Whilst really not your posts point, I have never heard Paisley being described as lovely or quaint.
Has political correctness actually gone mad?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yeah probably, certainly wouldn't say they're the only ones, by a long stretch.
Suffolk alters signs after fears of animal cruelty confusion on the roads
“I had no idea – I had to stop the car and go back to see if I had read the sign correctly. It didn’t make any sense and seemed very gruesome that people would boast that poor domestic animals were being so horribly mistreated."

I've never heard of a road stud before. If I read the new sign I'd be confused.

I would be more confused by road stud too. Makes me think of those anti-homeless studs.That's not PC, it's just stupid.
pawlitical correctness gone mad
The Left is eating itself at this stage.
Imagine what will happen in, say, 10-15 years' time, when the Left breaks out in a civil war and unleashes its maniacal, frenzied rules of engagement on itself. It won't be pretty.
Came here to post that one. Pretty depressing really.
From this year's Edinburgh Festival....

Guy named Robert Lee was pulled of announcing the collage game on ESPN because of name.

So in the outcry the Egyptian students were able to attack people based on their race.

He's actually Asian and they pull him off the game simply for having the name as Robert E. Lee. This is an example of PC gone mad.

It's interesting to think about just what these Egyptian students would actually know about Ancient Egypt if a bunch of white men hadn't dedicated their lives to uncovering its secrets during the 19th and 20th centuries.
I hope Robert Lee sues ESPN for discrimination!
Look at all these liberal ***** getting upset...So what if she's been called a monkey/gorilla in the past and is now being called a man.
Just words...Stupid libtards. Get over it.

I think middle aged, Western males whinging about not being allowed to be offensive is actually what's gone mad.
Recently had long term friends moaning about the 'agenda' of - women's football, not being allowed to make homophobic jokes to bi-sexual co-workers, the damage that Black Lives Matter is doing to America - these are formerly sound minded geezers who I've known for many years.
I say this as a late 30s, Western male who likes footy, women and crude humour, I'm not a 'lib-tard', I'm not a 'feminazi'. But feck me if I'm not tired of hearing my peers whinging about not being given a free-for-all to spout their daft, increasingly bitter nonsense at a World that's changing and leaving their useless asses behind.

So yeah what about them Libtards, eh?
Yup. Completely agree.
Which isn't to say that there isn't a load of silliness and over-sensitivity out there coming from people with very different politics/opinions from your friends.
I dont think it is necessary to take down Nelson's Column.
True mate.
I feel trapped between the two. Spent most of my adult playing in indie/punk bands in my spare time and around scenes like that, and I just feel such a disconnect with the crew who've basically taken over that area of culture - don't mean to sound classist, but upper middle class yuppie types wearing Doc Martens and philosophizing about various first world 'issues' ain't my idea of punk rock, but, at the end of the day, at least they seem to be approaching life from an inclusive view point.
I'd rather my son grew up in their World vision than a more right-leaning one.
It's the bitterness and lack of constructive input from many old mates that saddens me, and in some cases has lead to me drifting away from them.
In fact, in both cases I feel nothing in common with either really. I guess in times when new politic poles/extremes are defined, it's those in the middle who are the most isolated...
Well they've already turned the freaking frogs gay, so how do we know Michelle isn't a man. It's all part of the globalist agenda, by making you think Michelle is a woman they...they uhmm... well you know they just do things to brainwash the masses!
what about the Lizard People - trump must be a reptilian right?
He's sat in one of those Eyes Wide Shut parties right now.
I wanna participate as well in those parties, where can I subscribe?
This is a depressing read. Can you imagine how annoying these prats must be if you’re trying to get an education?
Jesus, just expel them. Cisheteropatriarchy is a hell of a compound word.
Isn’t it? How annoyed would they get if you kept pronouncing the ‘sh’ sound?
Would do it just spite them. Must admit, I had to reread the word three times before I figured it out.
That sounds like a horrible place to go to. If I was a student paying to get an education there, I would be pissed that they had not simply been expelled for disrupting classes
Wow that sounds like South Park-style parody. I wonder how long you could converse with one of these protesters until you a. got accused of being racist/sexist/transphobic/cis or b. ripped your ears off and poured bleach in your eyes so you didn't have to bear witness to them anymore.
It just goes to show that if you look hard enough you can be offended by anything.
I work in humanities (fortunately on this side of the Atlantic where things seem a bit more sane), and this kind of thing makes me not only question if I want to keep doing this but also if I'd encourage my kids to take it up. This is not preparation for going out into the real world, it's the creation of a fantasy world where you can hide from or suppress everything and anything that can potentially upset you.
