BBC Radio 1 has said it will stand by its ban on the word "faggot" from the Pogues' 1987 Christmas hit
Fairytale of New York to avoid offence.
The word, sung by the late Kirsty MacColl as she trades insults with Shane MacGowan, has been dubbed out.
But MacColl's mother, Jean, called the ban "too ridiculous", while the Pogues said they found it "amusing".
The BBC said: "We are playing an edited version because some members of the audience might find it offensive."
