BBC have ditched the word Fisherman ...

[SussexFamily]

... and replaced it with Fisher People... in an interview Katya Adler refers to Fisher people.

Where will this woke nonsense end?

Thoughts?

Sounds like magical folk in a fairy tale. In fact I prefer Fisher folk.

With the world as it is just now you would think there would be much more urgent things to be worrying about. The world has gone mad !

I don't mean on here but life in general - are we allowed an opinion any more?

Whatever we say as we go about our business somebody will say they are offended or put out by an expression or word or deed that we do. My view and I caution that I don't mean being rude etc is tough.

Seems like every week there's another gender fluid, politically correct rewording to avoid offending some people, now don't get me wrong some I understand and get but fishermen to Fisher people it sounds like a cbeebies kiddies TV program.

[Megandllsmum]

Watching GMB now and piers Morgan having his daily woke attack and he's currently talking to a Fisher person who is female and doesn't mind being called a fisherman... Plus she says she thinks there are 6 yep 6 fishermen that are women in the country and although she cannot speak for them gives the impression none of em give a flying fish

[Mr Tom Morrow]

Fisher People.

Well what about Fisher Price!

Great point Tom. Recent personal experience shows we aren’t apparently. All very sad and spiteful.
