bbc number 1 management have today reversed their decision to censor the words " faggot " from the 20 season aged " fairytale of new york " piece by the pogues . the initial censoring of the line brought problems recently as the single had been played for 20 years without censoring , and resulted in many men contacting the bbc because the suggestion was " ridiculous " . the ban was additionally ridiculed for the claim that it only extended to fm 1 and not to no 2 or any other station on the bbc network .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
