I could not believe this when I first read it ages ago as it was obviously happening here, I only recently found it again.
So how did it all start?
Political Correctness started in a think tank (called The Frankfurt School) in Germany in 1923. The purpose was to find a solution to the biggest problem facing the implementers of communism in Russia. Why wasn't the wonderful idea of communism spreading? The Frankfurt school recommended (amongst other things):
1 the creation of racism offences 2 continual change to create confusion 3 the teaching of sex and homosexuality to children 4 the undermining of schools and teachers' authority 5 huge immigration to destroy identity 6 the promotion of excessive drinking 7 emptying the churches 8 an unreliable legal system with bias against the victim of crime 9 dependency on the state or state benefits 10 control and dumbing down of media 11 encouraging the breakdown of the family
Sound all too familiar? Yes - Great Britain 1997 onwards......
The basic idea is to make the country wholly dependent on the State. By the dumbing down of education, the creation of huge state sector employment and large scale immigration, New Labour has effectively created a captive audience to vote for them or Blue Labour, should the Conservatives actually get back into power.

Our British humour has suffered badly. We can't tell jokes anymore in case it's considered racist or it upsets anyone. Don't these Politically Correct people realise that the clue is in the word "joke",which my dictionary quite rightly defines as "something said in fun or jest" or "to say something in fun or teasing rather than in earnest?"

He's not afraid to tackle the difficult issues...
When one dissects her dodgy statistics, it turns out that most of the 7,000 women involved in a survey didn't say they had been raped at all. Most said 'they had sexual intercourse against their will' which is a totally different thing. Most men if asked would probably say that they 'go shopping against their will' or 'visit the Mother-in-law against their will' - when they would rather perhaps watch the match on TV. All of these things are just emotional blackmail or 'give and take' when it happens within a relationship.

So what I can't understand is why the PC Brigade is making so much fuss about something that happened hundreds of years ago and no one who was involved with it (on either side) is alive today. So who should apologise and to whom and why?
We should learn lessons from history though; this was immigration on a large scale and leprosy was said to be spread by the slave trade.
If we are into apologies for past atrocities, why don't they call on Germany to apologise for two world wars and the slaughter of six million jews? Many of the people involved on both sides are still alive today.

Bob Dylan started in a fish tank (called The Mississippi School) in Iraq in 1923. The purpose was to find a solution to the biggest problem facing the implementers of not-capitalism in Russia. Why wasn't the wonderbra idea of not-capitalism spreading? The fishtank school recommended (amongst other things):
1. Making up historical schools to support vaguely plausible theories 2. Play on the fears of people who have little or no connection to people richer or poorer than themselves (whichever is more suitable) 3. Cite non-existant statistics without actual citation 4. enlarge or diminish statistics as appropriate 5. Check spellings at all times 6. Act like you are the voice of sanity in an insane world 7. concede small points to appear fairminded 8. make bulletpoint lists, numbered, at least ten of them 9. suggest that an actual majority feel and believe the exact same thing 10. run up a national symbol as a heading picture (avoid an actual flag though.

A leadership election was held in September 2005. Acting leader Patrick Eston defeated Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Colin Brown, and former boxer Winston MacKenzie on a 22% turnout. This, combined with a poor turnout at the party's first Annual General Meeting, is believed to have brought about the subsequent resignation of Brown along with the founders of the VMA. Eston appointed a new party chairman, Alan Ainscow, who resigned from that post and the party in November. As defections and resignations continued, a number of members and former members, including Anthony Bennett and Ken Wharton, formed a new party, the Popular Alliance in March 2006. Eston nonetheless appointed a deputy, Howard Martin, who also is the main Veritas Party spokesperson, and seems determined to continue with the party, despite the depletion of the Veritas membership.

the 'inconvenient truth' that Al Gore forgot to mention was that with the two graphs he uses to show the correlation between temperature and CO2, the CO2 graph actually came a few hundred years AFTER the CO2 and was just a result of the increased heat causing the CO2 to be released from the oceans (Even the Royal Society agree with this point). And of course that heat came from the only energy source the earth has - the Sun.
