    Is it really a PC thing, or is the name midget gems copyrighted?

    Dr Erin Pritchard, a lecturer in disability studies at Liverpool Hope University, argued the word midget was a form of hate speech.

    She needs to grow up a bit.

    Academia is infested with such types as her.

    Cosy in a Uni, incapable of getting a proper job

    I think this is more about the M&S marketing department than anything else. Did anyone know M&S had an own brand Midget Gem type product before yesterday? Now everyone does.

    Do you remember last year when they kicked up a fuss over Colin The Caterpilar and how Aldi were copying them? They issued some preliminary legal procedings, which again oroginated in the marketing department I suspect.

    If you want a bunch of free publicity, trigger 'the world has gone mad' nrigade or start a fight with a competitor.

    So how about The Millers sectioning off a row of seats where trans supporters can watch without risking abuse? Or accuse Wednesday of spying on our training from the top of Keppels column?

    Exactly, every supermarket has a caterplillar style cake. Aldi have been taking pee out of M&S adverts, so they suddenly take offence at a catterpillar cake (albiet it did look the most like colin).
