Political Correctness just seems to be another rigid ideology, brooking no contradition or opposition, and stifling freedom of speech, expression and thought, certainly for those whose views dont match the PC world view. What right do the PC brigade have to impose their particular set of ideals on society, the workplace, govornment, the education system etc? Who says THEY are right. Also, their views are also often patronising to those they purport to be protecting, assuming certain groups all have chips on their shoulders, suffer from persecution complexes, or paranoia. They often exacerbate problems, as well as fascisticly stifle free speech and actively persecute those not like them. Fascism?

You worry too much

Just how many ordinary people in daily life take any notice of "political correctness"? That's for the bureaucrats, academics and politicians.

Where I live, on a council estate in Northern England, people don't really give a damn about skin colour, gender, sexual orientation and all the rest of it. What does concern them is whether or not they have good or bad neighbours - and that there are not too many bad lads and lasses in the area.

Personally I think people make too much of political correctness - both those who promulgate it and those who oppose it. Fascism as an ideology attempts to force people to think how the ruling group wish - (How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?).

Be that, as it may I suspect that political correctness for most people is something that has little effect on their relationships with others and most people in the UK have a healthy scepticism when it comes to being told how they should think..

It is a tyranny of the majority population by promoting the so called rights of minority groups. The minority groupings are largely manufactured groups that our accorded rights that they haven't asked for by the government and their PC acolytes, eg TV media, guardianistas, teachers/lecturers and many other focus groups, quango's and other pressure groups. Examples of minority groups are - Gay lobby, disabilities, single parents, race and sex police, child poverty (which doesn't actually exist as children don't have an economic status. It is the parents who have the economic status)

The word 'fascism' is not normally associated with the left wing, but it is the unpatriotic left wing capitalist and democracy hating zealots who are behind PC. They are aiming for a Socialist totalitarian government, and to help achieve this, they are controlling the majority by using the powers within the ridiculous Human Rights Act to empower minorities at the expense of the majority. Traditional values, the family, free speech, the upbringing of your own children, immigration control etc, have all been seriously undermined. It's about control. Poor state education, benefit handouts, compensation culture, nannying, encouraging feckless parents, undermining school discipline and relaxing the punishment of criminals, all helps to make citizens think of themselves as helpless victims, and thus, easily controlled by the state.

From freedom to facism, this is the reality of todays ultra correct world created by an elite group that is only concerned with creating and holding on to a lucrative job paid for by the mugs they suppress. It makes the BNP repectable. The imposition of PC dogma has nothing to do with the realities of todays world. It is the ruling of the majority by the minority, it is fighting causes that have no relation to the countries standards most of this minority belongs to or more importanly move to. It is the erosion of a countries religion, customs and general way of life. It in turn leads to suppression, a big brother society. Do you recognise that what I have said has already happened. The UK is the most watched and controlled country in the world, the powers that be even want the right to teach us how to sing fairy tales to our children, to dictate how we look after our pets, to conform to an alien way of life whether we like it or not. I warned all that would listen that voting back into power labour would create a dictatorial and one party state, has it happened, you bet it has. Only the indigenous population can change the way it is, are you up for it because you will have to decide soon.

You of direction don't realize what fascism surely is. Political correctness is deceptive, and morally bullying, and cowardly, even though it isn't fascism. as an get mutually, it isn't imposed by the State or a ruling get mutually. it will be extra impressive to say it became practised by a social classification, who have a tendency to impose it of their sphere of administration, which has a tendency to be media, preparation, social artwork and academia. The un-politically impressive have not been rounded up and interned or shot. advise you study some ecu heritage in case you pick to understand what fascism surely is. by ways, the jokers who advise computing gadget is Marxist are even sillier. maximum of those who impose computing gadget will be scared stiff of a Marxist regime or revolution, because it would cause them to artwork for a residing in something surely sensible to society, and they might might want to get their fingers hardened and their Gucci and Prada shoes grimy.

It seems every topic that has more than one side, always has the PC code interjected into the debate. For all those on the non-PC side of the aisle - their opinions are deemed racist, ignorant or both. What has happened to legitimate, open-ended debate? Of course actual racism, or the demeaning of any person, group, etc., is wrong, and shouldn't be accepted by any part of society. But to group all descenting opinions as wrong, sexist, racist, ect, is most certainly turning the clock backwards in time, to a place where our great grandparents, grandparents and parents fought to move us forward away from. It is sad.

Abusing There Immigration Right (Dumbness)

They have A No ethnic immigration law

In Layman's Terms
On the topic of ridiculous ideas, what's really ridiculous is immigrants thinking their able to get a fascist German hail, you know they call that 1930s German political ideology National Socialism, hear the local idiot telling me I cannot get a hail not that I want a hail because I put old religion before politics and I am somewhat unconventionally religiously archaic , they called it national socialism because it is anti immigration which meant that the on immigration policy they wanted no immigrants, during the reign in Germany when that government party was coming to power and came to power, they were previously called the German Workers Party renamed the NSDAP two of their first decisive was 1, remove all immigrants from Germany that meant the polish, Slavs, Asians, Black, Romanians (ect) all except citizens of Germany from countries like Austria and close boarder white indigenous countries with good relations to Germany, their 2nd decisive move was to dissolve the old German Parliament to make space for the new fascist government of Germany, these are just two key points that are relevant to any fool here in the United Kingdom thinking they are following fascist German ideology and telling me I could not even get a fascist hail which I definitely don’t want, (you should read the next paragraph carefully) had the German fascists won the second world war, not I or my mother a woman of blood race would have survived and not one non white immigrant would be here living in the United Kingdom the monarchy would have been deposed in the manner as did Cromwell and your world here of free rights would be a totally different place and yes you would not be here, so as far as your immigrant hailing fascism is concerned it is worth nothing to a Nazi except an immediate understanding, which when interpreted speaks as “ Who Gives A Dam About A Few Peasants, All Is For The Greater Fascist Government’’ so you see my fine immigrant friend, when you try to fascist hail you are simply digging your own grave, it is worth considering what Plato the philosopher one of the father’s and critiques of democracy says concerning political philosophy, there is only one true form of a thing and any imitations of copy of it is an indigent, in short everything will return to it own form, so if you being immigrant keeping hailing your indigent innovation of Nazism eventually it will return to its original form which will mean ethnic cleansing, racial exterminations of non white ethnic religions and cultures and the systematic process of mental eradication (sieving out the foreign concepts to the utopian ideals) which will leave no pace for your subculture, puffing on a tree as you do or chasing what windmill you do to paint the bleaker picture, in short hundreds and hundreds of people just like you and not just here but in many countries my little lady girl and sonny boy, this means you’d be out of countries like this too, so every time you an immigrants think you all haling just think, YOUR NEXT


First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left

Woah - it's not facism! It's a pain in the ****, no getting round it, but rather than being a political ideology, it's more a set of guidelines to try and keep all the different factions of society on an even keel.

The problem comes simply because not all people are the same, so one rule doesn't fit all. Personally, I find PCness to be the most patronizing way of trying to deal with people I've ever come across and I try to avoid it as much as I can (often causing 'offense' to others), but I'd rather that than the other extreme...

The whole point of this movement was to encourage people to think carefully about issues they address, if used on personal level it allows a bit of give in terms on seeing a matter from as many angles as possible and taking a wide view.
However when we are told how to use it it defeats the point and purpose and seems like a nannying response. It is ironic that something designed to widen individual thinking is actually narrowing collective thinking. I'm not sure it's fair to lump the responsibility for this change in use with certain groups since it seems first and formost to be politicians who have highjacked the movement to force their agendas. You can hide a multitude of weak and crass arguments behind these principles. I think it also suffers by virtue of it's description, but cheifly it was intended to be a thought widening suggestion tool. Governments make it enforced law and doctrine.

Yes, in some areas, but not in others. A few years ago I was showing a pal an old building in Scotland that had been built by Oliver Cromwell and he politely asked why and how, saying that it was good of Cromwell to donate money to the less fortunate. Just as I was about to explain. A young Irishman overhearing the conversation came up to us and said or threatned that if we said anything good about Oliver Cromwell we would be in trouble!

Now I understand why the Irish get upset about what Cromwell did to them - but why am I not allowed to discuss the more positive affects of Oliver Cromwell, in my own country (Scotland) without being threatned by a complete stranger?!

Despite his natural dislike of Cromwell, to approach people like that, complete stangers I just figured that the guy was a mental case.

Etc. Etc. They just Blunder on Screwing our country up
