Default BBC executives rule most offensive word in English language is 'a good joke'

Using the "N" word

In a scripted joke, radio presenter Sandi Toksvig said:
'It's the Tories who have put the "n" into cuts'
The BBC was at the centre of a new decency row last night after ruling
that the most offensive word in English is acceptable for broadcast.
The Corporation decided that the word – most abhorrent to women – has lost much
of its 'shock value' and is tolerable for radio and television.
An executive who cleared it for daytime transmission on flagship Radio 4 even said it would 'delight' many of its audience, who would 'love it’.
