at the Jarvis Piccadilly hotel Manchester In the international suite (peacock suite) along with Kirsty April 2000 she said she was going to Mexico for a holiday then she was involved in a boating accident 😭
RIP Gerry Conlon
Epic 💜
Judging by his most recent photos unfortunately he didn't look like he was going to be around for that much longer but I thought that he may have at least have been able to hang on into next year but it wasn't to be
➕ An Unholy Trinity ➕
Christy, Sinéad & Shane
2023 the year my youth died
Shane R.I.P...🥂
.
What song?RIP Shane you done what you wanted and gave no fecks what people thought ✌🏻👌🏻
Shane was a good bloke 😍
Ah yes the British never owning up to thier atrocitys
What a way to generalise 70+ million people and it’s “atrocities” you degenerate.
Are you going to own to Irish atrocities?
The only Atrocities are your spelling.
Ah yes, so don't plead to live here, and tell your relatives not to plead to live here either
@@John-lp5xh Spot on. Loads of Irish in England. Then they all slag it off. Personally I like them, but if the Irish hated Britain so much they wouldn’t live here.

Sadly all 3 are dead now, RIP
Was he permanently out of his tree
Where's the irish accent😮
I don’t see how a British person born in Kent could be banned?
Anyway
A sad loss to the world, so raise your glasses, I am sure he will have a very very very good send off.
Oh, but not now that shanes passed! Kccchkcccch!!😢😂
Common British L
Common Irish L
