Ruth Jones and the BBC defend Gavin and Stacey stars singing homophobic slur

RUTH Jones has defended the use of the word "faggot" in the upcoming Christmas special of Gavin and Stacey.

The festive special sees her character, Nessa, and Uncle Bryn , sing a rendition of The Pogues’ Fairytale Of New York. Gay rights campaigners said the word was "pejorative" to the LGBT community and that the BBC should bleep it out. "Characters in Gavin & Stacey are kind and big-hearted, I believe. So I think no one is going to be intentionally hurtful.

It's a fucking song ... god let's just laugh a little

If people are offended by this they ought to stay at home & not ever watch TV, listen to radio or have a conversation. It will give the rest of us a break from your political correctness. Why ruin it for rest of us

Ladies and Gentlemen, journalism 2019 ffs

For God's sake for once let's just enjoy a bit of humour no sorry no judging just let us laugh
