PC brigade?


If it made you chortle then what's wrong with it.

Surely we can all determine the difference between

offensiveness & humor.

It's also on TV, so if it does offend then change channel.

Simples.


Monty Python wouldn't stand a chance these days....

which is a gross shame. In fact its wrong IMO

I mean that because of PCness, Monty Python just wouldn't be allowed to be aired.

In fact i recall that in Ireland it wasn't allowed first time round? (life of Brian)

With Little Britain and Harry being on TV I don?t see any sign of Pcness stopping anything


And there is nothing in Monty Python that would upset the ?PC Brigade?


You are just having a pop at Pcness and attributing things to it when it isn?t getting the way of anything at all here

That's not entire true whilst i understand why you say that :)

But Monty was banned because of blasphemy for 28years.

Listen dammit! Don?t you know that there is an organised regiment of lily-livered liberals ready to pounce on and persecute any decent person who gets amusement out of singling out the differences of another group and using them as a tool for mockery?


It is PC gone mad I tell you.


You can?t even mock a cripple these days without the bloody PC brigade getting on your case.

pearson - Confusing arch-conservative Catholic-driven government policy with what people think of as political correctness is just bonkers? or just divilment. I'm inclined to think the latter


Ridgely - thank you for the kind words - I had already corrected myself. But flake away

Sean - Ok, but ultimately i think things have changed.

Just an observation, but interestingly I would guess broadcasting was fairly PC in the early days (50s)

Then in my view became fairly liberal (non pc) during the 70s/early80s

But I think this decade is seeing an albeit slight return to more sensorship /PCness

for more contemporary reasons of course.


I have no hard facts to back this up of course :)

I?m pretty sure you can see much more on TV now than you could do at any point in history. More sex, politicians aren?t treated with undue-respect, more language and on and on. Casual racism not so much. I think that?s a pretty decent trade-off don?t you?


If Mind your Language is doing well in the West Indies that?s entirely up to them ? but it was being broadcast here in the UK in the same decade as the Conservative party were campaigning in and around Birmingham with the slogan ?'If You Want a Nigger for a Neighbour Vote Liberal or Labour' and a period which many West Indians were victimised. If Ridgely feels more comfortable in the UK in 2010 it?s largely down to people not standing for that kind of stuff any more

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
