Political Correctness Has Gone Too Far

[BogBrush1903]

The problem with this is that it’s an extreme and foolish example of gypes being gypes. The term ‘political correctness’ is pejorative, a handy tool of the reactionary right to excuse their belligerent, bigoted behaviour. What they don’t want is people to respect each other, or stop being cuunts to each other, an incestuous relative of the age-old divide and rule tactic, still the best weapon in the right’s armoury.

I call it ‘respect’.

Had society not moved on in the past four decades, we’d still be monkey-chanting and chorusing “Wilson’s a darkie” at fitba grounds. The descendants of Brother Walfrid still have a bit to go, like, given their continued abuse of a black player brave enough to call out racism directed at him. The hypocritical fuuckers.

I was on the train to work in 2000 when I read Gary Younge’s definitive Guardian article on the subject, and I copied the URL when I looked it up at work that day (see below).

Next week, I’ll kick to fuuck the ‘health & safety gone mad’ cliché beloved of self-made macho alpha male he-men.

Remember: stop being cuunts to one another, and we’ll get on fine.

A very good post but a point that will be lost by many on here I fear

Apu from the Simpsons to be axed as he is deemed as racist by the PC brigade

Just like the Cleveland Indians Chief Wahoo, the soft c@nts win again.

Apu wasn't deemed racist 30 years ago, 20 years ago, 10 years ago . Now hes to be axed from the show as the writers have been attacked by the PC c@nts and they cant be assed with the hassle.

This sets a precedent.

Pretend offence is becoming a scourge on society

It's because of nonsense like this that Trump is president. People are sick of the PC crap, which has gone way to far.

Mothercare?

I'm sure fathers shop there too

[donsdaft]

There's millions of them

Ladies nights (swimming or pubs)

Nobody cares but the rules obviously only work one way.

Why ban men only pubs?

Not that they were of any interest to me because I was on the lookout for fanny but why not?

Gonna need evidence to show that these right wing nutjob urban myths are true.

You're playing into the hands of the Conservative and Unionist Party, UKIP, that boy "Tommy Robertson" and their bigoted mouthpieces, The Daily Express, The Daily Mail and The Sun.

I expect better, but am always prepared for disappointment.

No one shops there - it's going bust like the rest of the high street
