Non-starter

-

I am totally fed up with the changes that are happening to society, where there seems to be a band of profession­al offence takers making trivial complaints and organisati­ons being scared of them and bowing the knee to political correctnes­s. this seems to be pervading 21stcentur­y life.

A recent example of this is that BBC2’S University Challenge TV programme has decided to change its questions to make sure they are gender neutral. this is because one person has complained that the answers are skewed towards men. What utter nonsense.

Knowledge and academic achievemen­t are not limited to a specific gender. A quiz is a quiz and people need to get over themselves, grow up and get a life!
