A serial rapist serving a life sentence in a hospital's secure mental unit (who escaped for the second time in three years) was apparently able to do so as he was described as a "medium secure patient" and, when he was transferred to another hospital for treatment, staff did not understand the risk he posed.  The inquiry report into the incident concluded, "Consideration therefore is required as to how we portray or use common language whilst remaining sensitive to the patient's treatment needs."

Rapist released as staff don't understand PC language, 2 May 2008

"As a gay man of mixed race I vehemently oppose positive discrimination and "equal opportunity" quotas.  Apart from the fact that I find them patronising, I feel they are counter productive and only serve to further segregate people."  Paolo Fragale, Greater Manchester 24.03.08

"I am a 16 year old student, I am half British half Asian. PC just makes me want to leave the UK and live in New Zealand (where I was born), it is a lot more free. The teacher stopped me saying Brainstorm, and I used to be able to say baa baa black sheep when I was a little kid, but not anymore. Its stupid and not funny anymore, we need free speech here in Britain."  Keri Todd, Leicestershire 03.03.08

"Britain is so afraid of looking "wrong" and "offending" people it's becoming absolutely ridiculous! Britain is losing it's identity & it's sense of humour." Michelle Gallocher, Glasgow 11.04.08 

"I'm a gay man, and I would think it pointless, hypocritical, and bizarre to ban heterosexual couples from going to their prom for example.  There are already laws against the incitement of violence. Beyond that what do we need? The freedom of speech is not just the freedom of the speaker, BUT THE FREEDOM OF THE LISTENER.  Everyone may talk about PC being there to protect people against being "offended" which is so vague as to be pathologically stupid." Anonymous, 20.03.08

"My parents were on a cruise in the Caribbean and, on the way, they were showing the movie 'The Queen'. During the movie, each time the word God was used, they bleeped it out. They even did it during the national anthem!"

"I was told by a prospective employer that taking me on could be difficult as they need to up their ethnic quota.  How bad is that?"

"I overheard a teacher at my College explaining that it is non pc to describe a female actor as an actress - as apparently the first actresses hundreds of years ago were actually prostitutes. How many people know that, and how many actresses care?"

Sir, In his letter (March 7), Roscoe Howells very amusingly satirises the politically correct world in which we all find ourselves living at the minute. Indeed, a chairman of a meeting should be quite offended to be called a chair, as this would indicate that they could easily be sat on! In the same vein, we have heard tales of ‘manholes’ being re-named ‘access holes, ‘ploughman’s lunches’ being changed to the more ‘gender neutral’ title ‘ploughperson’s lunches’ and ‘blackboards’ being re-named ‘chalkboards.’ This begs the question, whatever next? The ‘The Tenby Non-Observer’ in case the term ‘Observer’ offends those who can’t see?

John Midgley Co-author of the Politically Correct Scrapbooks in the Tenby Observer.
