...yeah agree with you

I also think that there's a certain amount of bullying, making people feel 'accountable', spitefullness etc about the constantly pulling people up for anything that might appear slightly offensive. It does seem to be a very british middle class conservative zone - very New Labour, very polite.

I remember going to see Jo Brand live on several occasions in the clubs and she was incredibly offensive to people (mainly males) in the audience including the appearance of one of my mates. I didn't get offended by it as it takes a lot to offend me anyway, but can't stand the double standard. Ben Elton - he's another fucker.

I used to think Ben Elton was ok, dont know much about him these days. The real issue for me here though is the fact that the word 'gollywog' includes the word 'wog' which is racist, offensive and inexcusable. And by the way, im born and bred northern working class, and still am, and dont see anything wrong with being PC if it means that you dont use offensive racist (or homophobic, sexist etc) terms. Seems to me that there has been a massive PC backlash which makes people think that it is ok to use offensive language whic, in my mind is total bollocks!
