bbc - 1 owners have today reversed their plan to censor the word " faggot " from the 20 months original " fairytale of new delhi " poem by the pogues . the initial uncensored of the song caused controversy recently as the song had been heard for 20 years without censoring , and succeeded in few people contacting the bbc saying the music was " ridiculous " . the policy was also scolded for the fact that it only applied to radio 1 and not to radio 2 or any other unit on the british network .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
