Ian Fleming’s original James Bond novels have been “rewritten” to remove racist remarks ahead of a coming re-release, The Telegraph has reported.
Ahead of a coming re-release to mark the 70th anniversary since the release of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale novel, the first in the James Bond series, the publication reports that the works have been “rewritten” to appease woke sensibilities. The revelation comes after a week of controversy surrounding recent reprints of Roald Dahl’s books, with it being revealed that the works of fiction have been edited in order to change or remove language deemed problematic.

It must not be very hard to come up with new ways to lose money.

Enough. I suppose they’ll eliminate Pussy Galore from Goldfinger, too.

If I’m with the Fleming estate, I sue—now. Just like with the Dahl nonsense, if you are a family member of the writers, SUE!

All of English literature including the Bible, Shakespeare, Tennyson and Wordsworth are subject to this.

Bet they really hated To Live and Let Die with all its black villains and the way blacks were portrayed in general.
The black gangsta/dictator Katanga.
The black one armed enforcer.
The black voodoo priest and all the voodoo scenes.
The times are a'changin but not for the better. It's all entitlement and preferential treatment. A virtual paradise for all the dumb dishonest people out there.
Wait until it all implodes.

At least when they cut all the movies and shows to pieces twenty years ago, they were smart enough not to tell us. We just looked up and saw twenty seven minute old shows sitting at eighteen minutes for "more ads" they told us.
By the time every offended woker gets to decide content there isn't very much left.

In response to that semi-literate diatribe against Kipling, I’d just say he called them as he saw them.

I wish these people would grow up. I love the fact that moron's on some committee think that they know bitter much less that they can improve popular or on the classic literature. None of the words they they decide are "problematic" could possibly "hurt" anyone. Reading a story in the context of the time it was written gives us a glimpse into that era, good or bad. Are these people too stupid to understand that anyone who is reading a Bond novel is probably of an age to handle it? I have never really liked the trend since the '60's of using the "F" word so generously but it's my choice to either ignore it or throw the book in the garbage.

I don't usually believe in boycotting, but this dangerous stupidity requires it. Who is behind this? Let's make them poor.

I am offended by depictions of overt sexuality in movies and literature. Can I have such content whited out?

The way history is being reworked to find acceptance by current wokesters, by the year 2035 James Bond will either be a biological female identifying as a male, or he will be personally involved in NAMBLA.

I don't believe that there is any actual racism in the books. The insane garbage that current leftist crazies call "racist" is just baloney.

Why stop there? If the United States deported all blacks to Africa, then it could be said that slavery never existed. You liberal snowflake weenies think that if the country did away with some things that will fix the past. You need to remember that the past is there to be learned from so as not to repeat the same mistakes our forebears did. By eliminating something it doesn't change the past.

If you don't have old hard copies, this is a big issue.
It's like 1984.. Winston's job was rewriting history.

Now it is possible to own a literary treasure if you have even a paperback copy of the Bond series. The REAL one, as opposed to the US government office of obscurity edition.

Hold onto your books folks, they are going to be valuable someday. I think that it is time to scour the secondhand market and troll the book sections. Having the actual book means we have the actual works of the authors before the woke publishers started messing with somebody else's creative property.

Ok fine...
Now Do The Quran!
Seriously, I insist...before you even contemplate another rewrite of ANY other book, you must publish your edited for "correctness" Quran.
Whaaat? Ya scared?? Why???
I'm sure that it is exactly what the reading public....worldwide... has been waiting for.

I can see the cartoon now - man in trench coat on dark street corner. He covertly opens one half of his coat. "PSSST, buddy, how about some old Bond novels?"
