I think it was the disgustingly poorly scripted and patently insincere "People's Princess" monologue from "Call me Tony" that perhaps got many of us seriously thinking about the dilution of "British" values.
Words and phrases such as " Spin" , "Celebrity", "Dumbing Down", "Political Correctness", "Street Wise", "Human Resources ", "Minority rights", "Equal Opportunities" , "ASBO", "Cultural identity" , "Political Refugee", "Economic Migrant" and "Bonus Payment" amongst many others have all crept increasingly into our vocabularies over recent years.
I wonder why.
