It's getting more and more like the political reduction of the language in "1984".

Well they aren't gonna like my thesis entitled "My Forefathers' Workmanlike Influence Upon Mankind" then...

That would be a definite "SEE ME" in red ink.

Easter is Easter, and fuck you if it offends you!

Can we now expect Ramadan, Ede, Hanukkha or Diwali etc removed from any advertising or to be renamed just in case they offend other religions? Somehow i doubt it

This country has truly gone mad with the Liberal PC brigade running the Asylum

I am, but nothing to do with the above. Easter is Easter, same as Christmas is Christmas. A time for eating too much and wishing the family would all fuck off back to their respective houses.

"Happy not eating holiday "

The Ross Barkley thing does my head in.
Kelvin MacKenzie said in an article looking at Ross Barkley's eyes had given him a "similar feeling when seeing a gorilla at the zoo"

Suddenly as Barkley has Nigerian uncle, this is racist even though the comments weren't directed to his uncle.

EDIT: Kelvin McKenzie is still a scumbag who deserves everything he gets.

All fair points.

Happy St George's day everyone, may it be a great day for us at Wembley. Sorry if I have offended anyone with the St George's day bit .

Trevor Phillips, the black, ex-head of the equalities commission has said that, "It is sad to see a great city wallowing in victim status". He added that he didn't know that Barkley, who has a grandfather who is half-Nigerian (I'm sure they're very close), ".. was a brother".
A Liverpool councillor was quoted as 'still believing Kelvin McKenzie's comments were racist'.
