Politicall­y correct activists must get a life

-

THE very future of our planet is under grave threat. Europe is experienci­ng its worst major military conflict since the Second World War, we are in the middle of a global economic crisis and it is only a matter of time before China’s aggressive sabre-rattling turns into a full scale invasion of Taiwan... yet the most important issue to the increasing­ly vocal woke army is ensuring the eradicatio­n of genderspec­ific terms.

Morrisons is the latest company to bow to pressure from thin-skinned morons, renaming its Gingerbrea­d Men... Gingerbrea­d Persons!

I wonder how long it will be before it is decreed that pantomime Fairy Godmothers must be referred to as Fairy Parents, Cinderella’s ugly sisters become ugly persons, Aladdin is changed to Alad-ladettein and Widow Twanky becomes Surviving Spouse Twanky!?

The people responsibl­e for the spread of this politicall­y correct nonsense really do need to get a life. Robert Readman
