    Says everything about what the brand has become.
    The namby pambys might be offended, What about the sane people that are offended by this BS, like we don't matter ( I might go have a cry and hug my gollywog) . I wont buy Kraft cheese any more since they changed the name from Coon to Cheer. FFS . The world is going nuts.

    Its a Slave cylinder for ****s sake . I suppose they will change the Master cylinder too then because that implies Master & Slave .

    Run, run as fast as you can
    Your can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread............person????

    Doesn't rhyme and more.

    So will JLR sack you if you continue to call it a slave cylinder?? Have they changed all the parts manuals?? Does this directive go all the way down to your local dealer??

    For me I don't take part in any wokisms. Being "offended" is like deliberately stepping in dog ****. Step over it and move on.

    Do they still sell black cars, or is that also offensive? Idiots.

    The Ford Ranger will become the Ford Ginger, and no longer be available with a patronising red roof.

    Well, you know. Brother of my mate woke up this morning with a piece of paper on his windshield that pointed to the URL "tyreextinguishers.com". He's a 2x2 bloke that works has behind of to drive his pride and joy (camaro V8). If he ever sees them I think he might end up in jail.

    This world is getting crazy.

    A new form of old B/S

    This is not new.

    40 years ago, when I worked on the railways, a tradie told me he had seen a paper put out by the European authority that sets the labelling for signage and descriptions of all thing relevant, that they were considering changing the name of electrical components, called “Male “ and “Female” connectors to Positive and Negative connectors, because of all the complaints they were getting from feminist groups

    Some months later, the tradie told me that in their most recent paper on the name change, because they had received so many complaints from the same feminist groups about calling the “Female” connectors Negative connectors, that they have decided they will not be changing the labelling, “for now"
