bbc radio 1 bosses have today reiterated their decision to censor the expression " faggot " from the 20 year older " fairytale of new york " song by the siouxsie . the initial censoring of the song induced controversy recently as the song had been read for 20 seasons in censoring , and culminated in the others contacting the bbc saying the decision was " ridiculous " . the ban was also ridiculed for the statement that it only applied to radio 1 and not to media 2 or any other unit on the bbc spectrum .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
