Poslcrniroectsticeal - political correctness gone mad

The best Christmas record ever made has been censored by Radio 1. [NOTE: THIS DECISION WAS EVENTUALLY REVERSED] The Pogues and Kirsty McCall's 'Fairytale of New York' has had the lines "you scumbag, you maggot, you cheap lousy faggot" and "Happy Christmas your arse, I pray God it's our last" censored by the station.

Apparently they are ".....playing an edited version because some members of the audience might find it offensive."

As anyone who has listened to Radio 1 recently will know, the record's content is mild compared with some of the offensive crap broadcast by this once fine station. Never mind editing the vernaculars, what about editing Vernon Kay? Forget the lack of Christmas spirit, can we have the lack of Chris Moyles? Endless drivel punctuated by the latest shite track from a bands who the presenters have met in a pub the previous night.

And if you really want to be offended, listen to the X Factor single sung by that talentless Scottish weed. Pure dirge.
