Wasn't Enid Blyton a bit racist too apparently? Loved those books as a kid.

I did too, and I remember my auld lad telling me she hated kids. Maybe he said yids, who knows?

Orwell didn't like the shirt lifters either.

Who gives a shit?

She was. And work "cleaning up" her children's books began in the 1980s.

A lot of the revisions were chucked as they didn't sell.

Damn I should have kept mine because my gran gave me hers and I'd say she had bought them way before the 80s.  Might be worth something now.

Haha! I have an Enid Blyton gollywogs book on the shelf. Don't tell or I'll be cancelled. I'd best just hide it behind Mein Kampf.

Loved a bit of Eynid when I was a kid too. Never picked up on anything except they were all a bit posh espically peter from the secret seven who deserved to get his head put through a wall.

Five find outers where her best group. Could have kicked the shit out of the famous five and secret seven at the same time.

It was the commies who shuffled you out in front of a camera, pointing guns at you until you apologised, not the free world.

Have to say, I am constantly bemused by the cognitive dissonance that must be at play every time you - a self-identified right-wing conservative, resident in what was a full-on right-wing conservative dictatorship until the late 70s - turn to the commies as your illustration of censorship!

Lads,  I can't keep up.  Who's winning, Commie Chris or the Mexican Fuhrer??

Che versus Pinochet!

1975 isn't technically the late 70's.

I was including transition; there wasn't an election until 1977.

Splitting hairs, your signature dish!

Not seeing the plank in your own eye, yours!
