With the UK economy in dire-straights and with law and order, education, health etc. all being pretty-well knackered, you'd think that the half-witted Marxists that govern us would have more important things to concern themselves with than this nonsense.

I'm giving up with PCness. It's all wank. I bet most of them are women. Get back in the kitchen.

If you're offended then be offended. It's not like anything happens to you when you're offended.

Amen.


...am I allowed to say that now, even though I am not religious or will someone get offended that I used it out of context?

second in command implies that that person who is second in command is of lower status than that of first,this could be offensive where as god gave us all a right and left hand its a completely natural thing.

right hand man left hand man

What is the actual story here? Confused

Sounds to me like somebody specifically made the FoI requests to create an outrage headline like this.

But, but, who would possibly seek to gain from inciting popular 'anti-PC nonsense' feelings?... Rolling Eyes

it is..

it sickens me it really does.. finding offence in anything and everything and what makes it worse is these are normally white middle class people who have no idea if it really does cause offense or not.

man that winds me up.. black day, never did and never will in any shape or form relate to skin colour so why are they creating the link.. its reverse racism in its purest form

baa baa ethnic minority sheep, have you any wool. Evil or Very Mad
