Has political correctness actually gone mad?

[KirkDuyt]

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't really see the connection between the TV stations making this change and FIFA making corrupt decisions on the destination of the WC.

There isn't really. It's just the reason why my initial response to the subject was a bit prickly (not sure if that's a word). I would love to see fundamental changes with regards to inclusivity instead of these superficial things. I suppose it's not the BBC's fault the world cup is in Qatar

“How can you possibly determine that a talk isn’t what the community wants to hear about when you have no idea what the talk is about?”

Probably for the best i reckon...

Sound strategy. It is well known that when you simply don't talk about bad things, they cease to exist.

Why? She's an historian talking about the history of something. The article is clear in saying this is not an endorsement, just an historical analysis.

Does the Sanna Marin thing fit this thread? Or is being politically correct ok if you're a prude conservative cnut?

I’ve got left wing politics but I want her sacked tbh. I mean who the hell is dancing to Black Eyes Peas - I’ve got a feeling in 2022.

No style, get rid.

Feck me, I watched it with the sound off. Off with her head.

I've Got a Feeling is the new The Final Countdown, whether that's good or bad is up for interpretation but after 40 years it was due a change.

My first memory of the Final Countdown is it being the goal tune for a Scandinavian Ice hockey team at the Olympics. Think it was Sweden... Not sure which Olympics though. Maybe 88? Always been in awe of the song because of it somehow.

Came out in 85 or 86.

My last memory, so far, is from last saturday when a group of 50 year olds belted it out with impressive volume and an interesting form of tune. I hope it's my somewhat younger I've Got a Feeling neighbours' turn to have a party next weekend.

It's funny but I sort of kind of agree. I'm not gonna watch the hunter biden film because I detest Lawrence fox...although tbf he's real and not fictional, I think.

Yet probably throws the term cancel culture around as an insult to lefties.

Confirming that the right of politics is an irony free zone.

That violation makes no sense in relation to the tweet.

I wouldn’t call her a grifting parasite.. maybe a descendant of violent and grifting parasites.. calling her that diminishes how expertly the monarchy have used their power to control and manipulate an entire nation to the point of worshipping their own captors

but that’s just me

I think I'd be going all Jordan Peterson on that one.

Why not have man of the match for the men’s game and woman of the match for the women’s? Am I missing something obvious?

Some are saying that not all men on the pitch will identify as a man. I do agree because we have one that identifies as a GOAT.
