Quote from: Blue Jam on January 13, 2022, 07:48:13 PMIs the name "sausage dog" problematic? They do have doggie achondroplasia after all. They also aren't sausages, their meat is not reconstituted.

*insert your own Alan Johnson quote here*

Siamese cats.

They're mined by slaves and used to fund the brutal conflict between Bertie Bassett and the Caramel Bunny.

Are the M&S ones not Fairtrade these days?

Are Minstrels still OK? My Finnish friend says they have some sweets there which are basically called Liquorice N-words, so Great British sweets are all relatively fine.

I really hoped that after Brexit they'd start making Minstrels like what they used to be before everything went woke, with white chocolate underneath.

You still see tête-de-nègre in France sometimes. A year or so ago I noticed the supermarket ones were called tête au chocolat on the individual packages but the box they were put out from still said tête-de-nègre.

How about Dwarf Gems instead? Make one gem the Arkenstone, with which one can wield ultimate power and truly unite the Dwarven race.

If they're the sweets I'm thinking of, they were called N*****'s Kisses and they were renamed to Kisses some time ago.

You're thinking of Vice Versas, I think.  Before we joined the EU they were called Coconut Boys.

Link sausages should be banned because frankly they're just rude. Was Lorne sausage invented by a Puritan? I bet it was. Square is as square does.
They are sweet, if evil. If Jose Mourinho was a dog, he would be a dachshund.

I just looked up when the BBC stopped making The Black and White Minstrel Show - 1978. But I'm sure I remember it being on TV after that, late at night - repeats maybe? Not that I watched, more changed to another channel rapidly in revulsion...

I think there was also a Finnish or German brand of licorice that is shaped like little heads and came in a package with a white sea captain on the front.

Fishermen's Friends were, until very recently, known as Gypsy Clunges.

and this is "news" because it's "political correctness gone mad" culture war bullshit. "An ACADEMIC" made a fuss and now a retailer is changing the name of a beloved sweetie, WILL IT NEVER END

I personally love that a company can advertise products under the guise of news.  It is a good thing.

I've still not forgiven the EU for making us change Opal Fruits to Vauxhall Fruits.

He did a bunch of McDonalds pushing "news" stories for the Sun a while ago. Did you know McDonalds food is healthier than you think it is?

Double standards in the confectionery industry as, at the time of writing, Cadbury's Dairy Milk Giant Buttons remain on sale.

I understand that Revels were originally to be marketed as Rabbit Tods®.

What about jelly babies which could be offensive to people whose babies came out made of jelly.

Gonna start stocking up on Black Jacks before the wokes take them.

I don't think Aled Jones has committed the level of crimes against decency that Cheese Nonce James has.
