General - Political Correctness Gone Mad
These two stories on annanova snatched my attention the other day. Its just symbolic of political correctness gone crackers.
According to the first story council workers in Newcastle are no longer able to use local terms when addressing customers over the phone or in person. Those poor Geordies.
‘According to The Sun one employee said: "It's like they are trying to kill the Geordie
language. We are scared to talk to anyone now."
Tory Euro MP for the North East Martin Callanan said: "These are traditional North
East terms of affection. I can't believe anyone would be offended by them.’’
A Norfolk council is banning long service awards in case they are perceived as ageist. This is barking!
‘Local Age Concern worker Luis Santos added: "This is totally outrageous - absolute
madness. If a person is 60 or 70 and going to get an accolade they wouldn't see it as being branded old. "It is very good for people when their contribution and achievements are recognised.’
