No more slave cylinders to be used on Land Rovers. Wokeism at its best….

Woke Jaguar Land Rover bosses ban the word 'slave'

Staff at the car giant's plant in Solihull near Birmingham (pictured) will now have to use the word 'surrogates' when referring to parts used in their vehicles.

They can call them what they want, it won't stop me referring to them as "master & slave".

The day that they do, is the day that they win.

Regardless of people's views on things like this, changes to words and phrases we use that do or could cause offence will continue. Actually it happens all the time, words and phrases fall out (and sometimes back in!) of fashion. Some I agree with, some I don't. However for my own mental health and stress levels, I try my best to just let it go cause it's happening whether we like it or not. A bit like estate agents gradually not using the phrase 'master bedroom' due to the origins of that phrase.

Mercifully, wokeism hasn't reached the Czech Republic yet. Could open a whole new can of worms. Couple of snaps from my travels. ('Dárky' means gifts.)

It's not reached EL Negrito pharmacy in Tenerife either.
That's the name of the shop and that's what's inside it.
That's also what Nelson Piquet called Sir Lewis, although he did it in Portuguese, (el negrinho) the meaning is exactly the same and is not used an insult in these countries.

Out my front the other evening doing g my Garden and a beer with my neighbour.

A Somalian fella walked up and asked for some water ever so politely for his car radiator.


Thanks Boss he said... come back for another . Please Boss he said again. Not in a horrible way I said don't call me Boss...


I've had it before from black men..... I'm not a slave trader so don't call me Boss.

If the slave that complained about the use of these 2 words makes his/herself known then we can apologize directly to them.
Until then, master and slave cylinders they will remain
