Wow can't believe Godfrey Bloom is not being charged for his foreign aid 'Bongo Bongo land' comment. If someone on Facebook or twitter can be charged with racist comments then how is a member of parliament be any different? This doesn't help people trust politicians it only widens the gap of them and us!

Charge him?! If that is the world you want to live in, please stop this ride so that I may get off.

Hey RR I have to disagree with you on this one mate, for the last 20 years we have gone politically correct crazy and I believe in freedom of speech even things that get said that I despise, unless it is a death threat let them say what they want.

RR!
I agree with free speech Franky! That's my point! It's ok for politicians to have free speech but us mere mortal man can't use that kind of terminology! Maybe I worded my post wrongly! My point was shouldn't the law effect all of the land not just certain individuals

I can't beleive what I heard on the radio. Some woman saying its racist! Absolutely pathetic, people are scared to offend anyone in this country!! If I feel like saying chinese people have slanty eyes then I don't expect to be called racist as its actually a fact, just my point

Listening to Alex Jones the other night and he was talking about how common phrases used in the workplaces in the US can no longer be used like 'brown bagging it' when referring to lunch! There were other phrases which are now deemed racist and unacceptable in the workplace over there which require a history lesson to explain how they may be deemed politically incorrect!

Well it shows you how long this stuff is happening, I went to school were we had a blackboard and there was a gollywog and I grew up in a multi racial area of toxteth, to me this is to conquer and divide people, it was not perfect back in those days but you generally knew who was a racist now its bloody hard with all of this politically correct phrases, I call a spade a spade phrase will probably get you sacked now or questioned, the worlds gone mad.

In Toxteth Franky? I got shot at in Toxteth 2 years ago. I only left the hotel for a kebab haha. But on the whole politically correct thing, I hate it and refuse to keep the things I have to say quiet just because it may offend someone who isn't from here. I mean a woman got sacked because she refused to take off her crucifix as it may offend muslims (these muslims are covered head to toe in a black cloths btw, only showing there eyes). She worked in an airport. I refuse to live in a world like that and I tell younger family members the same!
