This ‘mustn’t offend’ whether it is because of religion, sex, or whatever, really does go too far at times. Though maybe we really could have used a bit of it years ago. I’m not sure where the P.C. Police were in Australia in the days when the Greeks were called Wogs, the Italians were Dagos, and us English people were Pommie Bast****. If you complained then you were a whinging Pom – and if you didn’t like it then you knew what you could do….

…so we developed a thick skin and gave back as good as we got.
