And now the snowflakes at University want to censor comedians, making their job impossible.

Why have college "students" since 1964 been such complete and utter leftard ****?

I am quite happy to let them get on with the nonsense - I shall happily ignore them and lose no sleep over it. They of course, will be the losers.

John Cleese, who surely knows a thing or two about how humour works, said:
A sense of humour is a reflection of a sense of proportion. It occurs when the wiser part of ourselves short-circuits a closed system of thought.
This is why most of the PC police have no sense of humour.

Steady on Cap'n Slash, I was a student after 1964 and I am somewhat to the right of Attila the Hun (only marginally left of Cape ). But I studied engineering so had little time for such fripperies, too busy working.

Re: More Political Correctness run amok
I am glad I was born before all this drivel.was promulgated.
School children will be taught that "all genders" can have periods in new sex education lessons, in a victory for transgender rights campaigners.
The advice to teachers was approved by Brighton & Hove City Council as they try to tackle stigma around menstruation.
The new advice follows a council report which said: "Trans boys and men and non-binary people may have periods", adding that "menstruation must be inclusive of all genders".
Bins used for menstruation products will be provided in all toilets for children, according to the report.
Re: More Political Correctness run amok
"menstruation must be inclusive of all genders".
Jeezus Cape that really is truly fuctup from every angle. WTF is "non-binary people" anyway?
I'm sure all this inane ***** will find its way to Oz and NZ soon. No wonder some of us prefer to live comfortably away from such Idiocratic lunacy.

There are advantages, then. I claim the right to be a cantankerous bitch for a few days every month.
