"Political Correctness"

Think of the most joyless, spiteful, humourless curmudgeon and you are about halfway there.

Political correctness.

'Dave darling, you're so money supermarket.'



How it really is

'Davy boy, you're shrewd with the pennies, but you look like an absolute nancy boy c*nt.'

It's a delicate dance between the perpetually, professionally offended, who get off on being a victim and the boorish 'Joe Everyman' who thinks his (and it's always a 'him') rights are somehow being eroded if he's asked to evolve.

Posted in reply to naydams question.....what is a luvvie....

..guess it could equally apply to poltitical correctness in general..

...I think in a certain context it may mean a "bleeding heart"   ....

...who when faced with certain issues that pertain to uncomfortable truths.....decide to take the politically correct path(although said person would argue it is the compassionate path) rather than risk offense and potential personal critiscism by addressing the substance at the very heart of the cause of the issues.

That ars*hole andy burnham has just said he'll have a 50% female cabinet (regardless of merit) and, here's the best bit:

If he wins and there is a MALE elected as deputy leader, he'll ignore it and parachute in a female as deputy leader anyway.

If the above stupidity makes you hold your head in your hands, you understand political correctness

....I wonder if he is elected as leader he will ignore it and parachute in a female leadr

....probably not.....nope

I like most people wouldn't mind if the cabinet were mostly female and the leader female on merit, this affirmative action is just wrong.

If it was a mostly female cabinet or female leader/dep, would they affirmative action the other way? Doubt it.

But we're talkng about burnham here, who on QT said cereals are different now to when he was young as they have sugar built in, and when pressed for an examoe said Frosties, which has been made since the 1950s and we probably all eat.

He's a tool.

I'd have liked to have seen his face if somebody had asked him when he was going to stand aside to give the female candidates a free run.

I had a look at the guardian on this and surpisingly, in the comments, unless there has been a mass takeover by non guardian types, even many on the left seem to think his idea is stupid silly PC gesture politics.

He's another Ed, Labour won't get back in until 2025 at the earliest.

If you aren't pre moderated - don't try posting on the guardian - it won't appear  - well anything  the guardian police dislike.

Political Correctness, although not just a British thing, has turned the British into a soft as sh1t bunch of pu$$ys. We are ripe for a takeover within the next 50 years, and others know it.

the last female prime minister was a fkn evil b1tch.....not a fan of having women in charge.

most are a bit mad and given any power they are worse than any man can be imo

Apt username.

bet he doesnt take a bet either.....

It restricts people from saying what they really think.

It upsets the 'freedom to' brigade and over-protects the 'freedom from'

I always speak my mind.  Why shouldn't I?

If it causes offence to some muppet, either debate with me or dial 0800 WHO FKN CRS.

Shame our Parliamentarians couldn't grow more balls ... @ I ain't talkin' Ed!
