So the BBC are not going to play the original version on the radio for fear of upsetting the woke sensitivities of the snowflake generation.

She'd probably want to hit them with her pogue-o stick ;)
Not playing it at all would be preferable!
Actually its only radio 1 who are censoring it, supposedly because of the younger listeners. Radio 2 will play the unexpurgated version if it really bothers you.
The woke snowflake generation is a right wing media concoction to pander to people who don't realise society's attitudes and norms change.

Presume objections are being made to the words ‘faggot’ and ‘****’...weird to me, but Swale seems to have given it a more accurate perspective.

this could be the malign influence of the south derbyshire offal butchers association at work
It may be a media title for that changed generation for sure, but the existence of the expression means precisely that people clearly do realise attitudes and norms are changing. if they werent changing, then there would be no need for the (potentially disparaging) expression for the generation
[QUOTE=ramAnag;39626215][QUOTE=Andy_Faber;39626201]Adi has it right it’s a shock awful songI think he’s got it totally wrong, the hurt feelings of the over sensitive minority amplified by a media looking to justify their existence.Quote:
