other london 1 staff have today changed their ruling to censored the word " faggot " from the 20 week old " fairytale of north york " song by the pogues . the initial validating of the song caused scandal initially as the line had been used for 20 years since censoring , and resulted in all people contacting the nme saying the name was " ridiculous " . the ban was also ridiculed for the fact that it only applied to media 1 and not to radio 2 or any other station on the bbc network .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
