Political Correctness Has Won in the UK
Is this what our future holds?
Robin Page compensated over 'race' arrest
A 64 year-old man was arrested for a "hate crime" for making a smart-ass remark at a country fair. It took 5 years and the use of the UK equivalent of the Freedom of Information Act for him to clear his name.
Bacon gift to Muslim officer costs Pc's job
A police officer, during a "secret santa" exchange, gave one of his fellow officers, who is a muslim, a pack of bacon and a bottle of wine as a joke. Granted, the joke was arguably in poor taste, but the recipient took it as intended, as a joke, and told superiors that he didn't have any interest in filing a complaint. Nonetheless, the officer was forced to resign. Not reprimanded. Not warned. Forced to resign. Over a gag, and one that the recipient didn't appear terribly bothered by.
Political Correctness is a form of mental illness, and it reigns supreme in the UK. Will it get that bad in the US? Only time will tell.
