Should a block now be put on all these vile rapper's words, which to me only incite violence against women and other violence and aggression?

I'm still disgusted at the bullying attitude of the coronation street producers, they did the same to philip lowrie 45 years ago and they've only changed names now not their attitude , yet they lay claim to the early career of Joe Guilgun who's played murderers and drug dealers over the last few years and very successfully too, hypocrits they are and cowards. Though the press are the real culprits for linking the video on you tube by chris fountain to the other suspended actors under threat of a guilty charge , why are they not sensationally sacked already? as i keep saying, i hope he's in a union and i hope he sues their arse off
he has been sacked from a prime time family show, not banned from anything - he could continue rapping all he likes.
this is not a legal issue, its about ITV having to be seen to not tolerate this sort of thing.
there is a frosty atmosphere towards him onset now, various cast and crew complaining and refusing to have anything to do with him.
they expected him to behave like a decent bloke in public as he somewhat represents them.
others have not been sacked simply because they have not been found guilty yet.
they have been accused and anyone can accuse - so they cannot sack on that basis - when and if they are convicted then they will undoubtedly be sacked.
there is no question about what chris has done, so no need to wait.
he probably cannot sue because i expect he signed something promising to represent corrie in a good light in public and he has shamed himself.

This is all about the money - follow the money and you'll find the advertisers and sponsors threatening to quit these prime time advertising slots.
Craig Charles kept his job when he was arrested for drug taking, so did Jimi Harkishin, even though there were photos all over the media of them taking drugs.
Chris Gascoyne was prosecuted for drink driving and kept his job. Sue Cleaver.
All these examples are crimes that they were convicted for in real life. Crimes, not stupid words in a stupid rap while wearing a mask and using a pseudonym. Chris Fountain is guilty of nothing but is a victim of a media witch hunt

hc - as i said many of the cast and crew are furious with him and wont work with him, thy have ganged up and complained etc (mainly females)
i guess the drug taking stuff etc wasn't as personal to them, there was no sense of it being 'against' them.
threatening violence and rape to women has obviously upset half of his colleagues
i do think its all a bit dramatic, but then i also think he is a total pr1ck so have no sympathy
