The language used in the work of writer Roald Dahl has been changed to remove anything that my be deemed offensive. The publisher of Dahl’s work, Puffin books has removed words like “fat” to describe characters and gender neutral terms are also now being used.
The changes which were first reported by the Telegraph have been met with scrutiny. Author Salman Rushdie branded the move 'absurd censorship', with even the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemning the changes by saying works of fiction should be "preserved and not airbrushed".
