IT'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!

"in case they offend Muslims" = "can't afford any Christmas trees this year"

"But I bet they can afford Ramadan, errrrr, trees"

No, they just close the canteen for a day. Saves on wages.

Simon Cowell is in the process of removing readings from the Koran from his initial mix of "Any Song Will Do" featuring the X-Factor winner, and ringing up all news networks about it...

Simon Cowell? Simon Coward more like!

Syd Barrett is in the process of renaming his song "Ramadan" to "Christmas", and then back to "Ramadam", in case it offends Muslims.

he's dead

Syd Barrett? Saeed Barrett more like!

Adam Ant ABANDONS plan to re-record Beatle Paul McCartney's RAM album, work it out for yourselves...

Adam Ant? Adam Anti-Western Democracy more like!

ha ha ha...

Oh, please yourselves...

Ex-Adam & the Ants eighties legend Adam Ant, singer, vehemently denies claims of offending other faiths with his projected RAMADAM album.

The family of sixties pop legend Adam Faith were unavailable for comment.

So is Tom O'Connor a tory or not?

He's from Liverpool, so more than likely

Southwark NHS has actually banned Christmas trees in case they offend Muslims, that was a doozy of a staff meeting

Is this true, or am I missing a joke?

They said no Christmas tree this year, because they don't celebrate other faiths' holy days and it would be exclusive. Nobody is allowed to have their own tree in their office unless it is an ornament that will fit on a table. Apparently they were the only PCT in South London that had one last year and they didn't want to etc zzzz

This is a Christian Nation founded on Christian Principles! Is our Head of State not Defender of the Faith?

Will we still be the country of choice and still be Great Britain if we continue to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in Britain because it is the country of choice?

Think about it.

All I have to say is, when will they do something about MY RIGHTS? I celebrate Christmas, but because it isn't celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry Christmas. Now it has to be Season's Greetings. It's not Christmas holiday, it's Winter Break. Isn't it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holiday? We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards to not offend anyone, that I am now being offended. But it seems that no one has a problem with that.

This says it all!

This is an editorial written by a British citizen, published in a national newspaper He did quite a job, didn't he? Read on, please

IMMIGRANTS, NOT BRITS, MUST ADAPT.

I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on the 07/07 we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Brits. However, the disgust about the attacks had barely settled when the 'politically correct!' crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others.

I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Britain. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants (the Danes, Romans, etc.) However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of the Brits being a multicultural community
has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Britain's we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

We speak ENGLISH, not Indian, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

'Land of Hope & Glory' is our motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.

If the 'Union Jack' flag offends you, or you don't like our QUEEN, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from.

This is OUR COUNTRY, our land, and our lifestyle. Our laws give every citizen the right to express his opinion and we will allow you every opportunity to do so!

But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our lifestyle, our government, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great BRITISH freedom, THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.

Since the terrorist attacks on the 07/07 we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Brits.

'Land of Hope & Glory' is our motto.

Oh right, I see

Doesn't work in Britain

(n.b. i didn't edit it, the brit version was sent in all seriousness and gullibility by a colleague of a friend of mine)

I don't think it has been said, but Stuart Lee is OTMFM.

There's a link to a longer stand up bit on the Lee video where he has an amusing dig at Littlejohn.

<3<3<3<3<3 Stewart Lee.

i was front row at that particular steward lee!

wait no not that particular stewart lee!

i just spontaneously went mad

Politically correctly mad?

Very weak choices in my view. I always assumed we were laughing at Fawlty going bonkers not at the Germans, who are the most sympathetic characters in the sketch.

We will be adding more videos to this website in due course and if you wish to recommend any we would be very glad to hear from you!

Any ideas?

I recommend the people responsible for that site kill themselves

Tom O'Connor Political Update: has never publicly endorsed any political party.

Any ideas?

Used to be a maths teacher didn't he? Maybe not a Tory after all?

WARNING - DO NOT VIEW THESE CLIPS UNLESS YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR!

Remember the famous Carling advert with the Brit and his towel beating all the Germans??

I read "all" as "off" but...

That version was only shown late at night on pornographers to the nation C4.

Cafe Hag ("Morning Klaus") at 2:02

Also omg heretofore unknown inspiration for Rowley Birkin QC at 0:30

He's a Chinaman who can't pronounce his R's! Geddit!
Wonderful times...such memories.

Harrow! Henley!

"Now, who could find that offensive?" (CF: Roy North)

But the "stupid irriot" in the Benny Hill Chinaman sketch is always Henry McGee or some other guy who can't understand what Benny is saying

"sirry", that is.

Ah, the humorous inversion: The audience knows it is the Chinaman who is etc...

Who is what?

Cue Ian Wright: "The black bloke on On The Buses was token, inne? But it was the first time we'd ever seen a black bloke on a bus, except for that bloke from Aswad when he was a kid in the Double Deckers yeh theme tune!"

Vince Scriptwriter, aged 96: "What the so-called politically correct anti-racialists always forget was that the Coloured Character always got the upper hand."

Henry McGee was the stupid irishman though. See, it's more complex than you think.

Anyway while you're pondering that perhaps you'd like to donate to Garry Bushell's campaign to erect (geddit!) a statue of Benny in Southampton.
http://www.garry-bushell.co.uk/campaign/campaign.asp?campain_id=1

It seems to have been quite successful...
April 23, 2006: Brian Conley headlined a benefit show with great performances from Neville Staples, John Bardon, Right Said Fred, Rick Wakeman and a host of others. £5,000 was raised towards the statue on the night. My thanks to the Artful Dodger, Mike Osman, Secret Affair, the Cockney Rejects, Mickey Pugh, Seani T, Max Splodge, Hilary O'Neil, the OddBalls, Dexter, Eddie Piller and everyone else who made the night a success.

Henry McGee wasn't Irish, that was the wee baldy guy

Only if they tie it to a tree... (xpost)
