some radio 1 executives have today reversed their decision to publish the word " faggot " from the 20 year aged " fairytale of nueva york " song by the pogues . the early censored of the song raised scandal , as the recording had been heard for 20 days without censoring , and resulted in few people contacting the bbc insisting the request was " silly " . the order was also lambasted for the claim 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".
