Surely gingerbread men are offensive to ginger people?

We can't call them men and we can't call them ginger. So, they are just bread?

Why not a woperson too ? It's surprising woman has escaped so far !

I wasn't offended last week. Why certain individuals suddenly take issue with something so innocuous is beyond pitiful.

c.p.w.g.w

Next queen cakes will be offensive...Better change them to homosexual cakes, to avoid offence

Fishermen will be the next word causing hurt.

Its all well and good for government to be at this nonsense, but the private sector cannot afford it...get woke go broke!

Mebuntu

It will never end because companies/organisations etc are terrified of "offending" anyone and don't have the guts or the common sense to tell these idiot women to just bog off.

That old adage about the lunatics taking over the asylum used to be just that, an adage. Now, it has become the reality.

Fairy cakes were renamed as the americanised cup cakes because they were felt to be offensive.

You ask about when PC nonsense will end - well this gender fluidity bollox I think will take a massive step back in 10/15 years when there is plenty of litigation cases from young adults suing parents/doctors for putting them on hormonal treatment when they were 5-10 years of age.

In fairness they were never men. They had no man bits. No female bits either. Are they gender fluid? Come to think of it, they have to be the least offensive thing on the planet.

Heard recently on radio, think it was ryan tubridy, that Woman has been changed by some shower of nutters as its offensive. Turbridy while trying to explain pronounced wymexen as best he could. LMAO

Earlier this year,when we had the snow.

Went for a walk, saw a Ginger Girl on a Sledge.

She said, "Can you pull me?"





I said, "Probably, but I'd have to be very, very drunk".

Well it was womxn a few weeks ago and now this, there will be something else in a few weeks no doubt.

Truly a paramount issue for the parliament...

When did we start heeding the words of the village idiot(s)? Social media and its echo chambering effects, and people are constantly listening... Christ.

When you have clowns like Roe McDermott allowed on the media in such an absolute rage with everything in life that she's (can I call her she without offending?) willing to get in to an argument with her own shadow over her choice of clothing you know the planet is fooked.

Woperson? Why not a woperdaughter?

What if the gingerbread man identifies as a kimberley or chocolate finger. Though chocolate fingers are probably offensive to amputees. The world is gone mad.

I agree. I was watching the BBC during the week and they went out to Theresa May's constituency and interviewed a white English middle class married couple in the local Conservative club's social rooms. Really weird to include such odd sorts in a broadcast about modern Britain...

Typical of the Scottish parliament. The next referendum in Scotland should not be about independence, it should be about dissolving that waste of money.

I am 99% sure the SNP think 1984 is an instruction manual not a novel.

Eh.. The bit on the BBC was about the views of Mays local Conservative club. Should she stay or go.

It would be a bit silly for them to ask the same question in the local Labour club.

The PC nonsense won't end rather it will get more and more insidious sadly.

I always called them buns, but that's probably because I'm Irish.

You lend them their 'authority'. Take it back when they then seek to abuse it. Ignore this garbage and plow your own furrow

The reports mention that it’s not known who ordered this - or in other words it wasn’t ordered and a single member of catering staff who wrote the label happened to use the word person, and the hyper right wing newspapers jumped on it.

But I don’t know when this PC nonsense will end, it does get tiresome how offended all these snowflakes get over every imagined piece of political correctness that they see.

The most ridiculous one recently was Paul Murphy wanting the words “pregnant woman” replaced by the word “pregnant person” in the abortion legislation.

You certainly won’t be short of snowflakes to built him/ her/ it with.

This 'PC nonsense' will continue until tablets and phones are able to run excel and Photoshop to an acceptable standard.

Shouldn't the plant be offended at people with orange hair appropriating its name?
