Who ever believed they would stop after taking down a few statues?

The rewrite efforts are only in its infancy.

Stop the communist memory-hole!

1984 by Orwell has literally become an operating manual for these communists.

"Yeah, hold on. Is there a Jablome here? Phone call for Heywood Jablome!"

They'll have to wipe "The Simpsons" completely out, not just edit a few scenes.

Is this really necessary? Cancelling Fleming’s books because they upset the Snowflakes, Millenniums, Zeros and fags? How many James Bond books do they sell each year. Are the busybody Azhos going to remake all the movies also? I know the Millenniums, Snowflakes and Zeros are all very sensitive testosterone free sissy boys who vote for minority women a lot but I don’t think this kind of “I want to change the world” bovine scatology is really necessary.

The Telegraph revealed that the word “n-----”, which Fleming used to refer to black people when he was writing during the '50s and '60s, has been ‘almost entirely expunged’ from the revised texts.

Just wait until the cancellers get around to rap music.

So, a James Bond novel is now going to be three pages long now?

“Next, they will claim Lincoln was a Democrat and used the same rationale.”

Unlikely. Given the current Democrat agreed upon scheme, it would make no sense for them to embrace Lincoln's avowed white supremacy aspirations.

The American Thinker isn't.

Wasn’t one of the secretaries’ named Holly Goodhead ??

Doctor Holly Goodhead. Not a secretary. And only in the film "Moonraker". Played by Lois Chiles.

I got another question — are they gonna cancel or revise the words in most rap music now? (especially gangsta rap ). If so, I support it.

First Roald Dahl, now Ian Fleming. Any bets on who’s next?

LOL, it will be chopped up like a Sopranos episode on PAX TV.

Gee, I wonder why the lefties want to ban “1984”?

All of the characters will be gay and black except for the white, hetero, male villain.

Not quite the same as book burning but getting close.

IMHO it is worse. When books are banned you know about it. When books are "re-edited" you generally don't know unless you can do a line be line comparison to an earlier edition.
