Mail receivedDear Sir, Thank you for all the work you have put into your website. I find you make a compelling case and your contribution to the debate adds a great deal. You`ve probably already seen and read Anthony Brownes booklet "The Retreat of Reason", I think your site compliments it very well. Your are unfortunately going to find yourself as much a victim of political correctness as it is possible to be, due to the fact that you openly criticise it - one of the primary taboos!! I have been shocked over the last 10 years or so to see PC come into the mainstream and so thoroughly brain-wash people who might otherwise be perfectly sensible. This has happened on so many levels and in so many ways that we might be forgiven in thinking that it is a natural evolution, or more frightening, people might think that what they are witnessing is a civilising of our nation, instead of what it really is. It is very easy to look at PC and come up with a conspiracy theory that suggests it has been carefully engineered to dumb down populations, to make them malleable and controllable, to make them less intellectually rigorous, to make them incapable of independant original thought. My background and education was in art, particularly theories of art, and the facility to put oneself beyond the mainstream and look back as though an outsider means that self-awareness and perceptive skills are the most important of all. For a creeping, intrusive, mind-numbing 'political' ideology to deliberately target the capcity to see things as they actually are is terrifying. I think Blair, Campbell and Brown will come to be known to future historians and the three horsemen of the PC apocalypse. They make not have invented PC and marketing spin, but they perfected it and exploited it to the detriment of us all individually and collectively. I think future schoolchildren will be taught late 20th century history as an example of one of the lowest points in our entire history, the Era of the Retreat of Reason if you like, much as I was taught about World War 2 as a warning that should never be forgotten. Did you notice that until Blair left power nobody felt able to even use the word 'immigration'? Now we may use the word, but not discuss the topic, unless we trot out the PC platitudes. I use a simple experiment to tackle the subject. Imagine every man woman and child on the planet was of the same ethnicity, and nationality. Remove any possibility of racism from the argument. Each nation in the world is still run by its own government (of whatever type) and each has it`s own currency, laws, budget and so on. But, being of the same nationality, people thoughout the world may still want to move from one country to another, for all the same reasons they do now. Under those circumstances, with no chance of accusations of racism, would the government want to control the number of people coming into Britain (a small crowded island) or at the very least COUNT them as they come in, and ensure that sufficient of them find gainful employment and contribute to the running of the country through taxation to offset those people who take more than they contribute? The answer has to be yes. I see it as simple management, on a national scale this sort of management is called 'government'. Which brings us back to your points about the three main parties and their equal uselessness. I apologise for the long email. I`m glad the PC nonsense hasn`t quelled your optimism and energies and will celebrate with you once the PC bubble finally gets burst. Regards Gareth Hello Thank You For so eloquently stating what so many people in the UK are thinking right now. That is the best short piece of literature I have read for a very long time. The truth is so often more interesting than fiction. Thanks again Ian Tyers I strongly agree with your site. What can I do to help fight this evil? Iain Cathro Excellent reading, Fully agree with everything especially the Children line. William Hanson (who would like to melt down the PC brigade and turn them into bog rolls). I agree with all you said I knew before I read your site ive known for a long time good to see someone is telling the truth there are many sites that tell you what you know already and I will never vote labour ever I'm so pleased people are out there telling the truth well done Sandra Hi – Love your website. Just read this on the army blog site…….made my day. Were all doomed. "Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous liberal press which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." All the best Paul I was really enjoying your website until i came across the statement ' obnoxious parties like the BNP'. Why are they obnoxious? Hi Steve Forgive the tardiness of my reply but I have been very busy recently. This is the one question I get asked more than any other and I think I shall have to start a FAQ section! Whilst I agree that the BNP share the broad aims of common sense that I do, there are certain things that I find repugnant about the party. What it needs is a complete make-over and some well respected figure to run it, although I think it would be hard to find one to run it as it stands now. You may not find their mission statement racist but the majority of people do. In the UK, if a party is to be successful it must be open to all or it will be considered ‘racist’ (I hate that term) as it clearly is by broad definition. OWN GOAL No 1. (I agree that the Black Police Association etc is as well and should be ashamed of itself). When you do see a BNP person on TV (rare and they should be given equal airtime as anyone else), they nearly always appear shifty, nearly always have short cropped hair and look like a thug or in the case of Nick Griffin (who doesn’t fit either of those) is always surrounded by six knuckle draggers who do. Yes I know he needs protection from the loony left but it all looks strangely reminiscent of the early 1930s and I have to say I think this is deliberate. OWN GOAL No 2. The BNP don’t get a fair hearing (deliberately). I think all points of view should be heard as it is only by allowing free speech that you know what parties are actually thinking. They should be allowed to speak and let people make their own minds up. I once was in a university debate against Colin Moses and Brian Caton (chairman and secretary of the Prison Officers Association). They told me afterwards that they spend most of their time weeding out members of the BNP from their union. Bizarre, I said. But of course the BNP have played right into their hands by not being open to all and by tolerating thug members who think Paki bashing is OK. (as caught out by the BBC) Kind regards
Howard Hello I come from a council estate in Aylesbury. Both parents left school at 14. I attended Aylesbury Grammar School and Nottingham University. I am now semi-retired but have done some supply teaching in comprehensive schools and teach 'writing skills' to adults in public sector organisations. I have also read and enjoyed Melanie Phillips's book 'All Must Have Prizes'. I am a Guardian-reading, reluctant Labour voter. I agree with most of what you say about education today suffering from decades of trendy teaching methods and 'liberating' abandonment of school discipline. The attacks on Grammar Schools represent a death wish in a nation with a long tradition of scientific and technological innovation. I also work as a volunteer guide at Bletchley Park and have noticed that most of Britain's successful code breaking activities during the war were conducted by the products of an elitist education system: people who understood the classics, mathematics, logic, foreign languages and so forth; not people who couldn't add up or barely write a coherent English sentence. It also helped that they were highly intelligent. Educational success in this country is determined by parental attitude supporting innate ability. Social research discovered that way back in the 50s. The comprehensive idea is doctrinaire. No doubt there are good comprehensives but I suspect they owe much to intake areas. The ones I have worked in appalled me. I watched Clare Short in a television documentary have a go as a teacher in a comprehensive school. She hadn't got a clue, but full marks at least for trying. Government ministers really have no idea of the general state of indiscipline, innumeracy and illiteracy that our schools are responsible for; or they don't want to know. They deny dumbing down of standards and exams but I find it hard to believe otherwise. It is substantial dumbing down, as well. Children are not encouraged to study subjects which are both practical and useful in their own right and which can also serve as planks for further development in the scientific and technological fields. Without investing in these subjects and teaching them well in disciplined schools our future as a manufacturing and scientifically advanced nation is very bleak. We should also invest in our most gifted and intelligent children rather than focus persistently on remedial philosophies and doctrines at the bottom end of the ability range. Still, I mustn't complain too much. I do make a living out of teaching things to adults that they should and could have learned at school. I wish Cameron had the guts to say some of these things and support the grammar schools. Best wishes, Mike Saunders Dear Sir I completely concur with excellent cogent analyses of the abomination called Political Correctness. The answer to the problem is to leave the EU and sack the Lib-Lab-Con alliance. I was denied a crack at the 11+ so had to settle for a middle school. I did reasonably well at Middle School, however upon entry in Comprehensive School with all its lefty teachers and playground thugs my whole experience of school became a nightmare. It was not until my thirties that I began to claw back some of what I had lost; and largely due to a very supportive spouse I am at least in a profession and am able to cater for my family’s needs. I am determined not to let my children go down the road I once trod, I am now turning my spare time to anti Marxist activism. With best wishes Paul. was followed by - 'Your first mistake' Dear Sir You openly attack the BNP, all they do is espouse a similar stance to you in most respects. I think you have knee jerked here, they have changed. The only difference between them and you is that they unashamedly stand up for the settled indigenous population. In their mission statement they refer to and I quote “We use the term indigenous to describe the people whose ancestors were the earliest settlers here after the last great Ice Age and which have been complemented by the historic migrations from mainland Europe. The migrations of the Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, Norse and closely related kindred peoples have been, over the past few thousands years, instrumental in defining the character of our family of nations” I’m sorry but I don’t find that racist or offensive. I think you will also find that they have dropped the policy of forced repatriation and replaced it with incentives for repatriation for those who cannot conform to our laws our customs and freedoms or identify more closely with there own cultural heritage. What I find most galling is that people like yourself will not criticise those who have membership to organizations such as OBV and MCOGB which if judged by the same yardstick would be classed as extremely racist (please except my upfront apology if you have criticised such groups). Can I at least suggest that you re-examine there manifesto/mission statement. I don’t agree with everything they put forward but to jump on that PC bandwagon and entirely dismiss them on grounds of being racist is the complete antitheses of everything this site and you stand for… is it not? Regards Paul My answer was:- Hi Paul I’m not too sure who is knee jerking here! Whilst I agree that the BNP share the broad aims of common sense that I do, there are certain things that I find repugnant about the party. What it needs is a complete make-over and some well respected figure to run it, although I think it would be hard to find one to run it as it stands now. You may not find their mission statement racist but the majority of people do. In the UK, if a party is to be successful it must be open to all or it will be considered ‘racist’ (I hate that term) as it clearly is by broad definition. OWN GOAL No 1.

Yes I know he needs protection from the loony left but it all looks strangely reminiscent of the early 1930s and I have to say I think this is deliberate. OWN GOAL No 2. Personally I am colour blind; two Asian lads came into our local (very white Georgian Market town) and were accepted straight away because they were exactly like us - liked a drink and fun. They even moved into the town and said it was far better than the main town 8 miles away where they were likely to get beaten up. I certainly am a ‘culturist’ though but anyone who wants to live like us is welcome (in the right numbers!) Mass immigration causes people to congregate with their own and hence never integrate. The BNP don’t get a fair hearing (deliberately). I think all points of view should be heard as it is only by allowing free speech that you know what parties are actually thinking. They should be allowed to speak and let people make their own minds up. I once was in a university debate against Colin Moses and Brian Caton (chairman and secretary of the Prison Officers Association). They told me afterwards that they spend most of their time weeding out members of the BNP from their union. Bizarre, I said. But of course the BNP have played right into their hands. So I think there is but a whisker between our two viewpoints but I think I am looking at the problem more practically. We need a lot of changes in this country but I am not sure the Conservatives will deliver. So I am saying there needs to be a new untainted party for the mainstream voters to rally behind (I am sure the mood is there) but the BNP as it stands is not it. Kind regards
Howard Dear Sir, Your website is brilliant. I'm going to put a link to it from my website. I have a page on my Double Glazing Repairs site that links to a video on Google about Common Purpose. I don't know if you've heard of Common Purpose but take a look on Google video and watch the presentation by Brian Gerrish. It's a bit slow to start but will reveal some interesting facts. There is so much to read on your site that I've only just read the first page. I don't know about you but I feel the mass conciousness is beginning to wake up. Kindest regards and thanks for giving me some more reading. Will link to you later when I get some spare time to play with my Dreamweaver.
Of course I agree with your article. the truths and facts are there for all to see. I do, however, disagree slightly with your feelings for David Cameron. The Conservative party went into the last three elections with a more typical Tory manifesto and lost. Mainly due to Labour gerrymandering, however, they still lost overall, despite winning in England. Since then Labour continue to change voting patterns by boundary changes and importing more left wing voters. The current Tory lead, whilst apparantely good, is subject to a fickle and cowed electorate. The Conservatives are the only party other than labour that can win the next election, thus they are the best hope. Therefore, they must say whatever is necessary to win. At the last election, David Cameron wrote the manifesto. It failed to capture the imagination of the voters, but I can't believe that he has totally changed his views. He is doing a Blair, and telling people what they want to hear. It will take several years to get into power, sort out the economic mess this government have got us into. Root out the lefty stooges in the Civil Service, local and central government, the BBC etc etc. Until then, he cannot stand on a truly Conservative platform without being pilloried by the left leaning media. He will need support to make change possible in a second and third term to right the wrongs of the past eleven years. If you read the manifesto of the BNP, it is largely in line with traditional Tory values, yet their percentage of the vote is miniscule, mainly because the media always brand them 'the racist BNP'. This would surely happen to Cameron if he went down that route. But, keep up your good work. Britain needs sites and movements like yours. The only worry is that there are such a vast array of small groups in the UK and across Europe. In this way the voice of the majority is being divided and conquered. Have you or others tried to bring all this opposition together with one coherent voice. Imagine a movement for democratic change across europe with 10's of millions of supporters. This would surely empower Cameron to talk with greater freedom, thus we would all get what we want. Hopefully this is constructive. Kind regards Neil, Glos. I received a booklet from Essex County Council titled "The future of waste in Essex".At the end of the book were some questions on recycling. This was followed by question 10 Your Ethnicity(with asterisk)The other asterisk stated These are the categories used by the Government in the 2001 census. This implied their right to ask and my obligation to answer, both of which are wrong. David Clayton You seem like a very angry person. Have some Horlicks. Zachary Brooks Hi Love the site BTW One thing that makes me laugh about the PC is the way it shoots itself in the foot. My wife, who comes from Hungary, when at university studying midwifery was faced with having to write an explaination as to why her dissertation was below par due to her being "foreign" and not too good at academic English. The course leader made her re-word her letter to take out the word "foreigner". Surely this implies that being "foreign" On a larger scale it cringeworthy how we subject western affairs to such minute scrutiny, analysing every nuance for signs of incorrectness and yet certain african groups can go from village to village chopping off childrens' hands and no-one knows or cares who is responsible. It's like we measure them with a different yardstick. Or we are superior and should conform to much higher moral standards than they. Thanks for the rant Paul P. Same thing in New Zealand. Christopher J Miles Dear Sirs, As you would presumably guess after having read articles on your website, I am both entertained and angered or perhaps more accurately frustrated. Political correctness (PC) is not a new phenomenon (I didn’t know about the Frankfurt school) and from personal experience I noticed these subtle nuances by the mid to late 70’s although I was not aware that this was, what is today well known as, political correctness. As you indicate on the website, it just seemed to me as something that was warped or anti commonsense thinking. I used to laugh about it and discussed the issue with my wife, who is very practical and assumed that she would think of it in a similar vein. She worked for a government funded organisation that promoted all sorts of organisations on business initiatives but most of the funding was for local authorities and the like. (You can just imagine the weird projects that were being funded) Contrary to my assumptions she suggested that I should be careful and not to express too vehemently my views at the office where I held a senior management post. It was not so much that she approved of PC more that in her line of work this was becoming an important issue and those who didn’t comply; well you know the scenario. Unfortunately, for me I did not heed her warnings. Being a strong advocate of “freedom of speech”, for everybody, I couldn’t take these warnings seriously. As the years passed PC took a strong grip on people’s thinking and within my own company much of the training, both in-house and external took on a PC bent. My blood pressure went up and the inevitable result was a none too subtle effort to remove me from my influential position. In 1998 I resigned. I am not by nature a naïve person but in this respect I was completely naïve. My wife on the other hand simply acquiesced (not that she necessarily agreed) and went on up the greasy pole to the top. We split up, regrettably, and I left UK in 1998 to work abroad in numerous countries where PC is meaningless term. I still travel and live abroad, currently in Indonesia and my blood pressure is well under control. The point of the story and I have had many years to reflect, is the pernicious and evil effect that PC has on Western society. It is not just another issue that confronts the West or the UK, it is THE issue; it is the catalyst for all the ills that plagues our country. The promotion of PC mushroomed under the Blair government and there has been no let up under Brown. The saddest effect of this evil is the demise of the world class media organization, the BBC. What has occurred within the organization is nothing short of criminal. I watch BBC World every day, not because I believe everything that is reported, I don’t, but I use their slant on the news to enable me to reach a more accurate version of reality, by mentally revising what I see and hear, in the same way that one might correct oversteer or understeer in one’s car. Incidentally, one of the best news agencies is Al Jazeera, it is not as PC as the BBC. As an ex Tory voter (haven’t voted since the buggers stabbed Mrs T in the back) I am still very political in my outlook but could never vote for a David Cameron lead party. I am very concerned about the future of the UK and like a great many ordinary people who are sick to death of unfettered immigration, multiculturalism, Islamification, politicising of police, a warped outlook on law and order, the betrayal on the EU treaty, the blatant discrimination against indigenous Britons, in favour of foreigners, on a raft of social issues and employment and much else besides, I am an active supporter (not member) of the BNP. They are the only hope left for the indigenous British people. However I fear time will run out before the BNP are in a position to influence events in the UK and that social unrest or even worse is almost inevitable. Yours sincerely, Ross
Heartily agree with your page about Political Correctness - but especially with the cartoon. It applies equally well to Canada - just substitute "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" for "1st Amendment" and it is a perfect comment on Canada's so-called Human Rights Tribunals and the way they act as combinations of Thought Police and Kangaroo Courts. I have just stumbled across your website whilst searching the internet. I read your introduction and agreed with every word! I recently submitted an article to the Dail Mail, hoping they would publish it. I haven't heard from them yet, although they warned me they rarely publish unsolicited articles. I have attached a copy for you to read. If you wish you can publish it on your site, although it makes many of the same points you raised in your introduction. I work in the legal profession and have first hand experience of political correctness in action. If you would like me to research any areas for you or write on any subject, please ask and I will be happy to do so. I just wish people would listen to what we are saying! Hamish Hi, My business partner e-mailed me your link and I love the site, it could have been me writing most of this Regards Derek Hi, I got to your website via A Policeman’s Blog – Policewoman’s Blog & I have now added it to my favourites. Agree with you 100% - PC is completely wrong & is used not only to try & stifle free speech but also to force us to THINK in a PC way. I launched my own personal subversive response around 2 weeks ago, I tell at least 1 non-PC joke or make at least 1 non-PC comment daily. Humour is the most effective mode of attack I feel, as if something is being laughed at, how can it be taken seriously? A prime example of this is Gordon Brown – a lot of his unpopularity is due to his policies & actions (lack of integrity etc). However, his unpopularity would not have been half so bad (for him) if people hadn’t started mocking him & calling him names and generally making a laughing stock of him - Gollum, Incapability Brown, Indecision Brown, Brown the Clown, Bottler, Bottler Macavity etc & I think this is what will eventually bring him down. So, keep going & maybe one day, PC will be brought down too. Regards,
Ruth Hello I agree with everything you say - that's why I don't vote, and never have, sice 1979. This was to get those damned unions out and restore businesses back to their owners... The main oppressors of course are the americaans - see how PC they're becomming: they lead, we follow. Allen "Calling a black man "a fucking lazy n*gger" is certainly offensive to that person. Ron says he was disappointed in the man's performance during the match. If he had called him "a fucking lazy bastard" or "a fucking lazy wanker" would that have been less offensive to the man? It certainly would have knocked any serious idea of racism on the head (although the PC brigade would have still have complained bitterly as it was said about a black man) but would the recipient be any less upset or offended? " Bryan The world-famous Red Arrows have been banned from appearing at the 2012 London Olympics because they are deemed "too British". Organisers of the event say that the Arrows military background might be "offensive" to other countries taking part in the Games. The display team have performed at more than 4000 events worldwide, but the Department of Culture, Media and Sport have deemed the display team "too militaristically British". Red Arrows pilots were said to be "outraged", as they had hoped to put on a truly world class display for the Games, something which had never been seen before. Being axed from a British-based event for being "too British" is an insult - the Arrows are a symbol of Britain. The Red Arrows have been excellent ambassadors for British overseas trade, as they display their British-built Hawk aircraft all over the world. The Arrows performed a short flypast in 2005 when the winning bid was announced, but their flypast at the Games was to have been truly spectacular. It is to be hoped that common sense prevails If you disagree with this decision, sign the petition on the link below http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/RedArrows2012/?ref=redArrows2012

I just followed a link from iwantareferendum.com and spent some time reading your articles. I am totally sick of our country today, partly due to political correctness, partly due to a total lack of common sense. From schooling to policing, to the EU I am totally sick of it. Please tell me when someone will actually stand for government – as the ‘ common sense party’ Spend money on : education, law & order and health. Ignore what sounds good but do what is right. Know one I have spoken too agrees with many of the policies or legislations handed down to us by the EU, Government or local councils but none of us really have a voice and none of us have a real alternative. As soon as there is a ‘common sense party’ let me know, I will vote for it, support it, even be a candidate! I cannot stay in the UK unless something changes SOON! That is no threat, most would not notice I have gone but at least, perhaps I could sleep at night and not get annoyed each time I read the paper or watch the news. Thanks for listening,
Colin
Absolutely spot on.It's very dangerous crap which is crippling us and denying our right to free speech. Only upon it's demise will we, without being, ourselves, criminalised be able to turn back the tide of criminality, mediaeval cultures and murderous religion that has come to our shores, threatening our existence as a nation. I have quit teaching as I have no power to control the children and I have endured being called a f***in' A, B, C, D, P, T or W once too many times. PC is resistant to a return to respect, manners and morality since anything goes these days. I have just read the article on your home page However, I apologise to what may seem a trivial criticism, but I couldn't resist mentioning it. On your home page, you list; "The Frankfurt school recommended (amongst other things): 1. the creation of racism offences I agree with every point on that list. However, I have a pedantic quarrel with the choice of semantics used on point number 8 where you say "an unreliable legal system with bias against the victim". Instead using the word "victim", I would recommend replacing it with the word "defendant". My reasons for recommending this alteration is because the word "victim" would seem to imply "defendant" (for this is what I think you were implicating?). A bias court system under a totalitarian government may well be in favour of the "victim", and not "against the victim" as you put it. For example, the "victim" could possibly be the state. Hypothetically, the case could well be the breach of newspeak, (i.e. a dissenting opinion from the individual against the states ideology), and thus the defendant isn't entitled to a fair trial because the state is naturally the victim of your "nasty" Another example is the governments aim to increase rape trial convictions. A good way to secure a higher conviction rate is to unfairly assume prior to litigation, that the male defendant is the guilty rapist, and the female prosecutor is the innocent victim. Thus, the male defendant is put in a 'guilty until proven innocent' scenario. But the question is this; is the women truly the "victim"? Perhaps she cried "rape"? Or perhaps she is the victim because she said "yes" to sexual intercourse whilst innebriated but in reality she meant "no". But, you'll never find out the truth if the system is skewed against the defendant. I apologise if this makes absolutely no sense to you (but I hope it does?). Thanks for reading, Frank. Hi, Trevor
Whoever you are, I've just read it, having had it e mailed to me by a chortling ex pat in Tasmania.
Actually, I think that, possibly, you've missed out on a weapon, which is a sense of humour that the Thought Police still haven't completely extinguished. Cliff Young Excellent website Political up-your-selfness is a passing turd on the tide of human progress It will implode soon by dint of it's own contagion PCness and the like are funnels to it Less is more they say Right Roxo
If you are totally obsessed with getting rid of this world PC (otherwise propaganda) ... you'll enjoy what the Australians do below. In America, the reason things have gotten so bad is the frantic grab for the democrats to get back into power -- for years in this country they hold both House and Senate -- until Republican upset in 1994. They will stop at NOTHING to get back into power and keep power ... if you listen they state this. Listen to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. What other people in the world don't realize is that the Clinton machine is the worst underhanded power machine ever. The dirty politicals and day after day of putting down the president, the army and on and on ... started with Hillary Clinton and her husband who goes around the world making big bucks and putting down america. Plus they're involved in the George Soros left machine that funnels large amounts of money to ruin republicans -- it never stops. They opened admitted that they would ruin the last few years for Bush by bringing everyone on the carpet -- they do this for no reason except to regain power -- why? The democrat system of thinking is to control people -- control through minority votes ... it's nothing but power and greed -- having nothing to do with helping society or the people. It's very very sad. Melindan You're enjoy the article below: Subject: Re: Australian Debate
Political correctness is the means by which a corrupt administration seeks to repress British working men, in the interests of the government's big business sponsors. We are made to feel guilty and ashamed of ourselves, just so that the government can flood the job market with cheap female and imported labour, so driving down wage bills. Ministers get their pay-offs through their "blind trusts" - the contents of which do not have to be declared in the register of members' interests. To force mothers out to work, Brown removed their tax allowance in the name of women's liberation. Their latch-key children are now being looked after by older gang members. But it was Attlee who started the politically-correct rot by flooding Lancashire with cheap Indian labour. The cotton barons were finding it hard to compete with the Indian industry, so they paid the PM to say that he felt so sorry for Indians that he would allow them into Britain. Wage levels were duly driven down and the industry survived for a few more years. As for asylum-seekers, we are not the "next available safe country" to anywhere, except Eire, which persecuted three quarters of its protestants out of the country following independence - so we have no asylum seekers. The Cheap Labour Party will sieze on any excuse to open the floodgates in order to drive down wages - imaginary skills shortages, East European integration, you name it. We have nothing to be ashamed about with regard to the British Empire. Before independence we forced locals to treat minorities fairly - except in India, where priestly bigots successfully kept imposing "marriages" on the most vulnerable minority of all - young girls. Gandhi did not oppose such child abuse. He was too busy dressing up as a peasant for reasons of shallow opportunism - rather like Cameron dispensing with his tie. As well as being a political spiv and opportunist barrister - like Cherie Blair - Gandhi also carried on the family businesses of loan sharking and slum landlording without ever noticing that his principles were being compromised - just as Cameron doesn't mind 24-hour booze and bloodshed because he has shares in an open-all-hours chain himself. Colonial "independence" was often a sad day for the natives, as vicious gangsters - or what the PC brigade call freedom fighters - siezed control of land, minerals and money, triggering waves of famine and bloodshed. Then they made out it was all our fault and whined for more money. With no proper audit system in place, Clare Short diverted a lot of aid agency money to tribal dictatorships. She must be curious as to what has happened to all the lolly. But like guilt-mongering Bob Geldof and his Live Aid millions, she isn't being curious out loud. Just like their colleagues in Britain, the politically-correct crew in the third world use left-wing language to mask old-fashioned corruption. Behind their guilt-mongering phrases lurks sheer greed, and just as venal "freedom-fighters" have wrecked Africa, so their British counterparts (often pocketing kickbacks from them for unaccountable aid donations) are wrecking the very home of modern civilisation, the United Kingdom. It is time the poor oppressed people of this world kicked their politically-correct exploiters off of their whiter-than-white thrones and proclaimed majority rule. Ian Hills Did you know that in the US -- they were actually banning legos for children. Why? Some kids would build bigger lego houses and make other kids feel bad. then after the public rose up in arms - they decided they COULD play with legos after all, however, they have banned the kids from building a bigger house than the next kid ... they all have to be the same! Welcome Mr. Mao -- it's closing in on us! Melinda P.S. Keep up the good work! We need this more than ever now here with the elections coming in 08 -- it's getting crazier by the day -- the power grab and pathway of destruction. Hi my name is heather and I am teaching my daughter the nursery rhyme baa baa black sheep.

Well I feel that British born white citizens have less rights, than a British born Ethnic or Ethnic here via asylum, this is because the whole PC thing & as for your quote, well we don't moan saying, well you can't have an office white board (type with marker pens). Thing is I know lots of people who feel the same, & when we talk about the state of things, we all know others who feel the same!! So I tried it out at work I'm a medical engineer, so everyone I visited I made the conversation go towards the state of things, I was over whelmed by the response I received; it is a dam shame the BNP got all that bad press, as I think they would have had a result, but even with all the media they have increased. So there's lots of unhappy British people, who have passionate strong feelings about Multiculturalism & immigration. So fingers crossed.... Jason Picard What are these PC types thinking. How on earth can they not shout their history from the roof tops when the whole world knows how Britain stood alone in the early days of WW2 and the rest of Europe had fallen like dominos. I am Australian by birth but I’m very proud of my British ancestory as was my father who served in WW1. I hadn’t realized how much damage the PC had done. Please don’t let Britain become a branch office of the EU! John Davison I am from the U.S. and agree with many of your views. I am currently writing a speech about political correctness and am borrowing some of your ideas for my speech (if that is o.k.). I am confused about only one point though. I am a very religious student and am curious as to why you are opposed to religion in schools. Isn't banning religion being politically correct, as not to harm anyones personal views or feelings. That seems to be politically correct to me. Maybe you don't agree with publically expressed religion but the way that it sounds to me, your reasoning for it is not because of political correctness, but because of other views against the practice. I also disagree with your views of public smoking. Not because I want to be politically correct, but because I don't want MY health harmed from SOMEONE ELSE'S bad habit. But, to each his own on that opinion. Sincerely, Cody A. Dvorak
Hi Cody Thank you for looking at the site and for taking the time to email me. Please feel free to use any of the stuff on the site, a mention of where it came from would be nice but not essential. I am against religion because it is pretty much the same as political correctness. It is a received wisdom, a doctrine that must not be challenged and you bring all sorts of trouble on yourself if you do. You could be killed for disbelieving in some religions. As for smoking, you might be surprised to learn that I have always been a non-smoker. I hate smoke but I hate PC / Nanny State even more. It would be hypocritical of me to let that one go past just because I hate smoke! There are other ways to tackle the problem - good ventilation being just one. Mail me anytime. Kind regards Howard
Why not say what you really think, they can't lock you up, the prisons are full to bursting anyway.Even shoplifters burglers muggers etc.etc don't get sent down anymore.
As for racism on the football terraces - pay me the same wages as a premier league footballer, I'll be happy to go on to the pitch & for 90 minutes every Saturday afternoon you can call me any name you like. Anyone overpaid prima dona can buy earplugs if he can't remember the old nursery rhyme "sticks & stones".

I have found myself agreeing with much of what I have read so far... except for the following point:- 'P.I. comment: The Labour Party don't care about the education of normal children otherwise they would never have abolished the Grammar Schools in the mid 1960s. This was the one route that allowed poorer children to advance themselves. Now all those children whose parents are poor or can't manage to live in the right areas are left to sink. Remember that when you vote!' Grammar schools were proven to be biased towards the middle class both in the 11+ and due to the house prices near the schools being high, meaning that the catchment areas are taken up by middle class families. It is a fact that all schooling systems are biased towards the middle class, with grammar schools being possibly worse than comprehesives. Also you have made it to seem that the government introduced comprehensive schooling by saying that they 'would never have abolished Grammar Schools' in the mid-1960's if they cared about normal children, but infact the reason that they abolished grammar schools was so that working class children were not disadvantaged. This was shown by their slogan 'Education under one roof'. Aswell as this, the Labour Party now is very different from the socialist one that it was in the 1960's, so the current government should not be left with the stigma of introducing comprehensive schools. Matthew Pope
Matthew >> Grammar schools were proven to be biased towards the middle class both in the 11+ and due to the house prices near the schools being high, meaning that the catchment areas are taken up by middle class families. WRONG! How on earth can Grammar Schools be biased towards the middle class? To go to a Grammar School you only had to do one thing (regardless of where you lived) - pass the 11+. You are speaking to someone who grew up on a grotty council estate in Luton, Beds (hardly middle class). I passed the 11+ and went to Luton Grammar School. The catchment area was the whole of Luton. >> in fact the reason that they abolished grammar schools was so that working class children were not disadvantaged. WRONG! Years ago the 11+ ensured the selection was by ability and regardless of class. Nowadays selection is by parent’s wealth. If you are Prime Minister or a member of the New Labour cabinet then the chances are you have the hypocrisy and the money to send your child to a private school like the London Oratory. If you are further down the social tree then the chances are that you and other parents battle to move into an area that has a good school, causing property prices to rocket and excluding poorer families. So which type of selection sounds fairer to you - selection by the child’s ability or the parent’s wealth? Labour rebels also say that selection by ability discriminates against poorer children, yet the opposite is true. Bright children living on a council estate (can you think of anyone?) have the same chance as children with rich parents if selection is by ability but no chance as things stand now. How many bright children have been left to stagnate in unruly classrooms because their parents aren't well off? And there is already selection by ability in City Academies which are allowed to choose 10% of their children by ability but only in music and sports. So why is it OK to select the best pianist or footballer but not the best mathematician? TRUTH! is that it is about political correctness. If everyone can't have a first class education then everyone must have a second class one. We also must have mixed ability classes just in case anyone feels disadvantaged. The truth of mixed ability classes is that the bright suffer while the teacher spends time with the lowest ability. We need streaming! Regards Howard
'>>How on earth can Grammar Schools be biased towards the middle class? To go to a Grammar School you only had to do one thing (regardless of where you lived) - pass the 11+. You are speaking to someone who grew up on a grotty council estate in Luton, Beds (hardly middle class). I passed the 11+ and went to Luton Grammar School. The catchment area was the whole of Luton.' I am afraid that generally speaking, grammar schools are situated in areas of high house prices. If you pass your 11+ then you are able to go to a grammar school IF, and only if, you live in the catchment area of the grammar school. With regards to your case there is an anomaly. Often catchment areas are set based on the number of applicants that a school gets. But with grammar schools, as the number of students applying is generally high, the catchment area is generally small. This means that to get into a grammar school, generally speaking, you would have to live in an area of high house prices. In addition to this the 11+ is extremely biased in favour of the middle class, asking questions associated with higher culture rather than lower culture. The problem of grammar schools mainly intaking middle class students led to anti-school sub-cultures among many working class students, and therefore they were more likely to fail at school due to pressure from fellow working class students. The tri-partite system was incredibly unfair and was leading to the majority of people in the primary sector of the workforce, at a time when the government was trying to expand economically. That is the reason that the labour party decided to make a change. Now, I am afraid that the second point you have made demonstrates that you have not fully researched what you are writing about. 'We need streaming!' Regards, Matt
Hi Matt I'm not sure how old you are but I suspect you are relatively young (anyone is compared to me!). I say this because you may be looking at the Grammar School system after it was first buggered up by the 1960's Labour Government. I have had emails before telling me I am wrong - one told me I was stupid because I was referring to GCSEs as GCEs. The sender had no idea that GCEs were the higher standard forerunner to GCSE (GCSEs appeared in about 1988 ish.) The Grammar Schools were introduced in 1944 with the Butler education Act which established a tri-partite system of Grammar Schools, Secondary Modern & Technical Schools. Not many technical schools were built (Luton actually had one). I agree that they were generally built in the nicer areas (Luton's one certainly was) but that was just a common sense decision as most of its pupils were expected from those areas. However, everyone had a right to go to a Grammar School if they passed the 11+ - I remember that Luton's catchment area extended out to Flitwick and Bedford's area extended down to Ampthill. NO ANOMALY pre 1964! >> Often catchment areas are set based on the number of applicants that a school gets. But with grammar schools, as the number of students applying is generally high, the catchment area is generally small. This means that to get into a grammar school, generally speaking, you would have to live in an area of high house prices. Nonsense! >> In addition to this the 11+ is extremely biased in favour of the middle class, asking questions associated with higher culture rather than lower culture. More Nonsense - the 11+ covered just arithmetic, problem solving and an essay. I know this as I took it in 1961. >> The problem of grammar schools mainly intaking middle class students led to anti-school sub-cultures among many working class students, and therefore they were more likely to fail at school due to pressure from fellow working class students. I grew up on a grotty council estate and there was no "anti-school sub culture" in those days. The only reason the Labour Party changed it was that they perceived it as a stupid act of class warfare. You are correct that some comprehensives now use setting and streaming, and about time too. >> This is the main reason why the comprehensive system is failing. Have you taken leave of your senses? Setting and streaming is the most important thing in education. How can anyone learn properly in a mixed ability group? If the teacher pitches the lesson at the top end then the bottom end can't comprehend or keep up, and if they pitch it at bottom end then the top end get bored and are held back. If they pitch it in the middle then both ends are still disadvantaged. It creates slow and painful progress for all. Contrast this with similar ability groups where lessons can be specific, thus progress in ALL groups is optimum. Please don't tell me that the clever pupils should help the less clever pupils in a class. The teacher gets paid to do that - the pupils expect to be taught. You keep mentioning "anti-school sub cultures" - this sounds to me to be a typical bit of New Labour double speak - much as Attention Deficit Disorder is used as an excuse to cover naughty kids who have been fed lots of sugary drinks and never had any discipline imposed on them. Forget the psychobabble - all people are born different but should be offered the same chances in life - not the same outcome. Don't hold back the clever ones in the stupid belief this helps the less clever. The reverse is actually true. A good book to read, just been published by Monday Books IT'S YOUR TIME YOU'RE WASTING by FRANK CHALK Regards Howard Hi, What a great website you have. My family and I (Asians) came to the UK a couple of decades ago, simply because my parents wanted me to follow the British way of life and education system. They brought me up to respect the laws of the land, and the family ethic was to work hard for a living. Today I find the whole system turned upside down, and I now am looking to emigrate because I have had enough of this PC cr*p, and immigrants who turn up expecting a handout at the taxpayers expense. If and when I do emigrate, I shall still view your website. Keep up the good work. Sam I agree, I agree, I agree, I agree, I agree……….. how many times do we have to say it. Solution – SCRAP Blairs Human Rights Act and redraft it in the confines of English law. Mike Walker Hi, I was referred to you and your site by Laura from the Campaign Against Political Correctness. First, let me introduce myself. I am an expat Kiwi who is absolutely fed up with political correctness and what it is doing to our world. Because of this, I started an anti-political-correctness blog and cartoon site. It is called Fried Brains: http://www.friedbrains.com You may have noticed my cartoons on Laura's site. Anyway I am trying to develop a comprehesive site on political correctness, and I have added a link to your site from my front page. If you could possibly return a link to my site from your site it would be appreciated. The more people that can be informed about this plague the better. I particularly like what you say on your site about humour. Yes, the politically correct have destroyed humor and other art forms. I remember the good old days of Monty Python, Black Adder, Fawlty Towers, Dave Allen (really not possible today), Benny Hill, and Reginal Perrin, etc. That was great British comedy, and it is now lost. Keep up the good work Regards Tezza I have to agree with you that on most points political correctness is ludicrous and should be well and truly stamped out. However, I cannot agree with you on the hunting with dogs issue as I am vehemently opposed to this. It is not a PC issue - it is a moral issue. Why should a group of people who should know better get their kicks out of hunting an animal? And the way they do it - it is just cruel. I am a middle-class, middle-aged, well-educated, country-living lady, so it is not that I am not the 'sort' that would hunt. You should remove the comments about the hunting ban being PC off your otherwise informative website. Anne Ali (Mrs) Dear Sir or Madam, Thanks for building such an honest and thoughtful site. I suggest you spread the word through usage of the Facebook. I am an American (of English heritage) and I visited London last year. I was shocked. I frankly didn't like the way things were shaping up over there, nor am I happy with the way the EU is heading either. Take back your country! I hope your site will have much influence. By the way, you can get money for your site by using relevant ads. This may cheapen the image you want to project, but it is more cost effective for you I'm sure. Let me know if I can help in any way! Cheers, Erica I stumbled across your website when I was researching the Public Order Act. This bit of legislation, and specifically Section 5, was cited in Richard Littlejohn's article in the Daily Mail on Good Friday. He was censuring the police and a certain Mr Glover for raising a fuss over a golliwog displayed in a shop window in Worthing. The owner or manager of the shop - a Mr Scadgell - might be prosecuted under the said Public Order Act for exhibiting something that could be considered offensive. How ridiculous! Do you recall that "Jerry Springer, the Opera" was staged not long ago? Was that not really offensive to many people? Did the police prosecute? Was the production taken off the stage? No, of course not. And yet a fuss is made over a golliwog. Mr Littlejohn suggested that Mr Glover ought to be sectioned. I hope that someone sends Mr Glover a golliwog and tells him where to put it. But as I said, I was doing research, and yet I could not find any mention of the said offense in that bit of legislation. Can you direct me? I really feel that this legislation should be challenged. Someoone needs to dare the police to go ahead and prosecute.The point is that anybody can take offense at anything. Someday someone will take offense at the display of a crucifix in a shop window. We should put a stop to this nonsense. Jim I have just discovered your site, via the also recently discovered CAPC website. Congratulations on providing a window into the disturbing aspects of PC insanity which are crippling our 'normal' British way of life. The thing which sickens me the most, is the way the PC brigade assume that anyone supporting white British culture and traditions is by default a racist. What utter bollocks. I'll be exploring your site and associated links. Thanks for putting your site together and making a stand for sense and reason. Is there any way to obtain stickers or other items displaying the 'Politically Incorrect and Proud Of It' Logo ? Best Wishes Graham Lees Most of the parasites making a living out of this nonsense are receiving taxpayers money in theis paypackets If there was little or no public sector employees there would be little or no PC. Privatise the lot. and that would be an end to the diversity co-ordinators.five a day irritants and most of the PC busybodies justifying their unecessary pressence in our lives. Alan Heron Why don't you have a link to the BNP on your site? Is it too politically incorrect? Mel
Mel Thank you for your email. There is no link to the BNP as I only support organisations that use purely peaceful means to help the UK rectify its problems - skinheads and paki-bashing have no place within that framework and just reminds people of Germany in the 1930's. I am sure you will tell me that was all in the past (pre BBC film) but no one will ever be sure anymore will they?. However I do support your right to say what you wish (except incitement) with regard to the sad state that the UK finds itself in these days. Your leader should never should have been charged. Regards Howard
Hi Howard, I'm a 50 year old ex soldier and retired ambulanceman and BNP member, There is no "Pakki Bashing" and skinheads are discouraged. I'm afraid you pay too much attention to the media, which is heavilly biased. Regards Mel
Hi Mel I am careful with the media and avoid the BBC if possible for the reasons you mention but I haven't heard the BNP accuse the BBC of fabricating anything in that film so Pakki bashing does seem to be a genuine BNP pastime. As regards 'skinheads are discouraged' - every time I see Nick Griffin on the TV, he is surrounded by them (are you suggesting the BBC graphics dept add them to their footage?). I understand his need for security but why use skinheads unless for effect? Tony Blair needs security but you don't see him surrounded by six skinheads every time he appears on TV. Perhaps you should mention to your leadership what damage this image is doing to the party but I fear it will fall on deaf ears as I think this is the image the leadership wish to portray. Anyway keep telling it like you see it, be careful not to incite violence and remember that most people support free speech when asked (although only within those parameters!) Regards Howard
Hi Howard, I take your point, but then Blair is spoilt for choice as far as security goes. It's true to say a minority of members get involved in such things, but then other political party members get involved in crimes too. Regards Mel
It is nice to know that there are still other people out there who have a sense of humor - who understand that you can make jokes and not be a racist. I am doing a paper right now in my college comp class and if you have any good journal articles or any information that could help me with my paper I would love it if you could e-mail it to me at linanutshell@yahoo.com any help would be greatly appreciated. You're doing a great job. Well done !
All of this PC bull (emanating - needless to say - from the underemployed and cossetted public sector) has got to be stopped before it REALLY gets out of hand.
Trevor Dennington Hi, Must congratulate you on what must be one of the best web sites going, I cant believe what has happened to this country and whats more we just seem to go on accepting what our so called politicians tell us and I only wish we all stuck to-gether and got us back to how we were. I put up a web site as follows: www.makebritaingreat.co.uk purely because we are going backwards instead of forwards. Good luck with your site. I would like your permission to link yours with mine please. Yours John Page I completely agree with every word you say. PC is a 'blizzard of lies', and we desperately need people to stand up and say so - which is what you're doing. Please keep on doing it ! Bert Dear Politically Incorrect, In my local newspaper the Manchester Evening News (MEN) every day there are letters in the post bag section complaining about the PC Brigade and their quest to stop Christmas being, well Christmas. The Christmas trees in the Manchester Arnadale are nothing but green cones and there is no sight of tinsel or other festive decorations,why? Because it might upset other religions! This is a Christian country after all, are we not allow to practice what we preach? I know a few people of the Muslim and Jewish faiths, do they mind if we celebrate the birth of Christ? No,they join in on the sending of cards and exchanging gifts on the 25th. So whats all the fuss about? I don't know, but for the lesser educated among us this is going to end up creating more racism, because they will believe its the people of other religions who are ordering these outrages,when it simply is other British Christian citizens trying to do-good!! Well no thanks, If it ain't broke don't fix it!! Yours faithfully, Saul Beeson. Hi there it's great to see a website catering for normal, rational human beings!! One suggestion...could you add a section on ART? I believe that it is partly the fault of the PC brigade that we have to suffer poor excuses for art in all the major galleries of this great country. I'm talking about people putting their beds on display or perhaps a pile of house bricks and then selling them for thousands of pounds. It's all tied up with this horrible culture of not being able to say something is s**t when it really is and everybody knows it but we must not cause offence. Unfortunately our biased, super-liberal media will promote anything that debases British vaules, culture and history. Sometimes I don't think people realise just how damaging and all-encompassing political correctness actually is. Keep up the good work! Loren An excellent site - well done! Martin Subject: Would be hypocrits
From: wirralbnp@aol.com D J.
Dear DJ Thank you for your email. I accept that our causes have much in common but I would never steal your clothes - well, not unless you washed the blood out first. If you have warned of the danger of PC since the early eighties then I congratulate and thank you. Have you ever stopped to think why people have been ignoring what you have been saying? Could it be that no one will take you seriously if in the next breath you say something ridiculous or peddle race hatred? A recent similar example of this was the UKIP MEP who quite correctly pointed out that small employers won't employ a woman of child bearing age due to the iniquity of maternity leave and then spoilt it by saying that women don't clean behind the fridge enough. Get the idea? (apparently it upset the Kinnocks though so it wasn't a complete waste of breath!) As to Michael Howard's recent rant, I agree with you that he is just jumping on the bandwagon in the hope of gaining a few votes. I would take him more seriously if he hadn't have castigated Ann Winterton for her 'Cockler' joke cracked at a private party. There was absolutely nothing racist about it. At the time of course, he was just jumping on another bandwagon travelling in the other direction in the hope of gaining a few PC votes. The Tories really are desperate! Their party is still employing positive discrimination in choosing candidates so it all does ring rather hollow. You will have no doubt noticed that I point out that shouting 'racist' at anyone that wants to discuss immigration is pathetic. The PC brigade are very much against free speech (except their own). I maintain that free speech is the only thing that keeps us in a free society and yes, I will even defend the BNP's right to peddle it's nasty dogma. After all, it is the best way of letting people see you for exactly what you really are! We may have much in common but the real difference between us is that I am not a TRUE racist. I have many friends and customers who are Asian and many of those are far better people than the white customers. I am a 'behaviourist' (my word) in that I am against people's behaviour, not their colour. I am against illegal immigrants whether they are black or white. I have even tried to get Trevor Phillips (CRE) to understand the concept so he wouldn't prosecute the bonfire party that put the P1KEY number plate on the caravan and then burnt it. They were reacting to the behaviour of the travellers, not their ethnic group. Your manifesto reads quite well but then I expect the manifesto of Hitler's National Socialist Party read well in the 1930's. He just forgot to put in the bit about killing six million Jews. Just an oversight. I wonder what is missing from yours? The parallels are quite frightening. The recent Panorama programme exposed your party to the nation. Those of us with an ear to the ground had known it for years. Just expelling a few people who you say you didn't know were there won't wash. They seemed pretty typical of the one's I have met over the years. You will not succeed as the British people are a fair minded bunch and it is too late to change your spots now. If you aren't a TRUE racist then perhaps you might swing your energies into joining and changing a party (or starting a new one) that might one day get into government. Regards Howard
Howard, Thank you for the splended reply. I see the PC brigade have done a wonderful job on you too. I do understand that there have been some bad elements in the BNP since it started but I can say with all honesty that under Nick Griffin the party has matured. Yes it is a party of non-racist's and you are getting confused with the UAF when you talk about blood on our clothes we are also against violence. Just having friends and customers does not excuse one from being tagged racist as we too have ethnic friends and a Jewish councillor but it seemingly doesn't get through to some biased people does it? As for hidden policies there are non what makes us so unloved by the main stream parties is our open and honest approach. What you see in our manifesto is what you get, some like it some may not but that is were democracy comes into its own. Any way enough said, I'm sure I alone will never convince you that the BNP of today isn't the one of it's youth. I do believe you have been too well groomed by the media and mainstream to see the truth. But I wish you good luck with your fight against our common cause PC. pity you can't see the benefit of fighting it with us. Best regards Dave J. PI comment: You only have to read the declaration on their membership page to see the inherent racism. "Membership of the British National Party is open to those of British or kindred European ethnic descent. While we welcome contact and co-operation with nationalists and patriots of other races, and with the many non-whites who also oppose enforced multi-racialism, we ask them to respect our right to an organisation of our own, for our own, as we respect and applaud their measures to organise themselves in like fashion."
