I'm not sure I've even seen any faggots since I left the Black Country five years ago.
You still see a fair few faggots in Wales.I'm not sure I've even seen any faggots since I left the Black Country five years ago.
You ever indulged? I've barely eaten red meat since I was about five, so never really been on the radar. Can't say they sound particularly appetising.You still see a fair few faggots in Wales.
Oh yes, definitely, I like a good faggot. I eat a lot of meat, and a lot of red meat particularly.You ever indulged? I've barely eaten red meat since I was about five, so never really been on the radar. Can't say they sound particularly appetising.
You could get yourself killed around here saying that.Are faggots basically just the English version of a haggis?

Or if not killed, certainly scowled at quite severely.
Pork fagnots.So they're now trying to force the restaurant and food trade to change the name of pork faggots to something else.
Ideas for new name???
They are most certainly not. They only came to Wales after people from the Black Country went there to work.Are they Welsh?! Feck me. Big booboo, if so. My mum is half Welsh.
I dont think they are Welsh, I think they belong to both nations. I think the Welsh would prefer them to be called British.Are they Welsh?! Feck me. Big booboo, if so. My mum is half Welsh.
Quite possibly. But theyve been here that long now that they are naturalised, and eligible to play for the national team.They are most certainly not. They only came to Wales after people from the Black Country went there to work.

Theyre not kebabs. Not even close. But then what is?Faggots are banging to be fair, used to get them down the chippy at lunch.
I read this through twice wondering what the hell it had to do with faggots. And then realised it was me that had gone on a tangent, not you.Started to notice this internet trend of late, particularly on Twitter, where people will not only be offended by silly things, but will actually take something that isn't offensive in any way, and create an agenda around it in order to put it into a context where they can pretend it is. Just so can then go on a do gooder rampage against it. Plenty of examples of this with the recent Raheem Sterling being picked on trend.
It's one thing when idiots are over reacting with their PC hat on, another when actually intelligent people are creating problems that aren't there just so they can be seen as being the good guy.

usually a handful of people on twitter who are never heard from againWhat exactly is 'the PC movement'? Seeing as we are now painting them as the bad guys... I say we but I mean you guys.
not really, they're innocuous if stupid tweets that are then highlighted by blogs/right wing new sites at which point a handful of people start sending them death threats or death threats and rape threats if they're women and they're run off the internetSounds more like extremists then doesn't it?

Apparently we should rename female body parts, as they were all named by the men who discovered them.
Your licence fee pays for this rubbish:

sounds reasonable tbhOne problem, says Lera Boroditsky, associate professor of cognitive science at UCSD, is that eponyms perpetuate the notion that advances are made by one individual – rather than the long collaborative process central to the process of scientific discovery. She argues for a system “that is not centred around the historical victories of men ‘discovering’ body parts”. Instead, these terms should be replaced by descriptors that are useful and educational to the body’s owner.
Perhaps we can also just keep the old names, just for reference and so people who studied medicine don't have to retake courses.sounds reasonable tbh
I just assumed you meant anyone who espouses PC views so wondered why you were being disingenuous, but @Silva has highlighted the distinction that I would have made while pointing out that most are just mouth pieces. I think a more descriptive term would be better tbh....I don't know if they are bad guys - but as i said, its simply groups attempting to wield power - either verbally or otherwise - around a particular issue that they deem to be offensive.
Probably not irl, but on the internet this a travesty! For some it seems....Also, I doubt I will ever meet anyone who actually cares about this.

I suggested extremists as we're talking about the fringe but I'm sure there's something better.
I don't think the fringe/extremist angle is appropriate here. Its simply groups seeking power by fighting to have their version of social norms included in the mainstream and other groups seeking to retain the existing power structure. You can pick and choose any conceivable issue within that framework.

In the same way groups attempt to wield power by using terms such as 'the PC movement' to describe opinions they disagree with.I don't know if they are bad guys - but as i said, its simply groups attempting to wield power - either verbally or otherwise - around a particular issue that they deem to be offensive.

Examples of groups please? For all I know you're talking about LGBT or BLM, in which case I'll stick to claiming its the fringe elements of those groups.

You just mean trying to highlight fcukery or affect the change they would like to see. In which case as you were, and more power to them... But, it doesn't seem like that's what you meant does it?the entire thrust of the PC movement is for groups and individuals to gain power by staking out a position of vilifying something. Its basically using morality as a device to wield power over another group.
It's so that peeps like yourself can feel outraged and give them hits I guess.I doubt it too, but that article somehow made its way to the headline of the BBC website.

So, like I assumed, you were just making an incorrect generalisation to make a point.Choose any group you like that has a grievance against a perceived historical imbalance
