most radio 1 bosses have today made their decision to censor the word " faggot " from the 20 year young " fairytale of newest amsterdam " poem by the pogues . the initial censorship of the title prompted controversy tonight as the song had been played for 20 years without censoring , and consisted in many men contacting the bbc speaking the comment was " inappropriate " . the banning was also castigated for the state that it only applied to radio 1 and not to radio 2 or any other station on the bbc network .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
