I had murder in Tescos today. I pointed out that calling the vegetables, 'vegetables' was derogatory, demeaning and disablist.
So the absolute idiot in charge asked me what we should call them instead.
'er - not fruity', i suggested
'whaat'
he rolled the sleeves up on his pink shirt
and thats when the fight started

Some academics have too much time on their hands and are desperate to get their work read they will say anything to get in the news.
A more sensible analysis of the findings is given by:
A horticulturalist and long-time Gardeners’ Question Time panellist Stefan Buczacki called the claims “utterly absurd.”Stefan was born in Derbyshire of an English mother and a Polish father and says the achievement of which he is proudest is to have been voted among the 100 people of Polish descent who have contributed most to the life and culture of Britain

So what is a plant such as Japanese Knotweed if not non-native? What should we call it? 'Immigrant Vegetation?' **** me even it's Latin name is not in English: Fallopia japonica. What should we call words like this that are not English? 'Bloody Foreign Gibberish?' *******
Mind you, NLyUK was on there the other week. She had something nasty growing in her front privett iirc.
