You’re quite right, Welshcakes. It was invented to protect those who were imposing their view of history, e.g. the feminists, on the schools, on the judiciary, on all walks of life. It’s the steady Fabian grinding down of people which is their life’s work. PC’s purpose is to have people so that they don’t know if they’re Arthur or Martha and they’re too frightened to do or say anything.

Pure Soviet Union and China.

Thanks, all.

WL,

I would say that was merely the pretext. The aim is similar to the work Winston Smith was engaged in, controlling the language, subtly redefining the meaning of words, and making this an on-going process wherein nobody is sure whether the words they are using are still acceptable or mean the same thing.

Political correctness began in order to protect people and, despite some silly extremes, by and large, it still does.

Sorry to pursue the OT comment, but he said what?!

I better go and read up on what he said, before I go off half-cocked.

Totally OT.

Nick Clegg has been on every media outlet today saying(and I paraphrase)They are relying on a law enacted in 1689 that is over three hundred years old–and I think that should be changed.

Need I say more?
