More Political Correctness run amok

And now the vegan 2@s at PETA want the village of Wool to be renamed. They don't think sheep should be sheared, I guess they want them to get all dirty and overheated and die of parasites.

Liverpool could be in trouble then

A pub in York has been renamed, it was previously called the Leg of Mutton

- presumably it is now the 'Stalk of Rhubarb' or the 'Florette of Humanely killed Cauliflower'?

No hope for the 'Queen's Head' I guess...............

Some years ago the same gang got their panties in a bunch and demanded that Fishkill Creek in New York State be renamed. They failed to realize the name dated from the time of Peter Stuyvesant and meant 'Fish Creek.'

There's a street in Cape Town named after an ex-president, in fact, several. It's called Waterkant Street, I suppose they'll have to rename it.

The growing popularity of veganism could lead to a cull of meat and dairy sayings, an academic has claimed.

Phrases such as ‘bring home the bacon’ and ‘killing two birds with one stone’ will go out of fashion to avoid offending animal lovers, according to Shareena Hamzah of Swansea University.

She cited guidance from Peta, the animal rights charity, which wants people to replace expressions such as ‘take the bull by the horns’ with ‘take the flower by the thorns’.

Dr Hamzah said the influence of veganism will raise awareness of animal cruelty and push people towards using less meaty metaphors.

Thanks for the warning, you silly bitch.
What a load of ***** .... oops ... flowerdust?
I shall make a point now of using meaty metaphors in front of anyone who is likely to be offended (friends excepted).

Well that's gonna confuse the sh!t out of the locals. Why not simply ease the changes in with say Grabminge Ave as a start?
