Marching On Together

This follows on from the recent announcement about Thomas the tank engine not being diverse enough and having to be more gender neutral.
It’s one thing after another, what next, will Mothercare have to be called “Appropriate adult care”.... it’s ridiculous.

That's because they live on pizza's, chips, crisps, biscuits, drinking bottles of pop & beer in pint glasses, sitting on their backsides watching daytime TV & can't be bothered losing weight when they have dropped their sprogs

I'm staggered when I see shoppers food trolleys out grocery shopping with Jill on a Sunday morning

Give me a break. It's twits with eff all else to do except foment ridiculous antagonism and stir up trouble that, outside of their self-important bubbles, doesn't exist because real people don't think in the same harebrained way.
