Has political correctness gone too far in Great Britain?

Question

Silly rules for a silly nation?

(Silly nation. Not refering to us as silly, but the rules imposed are suited to a nation as such.)

Answer 1

YES it has !!!!! I could go on and on giving examples and telling you why 'I' think its gone to far, but all im going to say is ... PC CAN BITE MY WHITE AS'S

Answer 2

It seems they are limiting free speech in England and it is a pity. Several months ago they charged a Priest and Rabbi for speaking out against the Islamics. On the other side of the issue in Washington The Danes demonstrated against that Hoopla the Muslims made of that Cartoon. I believe only the Washington Post covered it. In my area {New York Metro} not a mention. The Moslem's demonstrating in Europe with their death threats were well covered and not arrested. By the way we are the only Country that has freedom of press in their Constitution.
Years ago { but not that many] the Royal Family could sensor the press; they probably gave up on that deal because it is so hard to keep up with all their trash. Wouldn't it be terrible if we couldn't have Priest, Minister and Rabbi jokes.

Answer 3

Not sure about "silly nation" but we have had a lot of silly rules imposed on us by a silly government and a lot of silly people in minor positions of authority with nothing better to do.

When children can't be taught nursery songs like "Baa Baa Black Sheep" because it might offend black people or house holders can't display a porcelain figure of a pig in their windows in case some passing Muslim gets upset then there's something seriously wrong somewhere.

I am no fervent Christian but recently a Christian was arrested for handing out religious texts at a Gay Pride festival because he might offend the gays. Yet no-one is arrested when Christian heterosexual children are taught about gay sex in our schools.

When there are serious discussions about changing the English flag because the Cross of St. George might remind some Muslim of the Crusades and upset him then the ordinary Christian (or at least non-Muslim) White Anglo-Saxon Heterosexual people of this country who still make up the vast majority should start to consider whether the country they love is being slowly and insidiously overtaken by a brand of fascism based on extreme political correctness.

Answer 4

Read "While Europe Slept" by Bruce Bawer and you'll find out how political correctness has led to underground communities following sharia, the law of fundamental Islam, which is totally NOT politically correct.

Answer 5

IMO the project isn't political correctness or "tolerance" in any respect, according to se. its incorrect "Tolerance". I would desire to look at it from the attitude of the U. S...... some issues are allowed/tolerated/notwithstanding contained in the united kingdom, via the christians even, which would be excellent to the yankee viewpoint. the indisputable fact that those issues are allowed for the CHRISTIANS potential that "tolerance" leads to those issues being allowed for others. and thats no longer neccesarily a sturdy ingredient. contained in the U. S., all human beings has to stay with the comparable regulations. this restricts some issues which at the instant are not limited contained in the united kingdom, whether it additionally prevents specific problems that happen contained in the united kingdom. woult the christians contained in the united kingdom be prepared to have their religious freedoms be tempered with a extra secular baseline, as a fashion to furnish a extra even keel to different religious expressions? contained in the U. S., the countless "problems" that that author refers to... would be excellent! the entire device is dampened against those very issues, via an earthly mass that restrains the business enterprise of religion. on a similar time as contained in the U. S., some human beings would act as though an identical problem is happening, (and, bizzarely, waiting to do it on occasion with much less vile racism and separationism) the project isn't almost as standard as they make it out to be. the indisputable fact that this: "those information communicate extra to the crippled state of the Church of england" seems suitable, or is even of any meaning, is the very middle of the project. it sort of feels blatantly glaring to me that the entire problem in reality, very almost each and all of the united kingdom's problems, come from an historic festering wound that has by no potential been fixed. it relatively is made sparkling via the indisputable fact that contained in the U. S., it substitute right into a founding concept to no longer enable this wound to be carried over to u.s.. "shall make no regulation respecting an business enterprise of religion, or prohibiting the unfastened exercising thereof;" its relatively... sickeningly... extremely, ironic. the ingredient that the author of that article is striving for... is the very reason for the project.

Answer 6

Yep. You can't do anything in this country without it being completely un-pc to someone. Eventually we'll all have to shut our mouths permanently and cut off our fingers to stop us typing un-pc things on tinternet or paper.

What a waste of people's time deciding what is pc and what isn't.

Answer 7

I don't think so. I have never thought of Great Britain like that. The Brits always seemed to me to be on the right side of most things.
