More Political Correctness run amok

Woe-struation ? Fits the, er, situation.

[belfrybat]

Personstruation?

[Magnus]

Nope. Contains "son". Must try harder.

[G-CPTN]

Even 'female' has male in it . . .

[llondel]

Why not just call it a bloody, hormonal mess because that describes it fairly accurately.

[unifoxos]

As teenagers we used to describe it as a bleeding waste of f***ing time.

Nowadays I use that phrase, or just the word "period", to describe politicians.

[OFSO]

I always understood that the male body also runs on a 30 day cycle, but without the blood. Unless you shave with a cut throat razor of course.

Why not just call it a bloody, hormonal mess because that describes it fairly accurately.

In our beach culture, it's known as "Surfing the crimson wave."

Jeremy Corbyn has got himself into the PC mess with his 'mouthed' remark to Theresa May. Lip readers have interpreted his words as "Stupid woman" which has raised a bit of a storm in Parliament as sexist. Mr Corbyn has denied this and publicly stated he said "stupid person". I have looked at the clip several times and think the lip readers are correct, looks more like the mouthing of the word woman.

Whilst being no fan of Jeremy, I see nothing wrong with the statement he is alleged to have made. In his opinion Mrs May is stupid (and there are plenty of MPs of all political persuasions who might agree) and she is also a woman so the statement appears to be fairly uncontroversial.

So the furore is all a load of PC bollocks!

....or a political smokescreen

Jeremy Clarkson justifiably and accurately described Gordon Brown as a one-eyed Scottish idiot.

Canada is officially an English/French bilingual country. Some years ago, the father of the current Airhead chastised the unilingual then Minister of Transport for being unable to speak French. He reply "It's better to be sincere in one language than a tw@t in two" caused great consternation.

[ExSp33db1rd]

Why is it non-PC to state fact ? e.g. He's a dangerous Moslem. If "He" is indeed male and a Moslem, where's the problem ? I agree that the "dangerous" might be debatable and difficult to prove, but that's not the bit that seems to upset the P.C. mob. Just because one considers one Moslem male to be dangerous, is that insulting all Moslems ?

Yesterday a man was stabbed and killed on train near Guildford.

Although this got a great deal of coverage, and there were detailed descriptions of his clothing and appearance, one vital ingredient was left out. It was barely mentioned that the murderer was black.

[Sisemen]

Get that all the time here. Daren’t call a suspect “aboriginal” for fear of all the bleeding heart lefties jumping on the writer from a great height.

[Capetonian]

In fact, in UK it's got to the stage where if they don't mention 'ethnicity' you know, by omission,that they are non-white. When they're white, it is clearly stated.

[Boac]

Cape - has the colour of the victim been mentioned, and does it matter anyway?

[Capetonian]

Yes it does matter. First of all had it been mentioned from the beginning it might have resulted in a quicker apprehension and charge, although that would not have made any difference to the outcome nor to the tragic death of an innocent person.

The only reason it wasn't mentioned is because of this absurd political correctness which permeates society and speech and the media. I find that cowardly and annoying. Somebody else on this forum referred to 'knife wielding savages' in another context, and that is precisely what some of these people are. I accept that there are also white 'knife wielding savages' but, as a former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police said : "most muggers were black."

Statistics tend to give credence to that, as evidenced by the below, which was published 18 years ago. Would anyone like to guess if that situation has got a) better or b) worse, along with a general increase in street crime and housebreaking.

MORE than a quarter of people accused of crimes in London, ranging from muggings to burglary and fraud, are black, according to new police figures.

It has been clear for some time that black muggers were responsible for the bulk of street crime in London. But these figures, compiled by Scotland Yard for the six months to September this year, show for the first time that black people are accused of all common offences in disproportionate numbers.

The black population of the capital is thought to be no more than 10 per cent. Previously, victims' descriptions of their attackers have been used to gauge the involvement of black men in crime. The new figures are based on the cases where police believe that they have enough evidence to prosecute.

Of 2,719 people charged or cautioned for street crime, 1,682 - 61.9 per cent - were black. Of those, 1,113 children aged 10 to 17 accounted for more than two thirds. Black people accounted for 26.4 per cent of those accused of thefts other than robberies. The percentage for burglary was also 26.4 per cent; for vehicle crime, 26 per cent; for violence against the person, 29.9 per cent; and for fraud, 38.2 per cent.

I have forgotten how many stabbing and murders there were in the London area last year, something around 150 I think. Mostly amongst black communities, and mostly stabbings.

Knife wielding savages does not seem entirely inappropriate.

[OFSO]

Victim was white, quite a decent fellow by all accounts, got into argument on train with black guy, latter followed him to his seat and stabbed him.

Same political correctness (or scrupulous fairness) applied in Spain, however I was told last year it is no longer safe to be out on the streets of the little town of Figueras after dark, because of muggings by, nudge nudge, you know. N Africans in that case.

The current Shadow Home Secretary Ms Abbott made a tweet some time ago "White people love playing 'divide & rule' We should not play their game #tacticasoldascolonialism." , she of course is one of the first to howl outrage if anyone should mention what is happening around us on a daily basis.
The Mayor of London, Sadic Khan, who finds it amusing to insult those who voted for Brexit by his gaudy and tasteless firework display, chooses to spend taxpayers money on his own vanity projects rather than addressing the crime wave engulfing London at the moment.
Until these people are removed and replaced by people who will face the problem squarely as opposed to blaming the white victims for mentioning it the murders will continue by those who are getting away with it.

Here are the unpalatable facts as published by the Gov.UK web site.

I have posted this under 'jokes' but many jokes and generalisations are based on perception and observation.

Thanks, om15, for posting the above. No doubt someone will be along to say it's 'racist' and untrue, and will produce quotes from a left wing rag in support.
