Kimbers Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Poor little loves. Getting all upset over appropriate wording for a song about 19th Century Irish Immigrants in the States and being locked up in a drunk tank. BBC Radio 1 will not play the original version of Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl this Christmas, because its audience may be offended by some of the lyrics. The station said young listeners were particularly sensitive to derogatory terms for gender and sexuality. Quote Possibly save your life.

PaulCP Posted November 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Of course these listeners who are particularly sensitive to derogatory remarks and sexuality all have devices with no off button. If you don’t like it don’t listen, turn it off or switch channels. TBF it won’t affect me since I wouldn’t waste my time listening to Radio 1 but, whilst they are in the mood of not wanting to offend anyone, maybe they’ll get rid of that waste of space who is Jeremy Vine from Radio 2 since I find him offensive. Hence why once midday comes around I either change channels or turn him off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffers Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I actually think it is great that the BBC have done this because all these so called offended youngsters will now go and download the song to find out what they are missing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM C8RKH Posted November 19, 2020 Gold FFM Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 And yet they will play Rap music with liberal repeating of the "n" word as that word is obviously not offensive to anyone. I was going to say it is OK for someone of race to use that words it seems, but nobody else, but then I do recall quite a few Eminem songs that I am sure use the word. I think this just shows just how out of touch and pathetic we are, or is the BBC are just totally barmy and out of touch? Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh!

machine7 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Anyone else received an email to give your opinion of the BBC? Just completed mine. Think they got an average of below 3 out of 10.

machine7 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 The acknowledgement email you get after completing the survey... "Thanks for your submission to the BBC. For: Survey about the BBC We’ll keep it for up to 270 days – and if we don’t use it we’ll then delete it and any other information you sent us. We really appreciate your help to understand what you think and feel about the BBC." So @PaulCP, you're probably right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
