For an example of self-centred Britain, look no further than Maggie and the 80s, personal profit above all else
Don't make me puke.....
The UK in the 70s was broke, with rampant inflation - remember the 35% Forces pay rise of 1979 to get us back into line?

Well done Airborne Artist, the liberal mouthpieces are always banging on about the so called shame of the 80s yet arrogantly stop short of going further back into the economically disasterous 70s. Hypocrites to say the least. Thanks to that lot we were so poor we couldn't even afford to go to work wildcat strikes, rolling power cuts, government run out of money, services shutdown and of course the restricted work week, INCREDIBLE! In many respects that is an increasing mirror of todays government status and I think the Grumpy Old Sod website actually helps to illustrate that point. The liberals are up in arms when you accuse them of anything with their "hollier than thou" opinions yet casually or fashionably lambast the right with catchphrases that are needless and merely serve to feed their own egos.
Rant over .... for now

Just out of interest, where do people think PC stems from in the UK. Someone must believe in it. Is it the BBC, the education establishment, Labour MP's, the militant left, Polly Toynbee, who???
Pingdit,
"It seems to me that it appeared at about the same time as mass immigration. "
Wow, you mean we've had PC since the 13th Century?

pr00ne - if you want to be clever about history and immigration, you need to go further back than the middle ages. Try Angles, Jutes and Saxons from the nearest Ladybird book.
What ired you? The word "immigration"? Of course, in today's society, one isn't allowed to discuss immigration because that automatically condemns you as a racist.
Outside of Brown's 1984-style regime, it should be perfectly acceptable to discuss the pros and cons of immigration.

political correctness is an invention of the Left. In 1923 a group of Marxist intellectuals came together at Frankfurt am Main University to form what became known as the ‘Frankfurt School.’ Realising that the Russian Revolution was not going to spread to the rest of Europe as they wished, this group of academics concluded that it was essential to change the way people thought and communicated before Marxism could flourish. To achieve this ambitious goal, they developed a theory called ‘Cultural Marxism.’
This theory demanded that Marxist sympathisers indoctrinated the public by infiltrating the ‘cultural institutions’ within a society, including the media and universities. However when Hitler came to power in 1933, this group of Marxist academics fled Germany and settled in the United States. It was on the other side of the Atlantic where they were able to put their theory into practice, but they had to wait till the 1960s.
In the 1960s a ‘cultural revolution’ took place, which gave the cultural Marxists the perfect vehicle to experiment with their theories. They clung to the coat-tails of the civil rights movement and cleverly stoked the anti-Vietnam war fire, even coining the famous phrase ‘Make love not war.’ As a result ‘Cultural Marxism’ became popular on student campuses in the United States in the late 1960s and it spread to Britain in the early 1970s.

Many thanks. Didn't know that.
I read the link and a lot of it seems to stem from 'Racial Awareness Officers' and the rest of the 'non-jobbers' on so many local and district councils. What is going to stop it since it seems to originate in this wretched government?
I'd consider emigrating if I thought anyone would have me.
