Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat! You probably can’t even say that now can you? What if the fat geese are offended?
Bloody hell, what a bunch of snowflakes. That’s how it goes though, isn’t it?Anyway, as noted, the festive season is approaching, so it’s time once again to have an argument about whether or not saying the word ‘faggot’ in a pop song is appropriate in this day and age.
The answer is, it depends, context is everything, and you really shouldn’t get angry if people decide it’s not.Yeah, so, ‘The Fairytale Of New York’ by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl – the undisputed greatest Christmas song of all time – is in the news again due to its more unsavoury lyrics.
