The worlds gone mad!!!!!!!

To be honest this sort of thing is expected from our local council, they have closed the football team, the speedway team, the local swimming baths and a lot of local schools, apply to build a house or a mosque and no problems at all ask for anything involving sport, leisure or something for the kids to do and you can forget it.

 

[Netty]

totally stupid.
it will be cows next.

 

[Meezers]

You are kidding me....and I thought America had gone crazy.

So...I'm Jewish...I don't make a big stink about Pooh and Piglet!

So....are they going to remove calenders with pictures of cathedrals? Angels? Lobsters?

 

[shellbell]

Thats just stupid Things like this get me angry

 

[carolfoy]

I'm sure everyone is getting so sick of 'political correctness' if we're not careful a future generation will turn out to be fascist, racist, nazi-condoning gun-toting, obese, scum!
How ridiculous this is, Do you think if the tables were turned and the majority of the office were dyed in the blood old fashioned English that they'd be allowed to complain about anything the minority did?

 

[floridalol]

Crazy, dumb, stupid and another hundred similar words cannot explain this decision. We are at the mercy of the political correctness mob, why does no one stand up for THEIR own rights and refuse to remove Piglet? How can anything so innocent that has delighted children and adults for a hundred years cause offence to anyone? Otherwise will the last Brit to leave these shores for a new life overseas please turn the lights off?

What is the world coming to ??

 

[Deedee]

Hey Burt don`t tell me you were a Cradley Heathens fan. I met my DH at dudley wood. As for piglet i shall wear my tee shirt with pride!!!!!

 

[carolfoy]

I remeber a quote by Walt ' If a child cannot learn to love a bear with very little brain how can he learn to love those less fortunate than himself'
how true is that????????

Hey Burt don`t tell me you were a Cradley Heathens fan. I met my DH at dudley wood. As for piglet i shall wear my tee shirt with pride!!!!!

I was indeed deedee, spent many a happy hour at the wood until the council contributed to the downfall, just like dudley fc, brierley hill baths - the sooner this council is booted out the better!!! this thing about piglet just shows how mad this country has gone. can you imagine the same thing happening in France , Spain, Italy, germany the states not damn likely only in england, we must be the laughing stock of the world!!! floridalol has hit the nail right on the head

 

[Cyrano]

It's a pity that someone thought to start this. When will it end

[diberry]

I don't know anybody who really agrees with political correctness to that degree so why is it taking such a hold and what can we do to stop it???

 

[DisneyPhD]

Ok, I agree it is just plan dumb. I still am bothered by the whole "change Dixie Landings to PORS name thing, but that is just me."

One question. When did the Sun become a reliable news sorce? Isn't that a tablod that dedicates most of it's stories to Britney Spears, what celbs just broke up, had afairs or babies? Not sure because I don't pay much attention to it.

Oh and LOVE winnie the pooh, piglet is my favorite, all over my house. We have a joke that DH was Eeyore and I was piglet back when we were dating.

 

[carolfoy]

I get what you're saying about 'The Sun' but in all likelihood the storys true as the people it was concerning would know that The Sun would LOVE a story like this, they are a paper that prides itself on being the working mans tabloid.

 

[Mr-D]

I would like to point out that the original link was sent to me. I do not read the Sun, honest!

[diberry]

I still am bothered by the whole "change Dixie Landings to PORS name thing"

ITA - why is Dolly Parton allowed to have a Dixie Stampede but Disney can't have Dixie Landings???
Did you hear about the hospital in Halifax (where they've usually got more sense) which hands visitors to the maternity ward a card telling them that they should not "coo" over babies as it invades their personal space? I promise you it's true!!!!

 

[kristieuk]

I can't believe this! No-one is asking them to eat the pigs for goodness sake .

 

[Minniespal]

What a strange world we life in

 

[Deedee]

Minniespal its not the world we live in its the people who live in it, don`t you think?
