Looks like you've done some serious research (or picked it up in Nuts) whereas I had not really given it that much thought, nor heard Shane McGowan's comments.
Isn't it just a word that rhymes with maggot
Isn't it a song centred around a couple that for years had their ups and downs, slinging insults at each other in a drunken rage.
This this is a song, a performance not too dissimilar to what goes on in Eastenders or Corrie. Gratuitous violence is commonplace on telly, shouldn't it be treated it the same?
As for Shane and the interview where he says what you say he says, I'm guessing it was the first thing that entered his pickled brain, especially as the interviewer (daily mail?) was buying.
He said the right thing.
Far worse stuff played / shown by the BBC over the years.
Attention seeking, non story, moral high ground, sells papers, takes heat off what really matters in this day and age... take your pick.
oh never mind let's just hum it
He's even tweeted about it . I literally read the article and then pissed myself when he tweeted that knobhead Fox.
Faggot doesn't mean that, now it is just a word. You've not got a clue have you. You wouldn't say f--k, so you won't say faggot. It really is that simple. Faggot is a homophobic slur.
Who cares? Why do you care? If anyone is the snowflake, attention seeking making the most out of a non story it is you. You can't swear on Radio 1. Fine. If you care that much, listen to it on Spotify.
I'm going to have to take you to task regarding Spotify.
They're ***** just like Amazon.
Artists need around 10,000 plays to earn a £1 (its some ridiculous number), meaning Spotify is to music was amazon is to the high street.
Yet here you are waxing lyrical about a service that is killing the music industry.
The BBC, soecifically 6music, more specifically RadMac and Steve Lamacq, on the other hand, are at the vanguard of supporting up and coming artists.
I think you’re missing the point again. People aren’t removing this word because they’re offended by it as it’s still being played on radio 2. They’re removing this word because the age group that listens to radio 1 are younger and will have a lot of people struggling with their sexuality.
It has nothing to do with offense, it’s about making life better for a marginalised group.
I’d say there’s more of an argument for why the words ****, shit and **** get bleeped out. Why are people bothered by swearing?
