but now you have a publisher or platform being the kind of moral editor. are you comfortable with that? i'm comfortable... firstly we have to understand that spotify is a corporation. am i comfortable with a corporation deciding for its own platform the rules, yeah because i don't own it. if artists owned the platform, to take a strong attitude would make sense, but we don't own it. it is something our music is distributed on. that's my personal opinion. personally because i'm an artist, when i create, i have a high standard of morality and a sense of responsibility. for me personally, i try to make sure that it something that's going to be truthful and helpful. that's me. other artists may feel less inclined and feel they don't want to have these governors stifling my art and expression. so they may take a different position. i think that spotify, as a huge corporation who distributes music and has a strong hold on the marketplace

in doing so, i think it's a good exercise. i think the morality of an artist should be put to question. you make a great point, we've run out of time. thank you forjoining us. that's nearly all we have time for tonight. we'll be back on monday with a special programme with evan from northern ireland, looking at brexit and the border — probably the biggest issue facing the government as it prepares for leaving the eu. but, before we go — as you probably know, 2a hours to stop worrying about counting calories, skip the juice cleanse, and gorge on gluten. which brought to mind that most ground breaking of healthy living
