All of this though is just for fear of causing racial offence and, although silly, I may just be able to see the point.
The stuff I'm really fed up with is the absolutely non-sensical stuff.

Like banning unoin jacks from public buildings, trying to teach young kids twenty seven different religions in school when, basically, they're not even interested in one, and giving MY money to help people in far flung places when I cant find a dentist for my lad. It took me three years to get him assessed for aspergers becase of a staff shortage.
DOES MY 'EAD IN!

or the eu wanting straight bananas

I welcome different ethnic groups and different cultures. Some of my friends are from different ethnic groups and religions, and I find it really interesting learning about their cultures, religion, and traditions.

I think there is a fine line between between being too pc and being draconian. And its a line I think I judge quite well, and am proud of it.

Hence, the woman on the TV this morning had my backing before she started putting her case forward (lets face it, even the most facist person would have to agree that human slavery is disgusting). But within 10 seconds of her opening her gob, she'd completely lost that argument - she was being descremenatry, even racist.

We should welcome other races/religions/cultures into our society - soceity, not societies. So often, many of these ethnic groups create their own soceity rather than want to integrate into ours. Then and us. Conflict.  Additionally, I can understand why many people get frustrated that tax payers money is spent on building religious centres, yet no money goes towards C of E churches.

I used to work for a company that would always give opportunities to coloured, female employees. If lesbian, even better. Thats racism as well.  Had it have been done on ability, fair enough, but it was done to meet targets. White, straight males stood no chance. Again, that causes conflict.


It seems people just do not seem to understand old fashioned common sense.

Exactly.

I'm just the local kid, brought up through normal schools, nought priviledged about my background. Yet how come I seem to have the common sense to know what is and is not fair and right, when the over-educated, priviledged tossers that run the country don't.

The KEY word. It's a rapidly diminishing quality these days.

.......and, by trying to be overly "correct" in everything they do, they just create more feelings of inequality and resentment.

My biggest fear, is that everyone is acutely aware that none of the 3 main parties can deal with this, and tabloids such as the Daily Mail will gently persuade everyone to vote for some real right wingers.

Remember thats how Hitler got in power - he had some good ideas that appealled to the population (which he then took to extremes, and we know the rest).  Some extreme right wing party is going to come up with some policies, which with the help of the tabloid press will appeal to voters.

Omega Owners Forum for PM, we should setup our own Political Party...

I'm with Matt! Get some government funding for it too! All MP's must drive Omega's though.

The killer for me was the baa baa rainbow sheep. Lad I work with has really taken it to heart so now down Salford we see baa baa rainbow dogs and baa baa rainbow cats. I suppose having an 80L paintcode means I've got a baa baa rainbow Omega too. What total stupidity, I'm sure the clown who came up with that one must have been on some pretty strong acid if they were seeing rainbow bloody sheep.

One thing after another, and I'm sure they'll be plenty more to come, I've been pissed off with this country for the passed two years and its not getting any better
