Subject: RE: BS: Extreme Violence on the beach ( UK )
Well said, DtG! People nowadays are far too ultra-sensitive and see Political Incorrectness and incipient insults round every corner. And as you say, probably the folk they're trying to 'protect' aren't in the least bothered. Soon we'll all be frozen in fear at the thought of doing anything at all, and will stand like cloned robots, restricted and hedged about by no end of warnings. Look at the fiasco about cuddling little children in nursery daycare if they fall over. The staff are told not to touch them. And that unfortunate dinner lady who allowed a 7yr old Muslim child to select a gammon meal. Out she went forthwith. Punch is 'too violent', The Famous Five 'too middle class', golliwogs 'racially insulting', the Bacup Coconut Dancers horrifyingly 'colonial', almost any kind of jokes are 'unacceptable'. What sort of a world is this we're moving towards? Bland, humourless, cold and 'correct'. Makes me shudder! Bring on lots more Violence On The Beach!
