The uk has bigger shit to worry about but why leave that part in....it's suspect.

[umilicious]

100% agreed. Everyone involved in this decision is trash. (And honestly, so is this “beloved” song.)

It reads as insanity

One of the biggest British Christmas songs includes the f-word?!

[babyyoda]

Yes, it’s from the 80s and it’s basically a couple reminiscing and fighting. Minus the word it’s actually a really good song imo but I love the pogues

[tailzz0666]

yeah it does but the dude that wrote it is vocal n it being censored now and that its notokay to use the word

[emptyobsidian]

oh boy, I love the excuse of its popular and everyone does it. We have that one in America too! Bonus points if someone describes it as a tradition.
