I'm being asked to sign a petition to the council to have our road straightened and renamed from Crescent because of the connotations with Middle Eastern politics and religions. I'm waiting on your advice.

Have a wee think about it. Doesn't this sound like when the Americans called French Fries "Freedom Fries" because they didn't agree with French policy in the Gulf? It is not political correctness, it is just plain old bigotry.
What would this person do? Ban the crescent moon from the sky because it is used as a symbol of Islam?

Now I know everyone's gone mad! The prisons in the UK are overcrowded. Maybe all the criminals should be freed and the prisons turned into psychiatric facilities.
Next the Muslims will retaliate by demanded that cross roads are called something else.
Stop! Stop! Stop. Don't you realise how bloody ridiculous this all is?

That is just ridiculous. If this is actually happening, it is political correctness running amok, and the people who approve of that should be ashamed.
