Pogues hit Fairytale Of New York branded 'chav bilge' and banned by BBC radio DJ

Fairytale Of New York was branded "chav bilge" by a BBC radio presenter, who said the song should be banned from the radio.

"'You're a slut on junk, you scumbag, cheap lousy faggot' - is this what we want our kids singing in the back of the car?Alongside the tweet he shared a photo of The Pogues' frontman, Shane MacGowan, missing his front teeth and looking rather dishevelled. They commented: "This was Alex's decision. There is no ban. We have a strict music policy that we expect to be followed."

Dyke's comments were met with backlash, with one person on Twitter writing: "Can we ban him instead? That will forever be a classic, he will be forgotten in days."

I'm sure Shane McGowan is really upset.
