The original classic will not be played on BBC this year because the lyrics might upset some people. They’re playing a sanitized version with some words changed/removed I despair I really do

Yeah it looks like it's just to protect the 'kids' who listen to Radio 1! To be fair, I've never heard the 16-25 demographic swear so to save their delicate ears from 'faggots' and 'sluts' seems the only move

Quote from that article " Last year, BBC Radio Solent DJ Andy Dyke announced he was banning Fairytale of New York from his show, calling it “a nasty, nasty song”." I wonder how long it will be before Andy himself gets censored until he changes his name

What about: "I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus", by Jimmy Boyd. Very questionable morality. Should be banned.
"Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus underneath his beard so snowy white What a laugh it would have been If daddy had only seen Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night."

And I'm not sure if we can go anywhere near Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Christmas".!
"It's good to see friends I know Kissing under the mistletoe I love to hear the children sing It looks like Santa's gonna bring
. . . . . . Presents hanging from the tree You'll never guess what you've got from me" .

Separately sting warns around $2000 per day I believe for every breath you take. Most of that money is earned because puff daddy stole the riff Andrew ridge my earns around £25k annually from last Christmas

The first two or three seconds of it are usually a prelude to my saying “and you can turn that crap off too”.
I then proceed to tell them they drive too close to the edge of the road, they drive too close to the middle of the road, too fast, too slow and hesitant, too heavy on the accelerator, too close to the car in front, and many other faults they seem to have picked up since the days I taught them to drive.

I prefer the Chubby Brown version: "I saw Mummy licking Santa's knob...!"

Dear Oatcake Fanzine,
As a regular reader of your threads I feel that I must complain most strongly, . . . . and as often as possible.
Yours Sincerely,

Its getting very silly now across all tv companies. Travel presenter in a wheelchair having to be lowered into a boat with a block and tackle . One of these⁰ homes abroad shows where the presenter again in a wheelchair cant get upstairs to show the apartment to the buyers . Watched dumbo with my kids on friday one of Disneys great movies from 1941 . As with lots of old movies sky now issue an apology for any offence caused because because of inappropriate content and racial stereotypes . A panelists on question time who couldnt speak properly i couldn't really understand her . All Christmas TV adverts ive seen features mixed race families. Im all for inclusiveness in society but it has to make sense otherwise its just tokenism and demeaning to those people

Slightly unrelated, but let us not forget that Kirsty McaColl paid the ultimate price for saving her little boy from certain death. We'd all do it but heck... what a woman!
