"One favours censoring, the other outright not playing it. Neither like it. Simples",https://twitter.com/eoghanmcdermo/status/1070955937370988545 Many agreed with this argument and acknowledged that, while curse words or other words such as 'n****r' are bleeped out in songs, maybe that should also be the case with 'faggot.' However, a whole host of others argued that this is just another case of folks looking to be offended by something. In the end, Shane McGowan was forced to issue a statement with a furore erupting and he clarified the purpose and the reason for the lyric in his song.
"She is a woman of a certain generation at a certain time in history and she is down on her luck and desperate. Her dialogue is as accurate as I could make it but she is not intended to offend," he said to Virgin Media.https://twitter.com/TonightVMT/status/1070820500950171648 Openly gay international rugby referee Nigel Owens has weighed in on the subject and he feels that the uproar is just another sign of the world going PC mad.
"Seriously now if we dont stand up to this stupidity then society is broken. The world has gone PC mad. If your so easliy offended by something then dont bloody listen to it and switch it off or change channels. I will be listening to this song every day now," he tweeted.https://twitter.com/Nigelrefowens/status/1071338555291721729 And he urged those like-minded to stop listening to any station that opts to censor the famous song. https://twitter.com/Nigelrefowens/status/1071340408549109760
