Apparently M&S have dropped the name 'Midget Gems' for fear of offending people with dwarfism.

I see a few people think that's very short sighted of M&S

Jay Tabb has so far stayed silent on the issue as far as I am aware.

I'm sure we are all a lot poorer for that, thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Vigilance like yours is vital in these days of Covid.

You're welcome. I'll let you know if Wine Gums come under attack to protect the feelings of alcoholics...

Corrupt governments (including our own) steamrolling towards fascism and oppressing human rights.

Yet you take the bait of the right wing press to be distracted by PC sweets.

The police are part of the corruption.

F**k ‘em.

But let’s be honest, when did anyone last use the term “midget” in any way but an insult?

The world evolves, embrace it. This has no bearing or affect on anyone’s life directly. If it raises language discussion and makes us be less insensitive then good.

You have got it bad, haven't you ?

An obscure decision made for what must be commercial reasons has you getting yourself over excited.

The reason. Well I expect it is another case of 'wokeism'. Yep, that's it. It will be banning blackcurrant juice next.

Thankfully you are here to monitor all this stuff - and to get upset for us all.

I was just answering your question. I presume in MGs case it was meant to be an affectionate name for a particularly small and nimble little car.

FWIW I couldn't give 2 hoots. Its a weird name for confectionary anyway for a start. I find it weird that this is deemed newsworthy, or that I'm spending my time on a Thursday afternoon talking about it.

Just wondering at what point I should whoooosh you.
For clarity, this wasn't meant to be an entirely serious debate. Sorry to have troubled you.

He’s only silent because they’re proposing calling them Tabby Gems. However, my tabby kitten Cuthbert is feeling offended, so this is under review.

This should have been banned as a serious assault on the lugs.




We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

I understand that the biscuit 'Hobnob' is to be renamed because the verb 'to hobnob' has class connotations.
It's going to be called instead 'Baldy Ham's Favourite'.

The centuries-old conflation of correctness with 'right' is deeply offensive to us left-handed people.

Even the Romans were at it.
