'Wokeism is a form of dictatorship... It says, as all dictators do, two things. One is "I am right everyone else is wrong" and two, if you attempt to express your view, you'll be punished. That's a hallmark of dictatorship, and it's a hallmark of wokeism.'
Frederick Forsyth CBE

Totally agree with Salman and Frederick. A piece of writing is a historical record indicative of the time it was written. By changing words we are changing history. In the future how can historians research the past when words have been changed? Ludicrous.

“Those who boggle at strong language are cowards, because it is real life which is shocking them, and weaklings like that are the very people who cause most harm to culture and character. They would like to see the nation grow up into a group of over-sensitive little people--masturbators of false culture...” ― Jaroslav Hašek, The Good Soldier Švejk

@@oliverclements5011 Very sorry, 'He wrote about maths without being boring' means the author was not boring. Likewise, 'He created... without being demographic' means the author was not demographic. Demographic man. Meaning? Maybe one can use the adjective 'demographic' that way in PC English, I don't know. Would, however, suggest it is as meaningless a statement as the PC 'The weather was challenging', which is a meaningless substitute for 'the weather was bad', 'bad' and other such microaggressive words (hard, difficult, harsh, awful, dreadful, etc.) having been cancelled in favour of 'challenging' as the only allowable word to cover anything that is not sweet and fluffy.

PG Wodehouse a brilliant comic writer who still makes people laugh over half a century later....... the Puritans banned everything in England under Oliver Cromwell 400 years ago, by time of his death people were so fed up that they re instated the monarchy under "Merry King Charles 11 " . We have to push back against this woke lunacy.

McDonald Frazer's book about his time in Burma during WW2,is quite revealing. He has some choice terminology with regard to the Japanese and his attitude towards them. He was obviously a well read man. The way he could insert Flashman so perfectly into very different periods of history, to my mind, was Genius. Lots of fodder there, for the woke brigade..... I rest with the thought that Flashman wouldn't give a Flying Fk!

I had a coat made in that colour back then. This was a normal everyday colour, such as green, blue etc. Why oh why can't we even say that colour now? A dark labrador would be called this colour because their fur represented that. No problem back then and as far as I am concerned, no problem now. I hear children are being taught to question their gender. I suggest this is a far worse crime than poor old colours as in shades.

So can we not ralk about or criticise L Ron Hubbard (scientology). What abouf saying things about Joseph Smith ( LDS or Mormons) Both these figures are regarded as prophets and the founders of there own religious follwers but both seem like con men at best. So when does blasphemous writing count as unprintable. What about bad words about cows. Where do we draw the line with blasphemy and who decides what religion gets that protection. Its slippery slope.
