I `ad that Trevor Munnings in my cab the other day. `e set `im self up as a "filter consultant". That`s a bloke `oo reviews written works with a view to finding tenuous connections with all sorts of `istorical and cultural no-no`s. While `e was in the cab `e was thumbing `is way through an enormous tome.
I said, "Morning Trev. Where to?"
`e said, "Could you drop me off at Penguin Books `eadquarters please"
I said, "You gonna buy another book then?"
`e said, "No. I`m just presenting this book of their folk songs with "trigger warnings" I`ve been contracted to do."
I said, "Trigger warnings"?? Is it all about guns then?"
`e said, "No. They are little notices applied to the works to advise the reader, `e or she, that they may get upset if they read the works that contain references to race, slaves, colonialism, poverty, etc., etc."
I said, "Blimey, if you apply that to folk songs you`ve got a job for life"
`e said, "Exactly Jim. Let your imagination go wild. Nice little earner!!"


Whaddam I Like??
