    Is it now impossible to say anything

    Without being labelled racist or homophobic? It seems to me that if you don't follow the state approved line you are the equivalent of a holocaust denier.

    Just watch question time these days, all outdoing each other to apologise about something relatively unimportant.

    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

    Bagpuss, my friend, your are simply experiencing that well worn irritation called political correctness - the pinko liberal do-goody delusionist theory that says it is possible to pick up a turd by the clean end. Stalin would have been proud of their ability to surpress any kind of unapproved debate. So, go on, tell it how it is.

      Yes you can say what you want, as long as you don't personally insult people.
      I'm alright Jack

        Did you know that "AtW is a dense twat" is not an anagram of "My, the weather here in Cambridge is lovely today"?

          You can't go through life being scarred that somebody might 'be offended' just becayse they have some neurotic prickly disposition. If they are offended, I say tough sh*t, gt a social worker, get some counselling and get over it. And after you've done that ******* grow up!

            It also help that they have no idea where you are, so no black eye for any crap you spout. If your not prepared to say it to someone face, keep it to yourself.

                It just isn't fair anymore. I mean no doubt somebody will call me racist when I talk about the fuzzy wuzzies, red sea pedestrains or the bog trotters or some such expression. There was a time when you could call a spade a spade - oh there I go again. Bugger!
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!
