Will these be next ?

Many Blippers will have read the news that there are new censored editions of the famous childrens books by Roald Dahl.
How many of us have enjoyed reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach to our grandchildren ?
Now 100 changes to the wording have been made to the new editions so as not to cause offence. The publishers have given way to pressure groups with extremist views.

What will be next ? When will there be pressure to publish new editions of Shakespeare. There is plenty in there to offend someone.

And when the new editions are published will there be pressure for us to burn the old ones ?

Its a slippery slope and I for one am with the well known literary figures who have said such censoreship is absurd.
