    I don't agree with banning old songs because of troublesome lyrics in any way but are you seriously deluding yourself that you think a song written in 1986 with the word 'fággot' in it atually meant the original meaning of the word?

    Come on, now. He calls her a slut then she calls him gay. The intention behind it is pretty damn clear especially for the 80's.

    The lyrics "Sinatra was swinging" and "cars as big as bars" seem to place the song in the late 1940s"

    Sure Peta will probably want it banned for using maggot as a disparaging term..

    Did anyone catch Tracy Clifford going off earlier? I only caught the end of it and she signed off with Snowflake Clifford and played Last Christmas. Did she stick up for this bellend?

    I don't care about any of this

    However I detest that crap song so much - I'll don my Machiavellian cloak and insist that I am gravely offended by such lyrics

    Yeah ban fairytale but continue to play rap songs that glorify gangsterism. That's the times we live in I suppose.

    Just listed back to Dire Straits Brothers in Arms this afternoon for the first time in years.

    From the 2nd track 'Money for nothing'

    'The little ****** with the ear ring and the makeup, yea that's his own hair'

    'The little ****** got his own jet airplane, the little ****** he's a millionaire'

    Oh the humanity

    McDermott had 2 women on this evening who were defending millennials who won't accept political incorrectness.. they did however did sign off by saying that no one has a right not to be offended. Eoghan obviously thinks different. What's next ban great films like American history x or boyz the hood. How can someone seriously get offended by a word.

    This ban was attempted 10 years ago on BBC Radio 1.

    F**k off McDermott and Byrne to your parents South Dublin houses.

    Now that my wife went behind my back and paid our TV licence, I demand that Eoghan McDermott shut up and play the song in full and up loud.

    Jesus - the world is changing by the hour and its a going in a shi€tty direction.

    I love Fairytale of New York, I love belting it out with friends when we’re in the pub. Not one of us is homophobic. It’s a line from a Christmas song FFS. I suspect there was no malice intended when it was written.

    Why no go out all out in the interest of gender balance they should consider changing the lyrics to “the men, women, transgendered people of NYPD choir still singing Galway Bay”?

    He really is insufferable. I started a thread on him about a month ago. I have to listen to him in work. He really is one of these people who goes out of his way to be politically correct. Trump bashing, feminist loving , transgender friend, homosexual campaigning. He does it all. All these things are good but when someone consistently does it to be cool it wears very thin.especially when it's done on the national airwaves (at no inconsiderable cost).

    I always thought in the context of this song only, that the word ****** referred to a near rancid or offensive piece of meat only fit for animal consumtion.

    In England in the 20's/ 30's(??) butchers used to sell minced up offal made into a type of meatball for dogs, but some less fortunate humans had to eat them also. For any dog owner out there they're the lumps of "beef" in gravy you find in a can of dog food nowadays.
