Who cares?
If you're that desperate to hear the word faggot then listen to it on Spotify or buy the record
Absolutely brilliant from The Pogues

What an absolute waste of space that Fox is.
Gotta laugh at R1 taking the moral high ground again... Mike Reid's outrage at Relax.
The radio has killed that song for me anyway.
Used to enjoy it but now its up their with Slade and Roy Wood.
Bloke I know, a few years ago, he is a bit iffy, invited the two gay barmen from our local back to his house after closing time. They came in and sat on the settee, his missus, who was in bed, heard them downstairs and came down, marched into the kitchen, came back in the living room threw a can of peas at them and said ‘There you go, faggots & peas’. True story that, the barmen loved telling us all, they thought it was a good laugh. Anyway, the bloke’s missus is unfortunately no longer with us through drink and he is still not sure if he’s Arthur or Martha.
The triggered generation are easily offended.
Faggot is not allowed but slut is.
How bizarre
I suppose the logic is that faggot is a pejorative term for someone that has no control over who they are, whereas slut is just a sexist word for someone who's made certain life choices. If it makes things simpler, I'm pretty sure slut won't be allowed for much longer either.
If memory serves me right quite a few radio stations would not play Enola Gay. You just have to laugh.
But the BBC are not 'refusing' to play it.
They said they will play the original version on Radio 2 and leave it to DJ's to choose on Radio 6, but that they feel that the words, acceptable at the time, may be misconstrued by younger listeners who are the target audience of Radio 1.
If a radio 1 listener likes what he, it or she hears and goes to you-tube or somewhere they'll hear the original anyway, if they don't already know it.
Everyone's always to pissed, dancing and singing, to hear the words anyway.
Shane has said it means that, and it is taken in the context of how she would speak. It doesn't offend me but I am not gay. Faggot is a bundle of sticks on a fire (as well as the meat), and they used to burn gay people to death. That's why it's offensive. Do they say s**t and f**k? No. It is a complete non story.
Final word, the actual artist understands why they've done it. Him. The bloke that wrote the flipping thing.
