Well I still say Ba Ba Black Sheep....as I have done since I was a child. It is about a black sheep for goodness sake. Christmas Lights are on my Christmas Tree. They have been Christmas lights as long as I remember. I have a friend who drinks black coffee and why would I call it anything else....And... I dont care who trys to change it, Christmas will never be banned for me.
Who are the clowns who want to change the way we speak. Surely they are not the black people. If they were born in the country, no matter the colour of their skin, then they would have been reared with the same nursery-rhymes and way of speaking as the rest of us. If not, and they just came here from abroad and want to change everything that is familiar to us, then they should go back to where things are as they want it to be. Heaven help the one who would try that tack on in some countries abroad...You would be left picking your head up off the ground.
How are we supposed to mix together in harmony when strangers want to turn our lives upside down because they might be offended.
I might try that game....I may sue if that song 'White Christmas' is not changed......My blind friend will surely sue if 'Three Blind Mice' is not changed...and you can forget about 'The White Cliffs Of Dover'
To the PC police....Grow up.....I will not change. As Dido says 'There Will Be No White Flag......wait a minute...I may throw a hissy fit if THAT isn't changed........Too silly for words....

Yes it has gone totally nuts.
Noddy was banned for the portrail of the character Golly. Thats fair enough, but the rest of it is crazy.
That coffee things been around for a while now, it bugs me, its coffee for a start an not least of all cus every one of my Black friends want to be known as Black, my Asian friends want to be called Asian or Brown an so on an so forth, Why on Earth do so many have issues with something that the majority in the situation just dont.
Surely the only issue should be the context the language is used in???
An as for calling us **** asians whats that all about??? Joking people.

It does not offend me about the Baa Baa Black sheep thing. I think by the government or whoever banning the song only encourages racism/predujice.
I agree about the Christmas thing.. its to not offend muslims.
But once, I was at work and all the muslims wanted Eid off, the manager said no it is not a national holiday... if that is the case, they should work during Christmas.

When you have a stupid politically correct government full of Tony's nodding puppets and the same sort of ignorant council in Lambeth then what can we expect? We need to get rid of them in the next election.Pity they can't go sooner.

They've already banned Noddy from sleeping with Bigears, and a blackboard is now a chalk board. What colour will snow be? It's not the names that are racist - it's the interpretation of them that's racist.

We are definitely too pc these days. Life would be boring if we were all the same. We should be able to respect our differences while still being free to express our opinions and celebrate our own festivals and holidays.

makes you laugh though we are so worried about being PC how about the groups that openly promote racism such as BNP how about getting rid of them before worrying about a few nursery rhymes .
Thinks we should get it right
