The term politically correct for me is a benchmark as to what is socially and politically accepted in civil society .
One that you think would speak for those who have right leaning views, if it weren't for the fact that they are 99% of the time trotting the term out as a negative if someone dares to shine a light on the bigoted 'ist' things they say regularly.

To blame the 'Left' and accuse anyone who disagrees with swathes of the media and at times the govt marginalising those they deem undesirable as being 'regressive' is pathetic.

The regressive left is'nt a term used to describe everyone left of centre.It's a subsection of the left who will defend any other culture other than their own no matter how right or wrong they think they are.They will dismiss the bigotry of certain cultures as 'just part of that culture' and won't stand up to it.They will defend terrorists if they believe in the cause(Hamas for example).Just look at the Stop The War coalition(Corbyns favourite club).They only want to 'stop the war' if the west are involved.The kind of people who say things like 'our friends from Hamas'.These people will regularly use political correctness as their weapon of choice.
It does not describe every left leaning person as regressive.
