enid blyton books were changed in the 70s to remove all the potential racist stuff
seems odd to whine about it 40 odd years later
plenty 60s editions of the books still kicking around.

The first thing people say about a dictatorship is they burn books
This is our equivalent.
The only thing that needs to be done is to add a page to the inside of these books saying
it reflects the ATTITUDES OF THE TIMES
I really don't think Enid Blyton ever corrupted anybody

Surprised that Blyton's case for Royal Mint recognition hasn't been pushed today by the highly-respected (well, amongst Lefty Progressives) "Trans" community. The 'Georgina' character in the Famous Five books identified as a boy as I remember it.
How come Blyton isn't being lauded for pushing the idea (to impressionable children) even decades ago that girls can actually be boys? This is, after all pretty much State School educational policy these dark days.

That is a long way from saying girls can be boys....
The more we push this rubbish, the more it tells me the Muslims will win...all they have to do is stay the same
Let children grow up naturally, make their own choices.
They were called 'tom boys' thenWe have always had them and always willThat is a long way from saying girls can be boys....The more we push this rubbish, the more it tells me the Muslims will win...all they have to do is stay the sameLet children gro
Indeed, George would have given you a black eye had you called her Georgina to her face, Alun!
Just stumbled across the RM story

I'm not usually on the side of the 'PC Brigade' but I can somewhat see their point here
"Once the three bold golliwogs, Golly, Woggie, and Ni**er, decided to go for a walk to Bumble-Bee Common. Golly wasn't quite ready so Woggie and Ni**er said they would start off without him, and Golly would catch them up as soon as he could. So off went Woggie and Ni**er, arm-in-arm, singing merrily their favourite song -- which, as you may guess, was Ten Little Ni**er Boys "

If she did it would have been acceptable at the time
Have you any ideas what our values will be in 100 years time?
Authors can only write for the time they are in.
They cannot foresee what future attitudes will be.
The best way of dealing with this is as they do on Talking Pictures TV
Put a note in the book saying the book reflected the attitude of the times.....

Very sad but nobody dares go against the grain nowadays. The things about liberals is that they aren't very liberalhttps://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/news/enid-blyton-coin-50p-royal-mint-racist-sexist-homophobic-famous-five-secret
The last time I read your jihadi John story I thought this guy won't be here long. Nice to see you've survived. A clear sign you can safely go ahead with the publishing.

It is all about shutting everyone up - silencing the majority - placing small groups of 'controlling' elements where they can be their most influential and noisy.
playing the cards to shut up any protest
much more of this to come

Enid Blyton was a great children's author and always will be
The fact the values of her times did not reflect todays values is hardly her fault
As regards the sexes, well her values make more sense than the looney tunes ones we have now in my opinion
Yes I agree there are forces at work in todays society which seek to harm us Moisok....but until people
see them as such we will to have to live with them
