Madness continues

You gammons are making this all up three stories today and it’s not 8 o’clock yet

If someone is offended by these phrases then they really shouldn't be out in society.

Seems a bit woke for the current cabinet. Are they doing this to Stoke their culture wars?

Further down the moron rabbit hole we are dragged

I have my own name for that lot,

All the norm within this nanny state we live in. A country influenced by left-wing journalists and the BBC who believe it was Adam & Adam not Adam & Eve and believe transsexuals are normal human beings. NHS? Let’s not start on immigration and over population in this country!

The term “ladies and gentlemen” refers to the two genders of the Homo sapiens sapiens species. There is nothing offensive in the language. Biological facts matter.

Being gender neutral has been the norm for a number of years within this type of sector.

This is pretty normal in most modern work environments. Just stop this culture war it’s gross.

Hello, my fellow human! 😀

What a nation we have become 🤦‍♂️

I'd be offended if someone failed to address me as a male using male pronouns.

Ladies and gentleman is offensive? What the actual fuck 🙄

Sorry but I find it incredibly offensive to have these ridicules new terms used when talking to me, please stick to good old traditional terms or I’ll report you to the police for hate crimes

Could be a difficult one for some Tory MPs, as they probably type words like 'man-power' and 'guys' into their favorite porn site search engine.

The irony of ‘synthetic’ and ‘artificial’ though….. 🤔😂😂
