oops - I stand corrected.... I wrongly assumed 'they' were similar / the same car(s) as , (if memory serves- it was 30 years or so ago that I lived in that area of Abingdon), the old pub sign of the Midget? or maybe it was a mural/ big picture on the wall inside the Midget depicting an 'early' MG (midget) racing car in full flow?

Well done Essex on finding some loonie lefty doing something loonie and lefty.
Good job they’re not running the country.

How do you know this academic is a loonie? Or a leftie? Or is that just a knee-jerk reaction to something you disagree with?

Not that I think it's necessarily a sensible thing to do, mind.

What it a "Midget Gem" - a small version of a wine gum.

The end.

Or should we ban all words someone doesn`t like?

But why does it matter if they’ve changed a name of a sweet? Why does it affect, worry, bother, stress, upset you? If they changed, say, the name of Maltesers to something else for literally any reason I wouldn’t give the tiniest, tiniest flying f**k

It's the "why" they changed it.

Midget Gem as a name of a sweet is not offensive.

Abusing a disability is.

The two are not connected unless you are a word fascist.

In other word fascism news, Rev Richard Coles has been censored for discussing "faggots and peas" in a Black Country discussion. 🤷‍♀️

Context - a word some need to learn.

You were born too late. You would have loved being old and ignorant in the 70s.

Ok. But there are worse things going on in the world! If changing the name of a sweet makes a few people feel better then… where’s the harm?
