Campaign Against Political Correctness
A modern day problem in the UK is political correctness. There are a number of unelected officials who are scared of offending anyone, particularly minorities and thus impose stupid thoughtless restrictions which upset many because of fear of offending some unspecified “They”.
You see examples of this around Christmas where some councils call it Winterval or some equally ridiculous name. Never mind that it upsets many non Christians, so long as it doesn’t offend the unspecified “they”.
Many local Government organisations are particularly rife with this as are UK institutions such as the NHS, Police , Job centres etc. I can’t think of anything more insulting to anyone black or coloured that they might be deemed upset by someone calling a blackboard a blackboard.
The Campaign Against Political Correctness (CAPC) seeks to expose examples of this, refute and ridicule them and shine some common sense in. The founders John and Laura Midgley are not afraid to confront PC in the media, whenever and wherever it occurs.
My only gripe- I think the site is badly in need of a revamp with a fresher look and better site organisation! But the message should go out loud and clear!
