Everybody is a little bit PC so it depends on what spectrum he is talking about.

In a way he is right. Political correctness forces you to think, speak and address people in a certain way. It's not about being polite or not hurting people's feelings, it's about pandering to people and lying about how you really feel because you're scared of a negative social reaction.

Political correctness and wanting to be seen as being politically correct can be dangerous too - I'm sure we're all familiar with recent stories where that has been prevalent.

Perhaps ,'truth' never saw that ,I certainly didn't, maybe people have other things to do sometimes and don't see every thread.

Seems a pity that the BBC is still not interested in reporting on the documentary evidence of the Mail Group's illegal activities

Scared ?

Wise words indeed.
