BBC 1 censored the word "faggot" while airing "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues. Fans are furious. You?

Politically correct BBC Radio station chiefs have censored the word 'faggot' from the classic Christmas song "Fairytale of New York" in fear of upsetting homosexuals. The hit, which is challenging for the Christmas number one spot, is famous for it's outrageous lyrics and was recently voted the best Xmas song ever in a VH1 poll. The Pogues' legendary ballad tells the story of a junkie couple reminiscing on Christmas Eve about youthful ambitions which never materialised.

During the foul-mouthed pop hit, lead singer Shane MacGowan and English singer Kirsty MacColl hurl insults at each other in a supposedly drunken manner. In one part of the song MacColl sings: "You scumbag, you maggot you cheap lousy faggot, Merry Christmas you arse I pray God It's our last."
