How about a awarding a tube of Smarties to the MOM?

Unless, of course, there's a minority of weirdos who are easily offended by the sight of a tube of Smarties?

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.......Or, go back home, simple.

I hate this modern fad of having the majority bending over backwards, just to accommodate a minority of people alien to our culture.

hardly means anything anyway to give a bootle of champers to a millionaire. However, it is a traditional thing.

This is the PL though, not anything being enforced upon them.

Have any of you read the article?

It's two paragraphs, the first of which changes the 'consider' (in the headline) to 'considered', and then says they're not going to change it. No name for the source, no nothing.

The biggest pointless non-article ever (it's less than 50 words long ffs), and all done to rile people up. Which it did.

Winds some up, thinking that it's PC gone mad when it's nothing of the sort, and winds the rest of us up, because it's loathsome and divisive 'journalism'. We're all being played.
