WTF.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-54999375

Offended on behalf of being offended now

Same as 'implied' sexism racism & all the other trendy terms

They all stem from women & students

Never just what it is, its always '& what's supposed to mean scenario' 

Or 'I know what you meant' 

I never said that ' Oh but you meant it though'

The slanging match lyrics are integral to this fantastic track.

They're viewed differently now, yes, quite rightly too, but refusing to play the original version is counterproductive.

Brainsless!

Its crazy and before anyone says it, I'm not homophobic, just ask my boyfriend.

It reminds me of when Money for Nothing was banned for the line "That little faggot he's a millionaire".

Solution, Knopfler replaced little faggot with Mother fucker. Problem solved. I know which phrase I find more offensive.

It should be banned outright.

Not because it’s offensive or anything. I just think it’s shit.

I was called lanky last week, which I haven't been called for years. Is this derogatory? I've been a Paddy, a Mick, a Brummie etc, etc.
The propensity to look for offence is bizarre!
I, I'm in corporate communications, had to look after a high profile client who got attacked on Twitter this week for saying people in his profession should look smart, with polished shoes and a haircut. Cue scruffy lesbians etc giving him abuse AOTS!
The world's gone Tom!

It's a brilliant song Duffers, as is much of the Pogues stuff. However, the popularity of it and the masses clinging to it has put many off- the same is also true of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Take Elvis Costello track Oliver's Army

Brilliant tune contains the line 'one less n"gger (or words to that effect)

Absolute & the like cut it out

Whereas stations like Union Jack & All Oldies Radio still keep it in

Cue other stations & their love of Drill music you will consistently hear about bitches guns & n*ggars 

Which I find offensive

Freedom of speech seems to go one way in the UK

You either agree with Millie Tant or your labelled as an 'ist & accused of an 'ism

Which other stations? Whenever I hear a track that includes the words you've mentioned above they are edited out. We have quite strict rules on broadcasting in this country
