As I’ve pointed out many times (and you didn’t take a blind bit of notice!), the world is getting crazier every day.
Long-held attitudes, thoughts and opinions that shaped who we are and kept our lives in some semblance of common sense order for decades are now regularly questioned by individuals we’ve never heard of before.
Having scoured their back gardens looking for bees, they stick one in their bonnets and can’t wait to complain about it.
At the same time, they tell the rest of us we’re all wrong for being out of step with their opinions.
Somehow, they’re allowed a spot on the TV news or current affairs programme to announce that they’re ‘offended’ by something that no-one has ever been offended by before in the history of the worldand demand that “Something must be done about it!”
Of course, the rest of us aren’t allowed to demand ‘Something must be done about them’, like, they shouldn’t be allowed within two miles of a TV or radio studio or a newspaper reporter who’s looking for a ‘controversial’ opinion piece, eagerly licking his pencil ready to jot down their idiotic ideas in his beer-stained notebook.
Just the other day, an extremely articulate woman was given 10 minutes of TV airtime to complain that MEN AT WORK road signs are sexistand out of place in a modern society where men and women should be accepted as equals.
I’ve always accepted that women are equal to men.
Indeed. in many aspects they’re superior.
But, on the rare occasion I’ve seen evidence of men actually at workon the motorway behind MEN AT WORK signs, there was even less evidence that women were digging up the tarmac alongside them.
I’m hoping to be on the telly soon . . .
If I can find something that offends me by then . . .
