Re: Political Correctness.

As I said earlier, the inital idea was noble, and to help stop discrimination.

Instead of nigger/coloured/darkie/coon read black. Instead of queer/faggot/puff/bender read gay. Instead of spaz/biff/freak/cripple read less able bodied.

The concept was initally good, it just went too far, and the press love whipping up their readers with the notion that soon they'll be unable to call a spade a spade, which is rubbish.

I'm not politcally correct by the way. I'm happy being a shaking, honky, old ginger.:D

Re: Political Correctness.

The French? You don't have to go that far! :D What about Yorkshire? Mind you most of the Mickey taking of Yorkshire folk is in fun.

It has got out of hand I agree and it's very silly.

There are also other things which are called PC but are more to do with avoidance of possible insurance claims or law suits and that's the Health & Safety stuff like not allowing kids to play conkers.

Henry Tudor was as Lancastrian as the Queen of Tonga's t**s. The Duke of Buckingham had a better claim than he had.:eek:
