Disgraceful PC gone mad

[????]

....I despair to be honest, such bowing to 'sensitivity'

I can understand the sentiment from the member of staff, and am sure it was done in good faith, following alleged previous "incidents" involving other members of the public and people in uniform. However, such a suggestion shouldn't and wouldn't have to be made if we lived in a country where we actually had universal respect and admiration for the people who defend our rights and freedoms. It's part of a wider disgraceful PC culture which should not be allowed to overcome common sense and decency.

It's the result of ridiculous PC driven 'Diversity' training which is compulsory in all echelons of the Public Sector...imagine if someone in a Burkha was asked to leave an A&E waiting room, god forbid.

Tbh I'd be quite happy to be moved away from the crowd of drunk and/or deranged individuals next time I end up in A&E. I might look for some kind of military uniform on eBay.

I'm with you there Jez. I'd invest in one too if it allowed me to be moved away from the various scumbags you find hogging A&E with their drink/drug/violence related problems, draining the system. But I agree with quids it's the diversity training which is at fault here, a total lack of common sense. When I was younger people would actively stop a car or bus etc to give a person in the armed forces thumbing a lift. The level of respect was immense, and now it appears that has flipped on its head.

8/10 Quids.

And what Jeremy said.

If people in and out of uniform hadn't put their lives on the line to defend freedom and democracy in the 2 world wars of this century then who knows where we would be now. Short memories and ignorance imo

Didn't realise defence cuts had hit so hard.
