Anne Robinson

The TV presenter, who became known for her spiky interactions with contestants on BBC game show The Weakest Link, is concerned that the English language will be ‘mangled’ over a fear of offending people. ‘I have a chiropodist, a gay chiropodist – that’s not funny, I’m just telling you – lives with a gay partner, and they have adopted twins, and they have in the process, they have learned what I would call a lot of “woke” language,’ she explained to the PA News Agency.

When you look like the Primark answer to Elton John, your opinion is as valid as a fart in a wetsuit

I agree with Anne. It’s like a merry go round what we can and can’t say it’s hard to keep up and who is it that actually decides what is correct today and incorrect tomorrow. Barmy army springs to mind.

Choooops! 🙄 *waits patiently for kelechnekoff and ginayashere to enter the chat...

I agree with her wholeheartedly but tbf nothing gives me more pleasure than when someone tells me they're offended by what I've said because I can turn round and say 'That sounds like a 'You' problem'

There are some words/phrases that need to change but I will admit sometimes it is taken too far when some push for ridculcous levels of change

what? *send tweet*

Things a 76 year old would say…
