Didn’t someone say upthread that one of her sons really enjoys hearing his mum’s voice everywhere?

Last christmas I seem to remember one of them tweeted about telling Alexa to play FONY.

@EmpressLesbianInChair yeah I read an article recently that said they love that she lives on. The older son is Ellie Goulding’s manager and ones a chef. Sound really grounded and obviously well provided for by their mum & royalties

If love it to be banned especially when I'm in listening distance but it can be played all you like if I'm not around.

Version of fairytale of New York, not for the pearl clutches

Yes, but no faggots. So, it's fully acceptable. Wink

If people find the lyrics offensive they do not need to listen to the song.

The lyrics are not illegal ie they are not inciting hate against a particular group and there is a reasonable argument that they are in keeping with the character of the fictional singer.

I find lots of lyrics and songs offensive. I also find lots of what people say on social media and in real life offensive. But as I am not a wanna be dictator I respect the right to free speech.

Scary that so many others do not.
