Default Madness of political correctness

*Gingerbread persons are the order of the day*
A bakery in kidderminster has been advertising ginger persons and staff been correcting those asking for a gingerbread man by saying they no longer sell them and can only offer a ginger person.



*England flag deemed racist*
A football fan in wiltshire says police ordered him to remove an england flag from his car because it could be deemed to be racist and offensive.

We were told at work that we should not criticise political correctness in any way shape or form as it is trying to do the right thing.



You WILL be politically correct
or you will be re-educated

let me guess who...ho andyman!! mahahahaha!

are you a ginger?... is that your problem?

"*England flag deemed racist*
A football fan in wiltshire says police ordered him to remove an england flag from his car because it could be deemed to be racist and offensive."

rubbish

... you made it up. Where is the link. Police would NEVER give that reason. Why would they need to if hanging half out of a car screaming like a lunatic is reason enough for police. You made it up hehe lol. LINK please... ( with police saying it was because the flag might be seen as racist)

Rubbish as usual. Andy trying to stir up another lynch mob again.

*Human rights farce of car thieft on roof*
Police in gloucester brought food and cigaretts to a suspected car thief who refused to come down from the top of a building as they were concerned about his "human rights". As many as 50 police surrounded the building only to find the suspect begin bombarding them with bricks and tiles. Instead of forcing the suspect down, officers sent up a kentucky fried chicken meal and a packet of cigarettes.

being politically correct is trying not to offend groups of people by the things you say, the bollocks youve just come out with is usually made up by the papers and comes from meetings where people are discussing what may or may not be offensive. In reality those kind of things dont happen. And as for the man on the roof he could have actually been mentally ill do you think it might be a good idea to be nice to him or just let him dies eh?

Can political correctness be taken too far just to avoid upset? At times political correctness can do more damage than good.

He sees a man with a mental illness eating KFC on a roof as an example of society falling apart and something to get angry about. He side stepped the criminal justice reform debate in that last thread to tackle the big issues hehe

A school in nottingham sent letters to parents saying that the nativity play is delayed until new year due to eid. Been in the papers, news, radio etc. The problem is that "PC" can be taken to far and used for no reason. Some councils go too far just to avoid upset.. Upset that was never there in the first place.
