bbc radio 1 bosses have today regretted their intention to restrict the word " faggot " from the 20 year old " fairytale of young delhi " songs by the maccoll . the initial censoring of the song caused controversy recently as the piece had been used for 20 years after censoring , and resulted in many listeners contacting the bbc saying the request was " bizarre " . the ban was also roundly for the idea 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".
