In a letter to the Daily Telegraph he accused the BBC of playing music that "glorifies the gun, homophobic aggression, male chauvinism and drug culture" and said the producers of certain music shows should "share some of the guilt every time a fl youth dies by the gun in Britain".
He added that reporters from Radio 1 and 1Xtra had secured exclusive interviews with friends of the two girls shot dead in Birmingham on New Year's Eve, because the friends listened to the stations and trusted them to promote non-violent behaviour.
