Bounty Gets Visa = Trouble in England
Anger as anti-gay reggae singer is granted UK visa
THE Home Secretary was criticised today for granting a visa to a controversial Jamaican reggae singer, allowing him to perform in London this weekend.
Jacqui Smith was accused by gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell of “rewarding a maladjusted thug” after the Home Office gave a work permit to dancehall artist Bounty Killer (Rodney Pryce).
Tatchell has accused the singer of glorifying the killing of gay people and promoting gang culture.
Bounty Killer will play at the Stratford Rex on Saturday.
Among his song lyrics are the lines “bun a fire pon a puff and mister faggoty”, translated as “burn a fire on poofs and faggots,” and “you know we need no promo to rub out dem homo” meaning “you know we don’t need prompting to kill a homosexual”.
