In an attack on traditional British culture, nursery rhythms that are not racist are now banned because they have alleged "historical racist intent".
"Five little monkeys", which has no lyrics about race, has been banned by the Scottish Book Trust "Bookbug" sessions held in council libraries. Though it is not the only rhyme banned, with "jump Jim Joe" and "Pebbles" also banned.
The Book Trust has in the past made authors appearing at events sign a "morality clause" saying that they won't make comments that could be seen as transphobic or bigoted, effectively creating politically correct censorship.
These public-funded bodies, which are supposed to promote and protect our culture, are now launching all-out attacks on our culture instead. The National Trust is a prime example of this.
We need to protect and promote our culture if these bodies won't. Join us in this work.
