Oh yes - saw this in the papers yesterday!    Thought it was April 1st!

You'd think the police would have better things to do!

this is about the last straw for me while I would not try to do anything racist or sexist myself ,I am just about fed up with this PC crap that seems  to get the better of common sence now on a almost daily basis in this country.
I agree with Rik you would think the police had better thing to do.
Many of you who know me from another forum will know that I come from a traveling family but to complain about a kids show is just stupid.

"They are not allowed to joke about blacks or Asians any more because they would be taken to court, but when it comes to Gypsies or the Irish travelling community they mock us - and to them it's not racist.

"We are the last group of people in this country who you can openly mock and make racist jokes about - who else is there?"


Stupid woman!!! I can (sort of) see her point, but she should try being fat!! I know from painful experience that gypsies are NOT the only group of people to be mocked!!! If she finds a stereotype offensive, she should have had some of the insults that I've had over the years!! FOOL!!!!!

And that's one of the most frustrating aspects of it all!  I do think that the majority of people are sick and tired of all the PC things we're supposed to abide by, and know that on the whole, they're laughable ~ yet we continue to accept them and make more!
