To believe “wind the bobbin up” is inappropriate and to ask my child’s Nursery not to sing it.

[coconuttella]

Wind the bobbin up originated in the cotton mill towns of the north of England in Victorian times. As anyone who knows a bit about a bit history can tell you, the cotton mills were horrendous places which horrifically exploited women and children, forcing them to do dangerous work in appalling conditions for little pay.

How can it be right to trivialise these horrors by getting children to sing a light-hearted ditty about it... It’s offensive to the memory of all those who suffered these horrendous conditions and experienced serious injury or even death as a result of hideously exploitative working practices.

No.

She gave them some broth without any bread, then whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed.

Bitch

But that old bus still has those goddamn wheels

They go round and round.

I think there are far more important things to worry about

"...There I met an old man who wouldn't say his prayers,
So I took by the left leg and threw him down the stairs."

My DD loved that.

Even though we counted to five that poor old fish is still alive

I feel awfully for the bear that went over the mountain. That’s very deep, man...

Parsley Sage Rosemary and Thyme

The Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash version of that makes me cry. No really, it’s that bad!

I worry about the five little ducks that went swimming one day, what happened in the meantime untill mummy duck said quack ,quack,quack(for the last time)And they all came swimming back??

I'm offended by Ring O Rosie's because some of my ancestors probably died of the plague.
The arachnophobia pandemic currently sweeping the country across classrooms of children is horrifying. Little Miss Muffet has a lot to answer for.
Wee willie winkie should be a definite no no. Tapping at windows and checking locks in his nightgown to see if children are in their beds? Paedophile at best!

Five fat sausages is far too offensive for vegans.
Every single nursery rhyme will be offensive to someone. O/P surely has to be a troll. Ive never heard anything so ridiculous.

Try reading the thread then Miss ?

Seesaw Marjory door,
Jacky shall have a new master,
He shall earn but a penny a day
Because he can't work any faster.

You're right, op. British history and culture should be erased. It's grim.
...

Fgs, this PC nonsense is getting a tad bit overboard.

Point to the ceiling...

Point to the troll...

Head/Brick wall x2boys.

It's quite remarkable.

Read this earlier and its just popped up my facebook through manchester evening news. Given me a good laugh at the indignant posts on there baying for op's blood

She’s put the cat amongst the pigeons.

OP you have really cheered me up. It’s in the manchester evening news! Everybody is talking about pc gone mad!! I’m just 😂 it has got to be on the Wright stuff and in the daily mail tomorrow! It will literally make my year!!

Are you joking?

I'm more concerned about

"Hush a by Baby
On the Tree Top,
When the Wind blows
The Cradle will rock
When the Bough breaks
The Cradle will fall,
Down tumbles Baby,
Cradle and all...."

But please be aware, toddlers have no f'ing clue what you're on about! You do know that, right?

I did find this thread a little funny.

Now I find the self-righteous twats with their inability to read before posting their unoriginal right-wing rants really depressing.
There's so many of them.

Yes Mother op is joking she said that on page three if you could be arsed rtft

British history and culture should be erased. It's grim.
Fgs, this PC nonsense is getting a tad bit overboard.

all the brexiteers wetting their Union Jack pants.

My comment about the five ducks was tongue in cheek Sum ? I have actually read the thread .
