It isn't me that's saying it, that's why it was phrased as a question.

I doubt very much anyone at Sky gave a moment’s thought about the use of the word “spook”. Bus seeing as you brought it up, do you propose to exclaim your surprise at every supermarket, magazine and tv channel that uses the word over the next week? Will Strictly Come Dancing be racist when it inevitably uses the word multiple times in next Saturday’s hallowe’en special?
If you really are triggered by this you must have totally freaked out when the BBC put Spooks back on the iPlayer. You should write in and see if they’ll put an “outdated social attitudes” warning on it.

The surprise that I referred to was that companies these days are terrified of being tarred with the R word and go to great, sometimes spurious, lengths to show how woke they are.

If this is being highlighted, it's a good thing surely.

...that's owned by an American company, most of whom are ultra woke these days, that's what i'm actually surprised about.
