No one takes any notice of that disgraceful liar.

....Good song too Baz....

Me too OGF! However, we both got through all that, made a decent living and survived to tell the tale! All good as far as I am concerned.

Getting silly?

It was incredibly stupid from the start.

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 .

The trouble here is that company's are giving in instead of telling them to bog off.
The people in general I would bet are not bothered one bit about these minor things.
I would certainly carry on singing songs I like to sing and as for buying rice or other produce if I like it I will buy it no matter what they are called Uncle Bens or Aunt Bessies don't make any difference to me.
Quite simply company's are weak and its about time they grew some.

The Americans are up in arms too about demands for a `black mamma` type image on one of their favourite brands of syrup to be removed. A decades old image that is known and loved throughout the country apparently.

Things are getting increasingly stupid.
