Just when you thought it simply could not get worse Stonewall (some influential LGBT outfit - wot?) which apparently receives lots of our money and has a significant input to the Government on “equality” matters has advised that the word “Mother” should be replaced by “Parent who has given birth”! Just what planet are these people on, who comes up with this for heaven’s sake? Where does it all stop? Just think of the chaos that will ensue - even as I write Greetings Card manufacturers are throwing themselves on their letter-openers; americans are wracking their brains for another term of endearment; no-one will have a “mother” - which confirms a lot in some instances; “trendy” C of E types are re-writing the Lord’s Prayer - “Our parent who has not given birth.....”. Stop the world - I really do want to get off.
Mum! Oh Parent who has given birth...........
