BBC P.C. bull****e

[Cymraeg]

Despite playing it for 20 years , the BBC will now beep the words "faggot" and "slut" from the Pogues/Kirsty McColl hit "Fairytale of New York" in case they cause offence.
Are they going to apologise for playing it uncensored for all this time?

What about other hits? "Stop the Cavalry" by Jona Louie may offend war veterans for a start.
"Mary's Boy Child" by Boney M may offend non-christians

I could go on but I'll leave it to you lot.

Our council has not put up the illuminated 'Merry Christmas' sign in the town centre for fear of offending muslims. We're in an English Town in England why can't we say Merry Christmas?

The highlighted part of the quote is not actually true - it is only Radio 1 that have edited it. Radio 2 played it several times today without the edit.

Funny that after 20 years they don't find "Happy Christmas my arse" offensive!

Deck The Halls (Politically Correct Version)

(Sung to the tune "Deck The Halls")

Deck the halls with boughs of non-endangered plant species
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Tis the season to be self-actualizing,
Fo lo lo lo lo, lo lo lo lo
Don we now our alternate-lifestyle apparel
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Toll the ancient non-sectarian-winter-solstice-equal opportunity holiday carol
Fo lo lo lo lo, lo lo lo lo


See the blazing log of non-sectarian-winter-solstice-holiday-non-endangered wood before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Play the harp without unnecessary brutality and join the new paradigm chorus
Fo lo lo lo lo, lo lo lo lo
Sing we emotionally stable in a collective group effort,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Heedless of the weather patterns despite the effects of El Niño,
Fo lo lo lo lo, lo lo lo lo


Fast away the mature year passes
Fa la la la la la la la la
Hail the new year without any implicit ageism, ye persons
Fo lo lo lo lo, lo lo lo lo
Dance in a non-hierarchical manner in merry esoteric measure,
Fa la la la la la la la la
While I tell of non-materialistic, non-sectarian-winter-solstice-holiday treasure,

Fo lo lo lo lo, lo lo lo lo

[jowalshy]

Merry Christmas to you to RP and to everyone else.

I hope you all have a good one

Could very well be, in fact I think it most definitely is lol.

It's political correctness gone too far!! especially now, I heard this week that the kids Nativity play has been threatened.

It's mad I tell you, totally MAD.

Looks like they have had a change of heart - Newsnight reported that they had reversed the decision.

Political Correctness CR*P

Whatever happened to good old fashioned COMMON SENSE
