They've taken out all the really rude words, like "Faggot".

Heaven knows what they'd do to a chippy in the Midlands - I fear for my Friday night Faggot 'n' peas.

They've only done it because stupid people will complain if they hear it.

If noone complained, they wouldn't do it, so I blame the stupid public (i.e. the sort of people who bitch about TV being "faked"), not Radio 1.

Not only is it "political correctness" gone mad again, but It would seem somewhat distasteful for the BBC to anounce this on the Anniversary of Kirsty Macolls death.
