"We’re always evolving as a society which is a good thing, but perhaps too much. Whilst others are behind with very backward views on race, gender and sexuality we are embracing, but almost to the extent where we can’t even say an Englishman, Welshman and Irishman joke anymore..." Tin hat on time ummm...hate to tell you but legally under the race discrimination act if you stereotype someone because of their race ie: irish are stupid scots are miserly welshmen and sheep etc etc and somebody complains to the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission) and says its offensive to them and their race/culture then you can be prosecuted. Not saying its right not saying its wrong but it is the law. | |||

"Overused phrase by people who still think they can say anything. We don’t wasn’t to hear the likes of tommy ten names and racist and bigots and incite of violence. Yes I’m a a liberal ! Yes I know " Whats liberal about sending a bloke to jail for a joke with his gfs dog. Or sending a kid with a hate crime because they posted some government approved lyrics to a friends instagram page Or having police waste time moaning about who supermarkets sign post the tampon section. When did authoritarianism subvert the word liberal | |||

"I'm not sexist. I'm not homophobic. I'm not misogynistic. I'm not transphobic. I'm not racist. I dont hate muslims. I believe in equality. I am opposed to policies that force people in to poverty. I am anti violence and anti war. I could go on... I'm often called politically correct but looking at my core values I don't see which ones are so wrong? Too many people use the term politically correct as an insult to deflect from the fact that their own views are being questioned " | |||

"You hear it all the time, “it’s political correction gone mad” it’s because it’s true. It should be obvious by now to most people that political correction is a smoke screen used to censor and restrict people’s right to freedom of speech. Im all for the hate speech laws in place to deal with people who preach genuine hatred and threatening behaviour and violence, but it’s gone beyond the point of no return. These laws are now used to silence people, simply for having a difference of opinion that doesn’t match the ever expanding narrative of the establishment. I treat people how I would like to be treated, with respect and no pre-judgement, The worlds full of dickheads and disrespectful people, if you don’t clock them from a far straight away it’s easy to tell up close. But these dickheads should be free to say what they want regardless of whether me or anyone else finds what they say offensive. Honestly had to stop and take a step back, forgot totally wtf I was talking about lol. We all bleed red and shit brown live and let live " My shit aint brown.....taking iron supplements.... | |||

"It's quite funny when people go on about "political correctness gone mad", because what they mean is "I'd like to be a cunt without anyone calling me a cunt". You can say what you want, just don't expect people to pat you on the back for being a twat. " That's a very simplistic way of looking at it. | |||

"Also the suggestion that we live in a politically correct society is laughable. " Absolutely. We live in a society in which the home secentary was ready to let a baby die rather than risk looking soft in the eyes of the daily mail. Quite a way removed from 'PC'. | |||

Unless it's against the riot act or hate speech, it's legal, so people can say it. What the people who whine about it are objecting to is other people using their free speech to challenge them. So, what they'd like is to say whatever they want consequence-free, and when it doesn't happen, they whine about it. | |||

I agree that some people whine when their opinions are challenged. I don't agree in shutting down debate. If your view is robust then it should withstand questioning. | |||

Bull shit doesn’t bother me , I say it how it is , being a Yorkshire man , a spades a spade , take it or leave it " I grew up in the 80's, my adopted family are hugely white working class scottish, I really dont ever remember seeing anything like bernard manning on our tv, if I did it was the things deemed OK for television. Now looking back can anyone honestly say his stand up was appropriate? I say the same of any standup comedians, whether its black people using the N word, to other comedians mocking a disabled child. I worked in mental health for a decade, there were some funny experiences, yes you can make light of some of them. However if you are using it in a manner that is a deceptive way to make people view others, you really should be careful on how you promote it. Free speech is not an entitlement just because you are a human, it is there to protect the common good in society.So it should be used properly to its best. | |||
