Not directly connected with Political Correctness.
Did you hear of the events in Australia? They are similar to those in France, I think. Do you think it is a common tendency?

I think politicall correctness has gone overboard simply because.

And all those Thomas the Tank Engine fans from kids brace yourself.
The Fat Controller has been stopped from being called The Fat Controller because it is politically incorrect.
He is now, Sir Topham Hat... ::) :8o

It's a kids program for heavens sake!

THE FAT CONTROLLER!!!!!!!!!!!

 This is why if I did politics I would vote for the Raving Monster Looney party  :bd: I mean you only have to look at their 2525 Manicfesto the bit regarding home affairs.

 I will quote it here.

"...Political Correctness is so pervasive in 2525 that it will be illegal to say anything at all in case you offend someone. Sign language will be illegal as well, as will moving, because any movement might be interpreted as a gesture that could cause offence. Therefore we promise to let people speak to each other again. We may even reintroduce the rather scary notion of "free speech", which the New New New Really New Labour party abolished sometime back in 2190.

In addition, anyone found causing offence will be made to paint it with a nice protective coat of Ronseal.
..."


The way we are going it might well get to that in this country.

Exactly! I only heard when a friend of my mums child started calling him Topham Hat and I din't have a clue what the child was on about!!!

My brother (a stand up comedian) has taken it as his personal mission to insult the government every gig he does. I won't bother explaining why as he is a seriously sarcastic person.... like me LOL.

and hey! get in line :P I'll be the first to be done for speech  :D ::) AND PROUD!! :P

We know that, and accept that the child will not care. It is the fact that the people who had it changed thought the need urgent enough to have it done!

As you say, the child doesn't care what the character is called, so what was the point of changing it?

Political Correctness my eye.

The Christmas banned story arose after a junior official working for Lambeth Council renamed the Christmas Lights "Winter Lights".  This is not council policy but it has been taken up by various pro and anti schools of thought and the resulting media circus led to headlines like "Christmas banned".

Wasn't it Lambeth Council, also, who some years ago sent a memo to all schools and pre-school groups in their area informing teachers that in future children should be taught to sing Baa Baa Green Sheep as the term Baa Baa Black Sheep was racist?

No, as in it's something so useless that why are you worried that someone felt the need to change it?

 It's to do with standing for what you believe in, no mater how trivial it might be, obviously people in the government and wishy washers like some here are making a meal out of it. So what is it to you if some people care?

That it's tedious and a waste of time, instead of complaining about the fat controller being renamed, complain about something useful perhaps?
