Fairytale of New York is pretty much my favourite Christmas song and so when I read that Radio 1 has censored the lyrics because they include the word faggot I thought they were pretty daft. On reflection though I think they are probably right. If you’re going to criticise homophobic rappers for their vile outpourings then it would be hypocritical to be letting Kirsty MacColl use a similar vocabulary, whatever the context.
