Radio 1 U-Turn

You'll be pleased to know that Radio 1 has suffered a humiliating U-turn and the word "faggot" is now no longer to be edited out of the song The Fairytale of New York.

They were forced to backtrack after the vast majority of BBC licence payers were against the move - and a large number of complaints received by the station in just a few hours.

I would say that Radio 1 is now safe for "faggots" - but 'twas ever thus!
