Well, he used to in the nursery rhyme my parents taught me and I, in turn, my children and grandchildren. No more: the Oxford University Press has banned the use of “pig”, “pork”, “sausage” or any other word that could cause offence to Muslims and Jews. It’s as plain as a pig on a sofa that the latter category was thrown in as a decoy.
From here:
The Oxford University Press has warned its writers not to mention pigs, sausages or pork-related words in children’s books, in an apparent bid to avoid offending Jews and Muslims.
The existence of the publisher’s guidelines emerged after a radio discussion on free speech in the wake of the Paris attacks.
Is this some sort of early April Fools Day joke? If it isn’t . . . it is certainly one of the most grovelling, stupid, cowardly, self-imposed pieces of sharia nonsense I have seen! Especially after the recent events in France. When will this politically correct bs of rolling over, even before being asked, stop? We can’t even write about pigs now “it might offend”. Sheesh. I don’t think that the jihadis need any help from weak willed leftists making rules on their behalf, nor should they get any. And if they do . . . the rest of us don’t appreciate it . . . as in this case. Enough already. Oxford University Press you should be ashamed.
Oink , Oink!
Or else, “I’ll huff and I’ll puff, and I’l blow your house down…” ?
So does this mean that I may not sing about ‘this little piggy’ to my grandchildren? Do we all go to jail? More pandering.
