As humour goes out the window. All you have to scream is 'I take a fence' and they apologise.
This is how to develop control. Make 'em scared of doing anything.
Happening everywhere.
Scream sexism/racism/phobias etc etc
The lunatics are taking over.

Virgin Trains has apologised after its official Twitter account compounded a customer’s complaint about sexist language by asking whether she would prefer to be called “pet” or “love”.
On a day when rail passengers around the country expressed dismay after the biggest rise in fares since 2013, its social media staff inflamed more anger after apparently mocking the woman. Emily Cole tweeted that she had been “dismissed with that hideously patronising word … honey” by a train manager, after attempting to discuss a problem. Virgin Trains East Coast replied: “Sorry for the mess up Emily, would you prefer ‘pet’ or ‘love’ next time?” Cole said she was stunned by the response. She wrote: “Wonderful to see that Virgin take complaints of rude and misogynistic behaviour seriously. Stunned.” Inflamed the anger more and Rude and misogynistic behaviour. Incredible, don't know whether to laugh or cry. |

I don't mind. Quite like it actually. |

No independent thinkers write articles for the Guardian. You'd have to write precisely what they expect to read.

When I lived in Yorkshire a barman there frequently called me 'Love'.
Very much doubt he was a homosexual. Should I be offended? |
|
By:
I don't know whether it still applies, but in the 70s I heard 'love' regularly used between men. It was particular to Leeds as I recall, I had never heard it used anywhere else before working there.
