Nanny Bans Mother and Father

 

Nanny's chums in Oxfam have decreed that "mother" and "father" are offensive words, and as such has banned them.

Oxfam has urged staff to avoid the terms “mother” and “father” and instead use “parent” following the publication of its Inclusive Language Guide.

Other banned words include "headquarters" (apparently it smacks of power).

Oxfam can stick its Newspeak guide up its arse!

Kindle Censors What You Read

 

This is why you don't want to read books using the Kindle model. Ultimately a company controls what you read and can rewrite history in real time. https://t.co/QujopiCN88

Dahl Classic vs Dahl "Lite"

 

Puffin UK has announced they are to release Roald Dahl books without any changes, following major criticism.

The publishers decision to amend the language used in the classic children’s author’s books was universally slammed by all and sundry.

The latest editions were to be edited to remove potentially offensive language.

The classic collection will sit alongside the newly-released Roald Dahl books for young readers, which have been rewritten to cater for the sensitivities of modern audiences.

In other words Puffin has pulled a marketing sleight of hand, by offering two versions of the same book.

Prats of The Week - The Church of England

 

Seemingly Church of England bishops are to debate whether God should be gender neutral - even dropping “our Father” from the Lord's Prayer. 

To quote something, someone once allegedly said:

Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing!
