A student newspaper editor has been accused of being a 'snowflake' after calling for the word 'faggot' to be bleeped out of Christmas classic Fairytale of New York. London-based Tom Haynes, assistant editor of student paper The Tab, has split social media over his opinion piece on The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's festive hit. Predictably, the article attracted dozens of vitriolic comments, some of them homophobic, other pointing out that the word 'faggot' has multiple meanings. Stop being the epitome of a millenial snowflake faggot.' It literally does not harm you or affect your life by removing one word from your vocabulary or omitting that word from the song.
