Welcome to the home of the pirate radio debate. Pirate radio stations have long been an issue, dating as far back as the 1930s, during the days of Radio Luxembourg. Ever since then, authorities have attempted to crack down on these stations as they might cause a threat to emergency services, licenced radio services and disrupt communities, as was the case with the rape allegations which led to the race riots in Birmingham.
