I remember being told that we couldn't fly a union flag on our building because it might upset local muslims. I was working at the british legion pub at the time! Daft! Andrew ps. I just realised - I have A,R & W in my name - an anagram of WAR. Are they going to ban me?

During the last Gulf War (assuming we're about to embark upon Gulf War 2) radio stations in the UK were banned from playing certain records and others were altered ("3 AM Eternal" had the gunfire removed, and Massive Attack's name was shortened to "Massive", etc.). Now, just this afternoon, a DJ on Radio Scotland announced that he was going to play "Rock the Casbah" by the Clash, but "wasn't allowed to". He played "I Fought the Law" instead.
Have I missed something, or have the Powers That Be (either the BBC or the government, or both) brought out the same ruling, twelve years later, banning the same tunes again? If so, there's been no reporting of it on the news. Sorry if this seems trivial, but considering we're not actually at war yet (and please God never will be), it seems amazing to me that DJs are being banned from playing certain records in mere ANTICIPATION of conflict!

PS - Why do I feel like I've just written to the "Daily Mail"?
