Subject: RE: BS: How the anti-PC mob REALLY works
Here's another seasonal PC scare from the Daily Mail too!

Hyndburn Council, whose head office is in Accrington, Lancashire, sent out an emailed 'memo' to all staff, listing behaviour that could be seen as offensive at the Christmas 'do'.

The email,according to The Daily Mail, sent out by the human resources department, tells workers they should not send offensive presents for Secret Santa.
It also states that staff by the mistletoe should avoid UNWANTED jokes about an individual's private life, unnecessary bodily contact, and suggestive remarks.
It then signs off with a festive greeting.

The Mail continues.....

'But the seasonal guidance has been labelled political correctness gone mad' by Clayton-le-Moors Independent councillor Nick Collingridge.'

This is the same Nick Cillingridge who was given a police caution after breaking into a racist song about Irish and black people while attending a Christmas party funded by the Eavesbrook Housing Association in front of the shocked Mayor and Mayoress.

And what is the headline to this article?

'Council workers banned from kissing under mistletoe'

I can only quote Foolestroupe....'and I'm NOT making this up, you know.... '

But someone at The Daily Mail is!
