Political correctness hasn't stopped people using humour to diffuse difficult situations, and there is certainly no current legislation in place in the UK to forbid it, as the opening thread of this post suggests.
Far from being the wooly liberal some people might assume me to be, I know and have laughed at some very unsavoury jokes, but I think it's the context and place where they are told. I wouldn't tell a 'spaz' joke to someone with a disabled child, or a 'lard arse' joke to a fat man. Happily though I will be the first to tell a 'queer' joke, and it will probably be funnier than any you know.
