It’s all getting a bit silly ...

What with talk about banning Swing high Sweet Chariot at football matches ..,, and now it’s goodbye Uncle Ben on rice packets .
There are so many opportunities for offence taking and even more for virtue signalling .
I wonder if this country will ever get off its knees .

Nobody outraged over the forced Labour and slavery when building the new football stadiums for the world Cup in Qatar though.

These are a minority of people ... best ignored

Re: It’s all getting a bit silly ...

It was the highlight of my life, after saving up ten Gollies then waiting for the rattle of the letterbox with a brand new sports playing enamel golliwog......I believe I collected a Golfer, a Tennis Player, and a Cricketer....There might have been more but I've slept since then....

From an ex-Labour MP: TBH had not noticed, how sad that individuals are likely to trawl through everything in order to make ludicrous connection to racism. A cereal packet for pity's sake.
