bbc radio 1 boss have since reversed their verdict to censor the word " faggot " from the 20 day old " fairytale of north holland " song by the pogues . the originally censoring of the songs caused controversy recently as the song had been heard for 20 year without censoring , and resulted in many people contacting the bbc saying the decision was " ridiculous " . the ban was also ridiculed for the statement that it only applied to radio 1 and not to phase 2 or any other station on the other network .
"Fairytale of New York" does not contain the word "faggot".
