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!

Councils Curtailing Freedom of Movement

15 minute cities. Bath the latest council to put up road blocks in the name of climate.

‘You’ll go nowhere and be happy’

Who do these councillors think they are. Surely this can’t be legal? #15minutecities #ClimateScam pic.twitter.com/FgZePHusEP

Prats of The Week - Haringey Council

 

For reasons best known to itself, Nanny's chums from Haringey Council spent £180,000 on changing the name of Black Boy Lane to La Rose Lane. 

Despite the feigned offence at the name, the council left the name on the new road sign.

Unsurprisingly it has been corrected, and people living in the street have put up their own Black Boy Lane signs in their windows.

Haringey Council, well deserving Prats of The Week!
