idiot equality minister takes offense at beer tap. shocking photo seen here.

If any of the men had any grit, they’d have told the stupid bitch to get a life.  But oh f***in no.  The order of the day in these politically correct times, is to give the ‘F’ in.  Always give in the offended or ones who might become so.

Dumb shits!  Sorry ppl but this kind of sorry assed stuff just makes me see red.

Top Totty beer banned from Parliamentary bar in case it offends women

A beer called Top Totty was banned from a Parliamentary bar today because its pump plate featuring a half-naked lady offended women.

One sorry phony who is an “equality” minister who makes extra money cos she is the equality minister. And here’s what has her most likely unwashed knickers in a twist.  Take a look.

Totty’s Stafford-based brewer Slater’s describes the ale as ‘a stunning blonde beer, full-bodied with a voluptuous hop aroma’

Shadow equalities minister Kate Green was left ‘’disturbed’’ after seeing the 4% ale’s advertising in a popular Westminster watering hole and demanded bar staff remove it from sale.

Within 90 minutes House authorities ordered the beer to be withdrawn after Commons’ Leader Sir George Young told MPs: ‘’Action will be taken.’’
A barman told the Press Association: ‘’I can confirm it was withdrawn from sale at 1.30pm.’’
The bitter backlash developed after Ms Green told the Commons: ‘’I was disturbed last night to learn that the guest beer in the Strangers’ Bar is called Top Totty and there is a picture of a nearly naked woman on the tap.’’

She called for a debate on ‘’dignity at work in Parliament’’ and asked Sir George to back her demands for Top Totty to be ‘’withdrawn immediately from the bar’’.
Top Totty’s Stafford-based brewer Slater’s describes the ale as ‘’a stunning blonde beer, full-bodied with a voluptuous hop aroma’’.

Its website adds: ‘’This award winning beer, brewed solely with Whitbread Goldings hops, produces an initial burst of bitterness with a citrus fruity finish.’’
Speaking as MPs discussed future Commons business, Sir George said he was ‘’not aware of this particular picture’’ but pledged to raise the issue with House authorities.

He added: ‘’I am sure appropriate action will be taken.
‘’I would very much regret it if any offensive pictures were on display in any part of the House.’’
Commons Speaker John Bercow’s wife Sally, who last year famously posed in just a bed sheet for a photo shoot, took to Twitter to vent her anger at the beer.
She wrote: ‘’Cannot *believe* that there’s a beer called Top Totty on sale in the Commons! Outrageous - does Mr B know?’’
The beer’s withdrawal will come as a blow to Tory MP Jeremy Lefroy, who organised for Top Totty to be sold in Strangers’.

Announcing its introduction as the bar’s guest ale, the Stafford MP said: ‘’This is a great opportunity to showcase a fantastic and award winning beer.
‘’Slater’s Brewery produces many popular beers which have been brewed locally for more than 15 years and it is great to be able to share some of Staffordshire’s finest produce with colleagues in Parliament.’’

‘’Cannot *believe* that there’s a beer called Top Totty on sale in the Commons! Outrageous

Yeah right. And this from a woman, married to the Speaker of the house who bragged publicly about her numerous one night stands before marriage, and who not surprisingly supports the left, she is outraged also. Uh huh. Another phony.

liberal retards on the march to further pc

A bit of a brouhaha over a remark about blacks having a built in suntan.

Are white folks getting dumber and dumber?

Appears so.  And many black folks must be having an honest laugh at the silly white people who seem hell bent on feeling offended on their behalf. Even if they aren’t.

The Telegraph earlier this week reported on a youth worker who was thrown off a council course for describing black folks as having a “built in suntan.”
Nobody so far has managed to explain exactly how or why that’s racist or offensive.

The lady made the remark was also called to account for her use of the term, “coloured boy.”

During the first day of an Essex county council youth offending service training session, the woman commented, “I have a stepfather who has a built in suntan.”

Oh woo-freekin-hoo. Quick. Rope and tree for the awful offence against humanity.

The woman of course has been apologizing left and right for any perceived offence which she says wasn’t intended.  She’s 59 and said that growing up she was always told to use the word colored rather then black.  Perhaps that was the choice of her stepfather. Who knows. But the two things taken together were seen by the council as unacceptable and racist, in spite of her coming from a mixed race home and background.

I can’t even guess when, where or how this stupidity will end. Or indeed if it ever will. 

The politically correct idiot spokesman for the Essex county council says,
“People need to display open, friendly, non-judgemental communication skills and also show an appreciation of diversity and respect for all people at all times.”

So I guess that woman violated all of that but I still can’t figure out how.

And in other politically incorrect happenings.

A Conservative councillor has been suspended for comments he made on Twitter, labelling some disabled people who were protesting over cuts in their programs, as
retards.

John Fareham, a Hull city council leader, made the remark after a budget cuts debate last year.

He Tweeted:  “15 hours in council today, very hard-hitting day and the usual collection of retards in the public gallery spoiling it for real people.”

He had the unmitigated nerve to write what people say all the time and write in truth more likely.  But that isn’t accepted anymore.  People now must be cautious about speaking their minds as heaven forbid, someone will be offended.

The committee that dumped him says his remark “breached equality enactments and brought his office and the council into disrepute.”

Never mind he was speaking for himself alone.

Now I wasn’t there of course and so I can not say with absolute surety that it went this way.  But anyone wanna bet that the retards in the gallery were probably shouting over speakers because only their voices had any right to be heard.

SPOTTED WHAT?

I think this decision was wrong.  You do not alter or change your country’s language to accommodate foreign visitors.  How many other cultures are out there that this guy is gonna worry about offending?  They could have explained in pamphlet form that Spotted Dick, for all that it’s funny to an American ear and still is odd to mine, is a suet pudding with currents and served with liquid custard.  Custard is a sauce here.

I’m sure that even without explaining beforehand, it would have all been explained after the show.  But no.  As always it seems to be the host country that MUST give up something so as not to ‘offend’ those not native to these shores.

btw, back in 2009 one council renamed it Spotted Richard so as to not offend. They were forced to do a u-turn when restaurants and customers refused.

Pantomime’s ‘risky’ jokes axed for American audience

Lines have been removed from Dick Whittington and his Cat in case they offend an American audience
A production of Dick Whittington being staged in Bury St Edmunds has had lines removed due to fears they could offend American visitors.
Colin Blumenau, the Theatre Royal’s artistic director, said a joke about spotted dick had been axed and they could not refer to the cat as “pussy”.
He said the changes had been made ahead of a visit of American students.
“It’s about two cultures having the same language but having different meanings for words,” said Mr Blumenau.
“It’s a family show and we try very hard to make sure everybody enjoys it, so there’s no point in trying to offend people.
“If people say it means something else in our culture, you think about it and if it’s not to the detriment of the show, which it isn’t, you change it.”
Mr Blumenau said the changes were only being made to two specific performances of Dick Whittington and his Cat, which runs until 15 January.

BBC NEWS

From the web:

Ingredients
· 50 g butter
· 350 g plain flour
· 3 tsp baking powder
· 140 g shredded suet
· 85 g caster sugar
· 115 g currants
· finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons
· 75 ml milk
· 75 ml whipping cream
· custard or clotted cream, to serve

Method
1. Soften half the butter and use to grease a 1.4 litre pudding basin.

2. Combine the flour, baking powder, suet, sugar and currants in a large bowl, mixing well.

3. Melt the remaining butter and stir into the flour mixture.

4. Stir in the lemon juice and zest.

5. Combine the milk and cream in a small jug. Slowly stir enough into the mixture to bring it to a dropping consistency.

6. Pour the mixture into the pudding basin. Cover with a double layer of greaseproof paper (make a pleat in the middle to allow for expansion), tied in place with string.

7. Place the basin in a steamer basket set over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours until cooked. Check the water level now and again to make sure it doesn’t burn dry.

8. Serve with custard or, if you’re feeling wicked, a big dollop of clotted cream.

transgender education for five yr olds, and laws that prove the law is an ass

This is an update to an earlier post along the same line.  Sex ed for toddlers. Or so I view 5 year olds.  OK, maybe not strictly speaking toddlers but kind of young I would think for this.  Transgender classes for five year olds?  What next? 
Glad I’m not a parent.  I’d really be stressed. Above and beyond my present state.

Something else in the article here that proves how stupid things can get.  Apparently if you kill a transgender person due to hate of that state of being, you will get 30 years in the slammer.  I guess as opposed to just killing someone cos you felt like it or were angry at them. Or killing in a robbery or home invasion. BUT,
if the crime were done out of hate, that’s much worse.  WTF?  Dead is dead period where the victim is concerned.  Talk to the families of victims and it’s doubtful they’d feel any better knowing their kin was murdered but hey, the killer didn’t hate the victim. Oh, well that’s alright then. 10 years off in five for good behavior.

A 19-month-old toddler called Fletcher was punched to death by his father, because he would not stop crying in his cot. Daddy was sentenced to nine years. Presumably, if he’d killed a transgender person his sentence would have been much higher.

Fraken idiots.

Transgender lessons for pupils aged five: Classes will ‘overload children with adult issues’, say critics
By JACK DOYLE

Children as young as five could be given lessons on ‘transgender equality’ under Government plans.

Information about transgender people is set to be included in the curriculum for personal, social and health education lessons, which are taught in thousands of primary and secondary schools.
The proposal is part of a Coalition policy programme entitled ‘Advancing transgender equality – a plan for action’, which was published yesterday.

In it, ministers warn a wide range of steps are needed to combat ‘transphobic bullying’, which is defined as the taunting of children who express ‘gender variant behaviours’.

‘Tackling transphobic bullying helps to address unacceptable behaviour and ensures that our society becomes more tolerant.’
As part of its review of PSHE, the Department for Education will consider adding ‘the teaching of equality and diversity, including transgender equality’ to the curriculum.

But critics said there was a danger that children were being overloaded with ‘adult issues’ as a result of such lessons.
Margaret Morrissey, founder of campaign group Parents Outloud, said: ‘These are adult issues and we should leave it until children are older or until they ask.

‘The problem is we are overloading our children with issues that they should not have to consider at a young age. PSHE is already overloaded with other issues.
‘We have given them sex education and teenage pregnancies have risen year on year.

‘We have told children about drugs education and we have a serious problem with drugs. We have told them about drinking and cigarettes and we have more children with alcohol problems and smoking.’

Also announced yesterday were longer jail terms for murderers who are motivated by hatred of transgender people.
The basic sentence for anyone convicted of such killings will be 30 years, Kenneth Clarke said. 

Similar attacks on disabled people will also face the same tough minimum term.
The Justice Secretary said that offenders ‘should be in no doubt that they face a more severe sentence for these unacceptable crimes’

Here’s a comment from a Daily Mail reader.

The basic sentence for anyone convicted of such killings will be 30 years, Kenneth Clarke said. The public want the basic sentence FOR ANY KILLING TO BE THIRTY YEARS not just those motivated by some sort of hatred towards a particular group. By making these comments he is effectively saying that a transgenders death is more worthy than an heterosexual persons death. I could not care less what a persons sexual orientation is but equality does not mean treating these groups more favourably or punishing those who commit crimes against them more severely no matter what the motive.If I was mugged the police would simply give me a crime number and that would be it but under Clarkes new rules If I was transgender and stated the crime was a hate crime more effort would be put in to catch the mugger .

Old News Is New News, Again

Gee, didn’t the New Digital Media figure this out in excruciating detail more than a year and a half ago?

Yeah, and water can’t cure dehydration. Numbnuts.

Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday blasted the Defense Department for classifying the Fort Hood massacre as workplace violence and suggested political correctness is being placed above the security of the nation’s Armed Forces at home.

During a joint session of the Senate and House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, the Maine Republican referenced a letter from the Defense Department depicting the Fort Hood shootings as workplace violence. She criticized the Obama administration for failing to identify the threat as radical Islam.

Thirteen people were killed and dozens more wounded at Fort Hood in 2009, and the number of alleged plots targeting the military has grown significantly since then. Lawmakers said there have been 33 plots against the U.S. military since Sept. 11, 2001, and 70 percent of those threats have been since mid-2009.  Major Nidal Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, who is being held for the attacks, allegedly was inspired by radical U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in late September. The two men exchanged as many as 20 emails, according to U.S. officials, and Awlaki declared Hasan a hero.

Pretty damn pathetic if you ask me. I think that “workplace violence” label falls under the “nice try asswipe” and “you can fool some of the people NONE of the time” categories. It wasn’t “human-caused disaster” either, or whatever the proper pansy-ass euphemism is. It was straight up terrorism executed by a jihadist who used the ninny-britches military’s kowtowing to political correctness to his advantage to work his evil. Take the bastard out and shoot him. And don’t call it anything else. Period. Next?

Kellogg’s now includes a ‘halal certified’ logo on the side of its cereal boxes.

In the hard copy edition of the Mail, the logo was shown.

Just shows ya how far a minority and punch above it’s actual weight in these pc times.
And don’t ya just hate that?

Just say No to a bowl of halal Corn Flakes
By Kelvin MacKenzie
Daily Mail

I have just learned — thanks to a reader’s email — that Kellogg’s now includes a ‘halal certified’ logo on the side of its cereal boxes.

The company claims the move is ‘due to legislation for our multi-cultural society’. Apparently, ‘halal certified’ means the ingredients have been approved by a body called the Halal Food Authority as not containing any animal derivatives or alcohol.

For my part, I’m not sure I approve of the way that animals are killed ‘halal-style’ (with their throats cut and then bled to death, as prescribed by sharia law). If you agree with me, I suggest you need never buy Kellogg’s again.

Alternatively, you could, of course, write to Kellogg’s and ask the firm to produce two different types of cereal boxes — half ‘halal certified’ and half not.

Come to think of, since we are still a predominantly Christian country, perhaps they could produce half their boxes with a cross on them, and half not.

UK Does Something Right

Racist much there?

An effigy of Barack Obama was burned by members of a Conservative party college student association in Scotland, after its committee chose the U.S. president over the late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, a student official told msnbc.com.

The incident took place on a beach in St. Andrews on Friday as part of a tradition by the University of St. Andrews Conservative Association that has seen effigies of former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown burned and former South African President Nelson Mandela hung among others.

Some kind of Burning Man thing I guess. Don’t they do this every year, and toasted Clinton the same way some years ago maybe?

A source told msnbc.com that a number of the committee members were Americans who support the Republican party.

Oh sure. Because they can find a real live breathing Conservative in bloody Scotland. Where even the “right wingers” are Socialists. Sure, uh huh. But if we can’t Blame Bush, we’ll take the next closest thing. OK, now watch the slobbering media get it’s soiled panties in a righteous twist cuz Mr. Toasty was Fearless Reader.

St. Andrews University, which was founded in 1413 and says it is the third oldest university in the English-speaking world, said it planned to speak to the Conservative group about the “very understandable concerns” over the incident.

In a telephone interview, Patrick O’Hare, a student official, said the Students’ Representative Council had voted by 13 to 2 Tuesday night in favor of a motion that burning effigies of public figures was not constructive.

O’Hare described the burning as “immature” and “potentially very offensive,” particularly as the effigy was of “America’s first black president.”

Five candidates to burn
He said he had been told by a person in a position to know that a vote had been taken by the Conservative group’s committee “as to who they would burn.”

He told msnbc.com the identity of the source but provided the information on the basis that the person was not identified.

“There were five candidates including Gadhafi,” O’Hare said. “It was decided upon — perversely democratically — that Obama was the one who was going to burn.”

O’Hare is president of the Students’ Association, of which the Conservative group is a member along with left-wing and other political societies.

St. Andrews University issued a brief comment in an email. “We are aware of reports of this incident and have asked to meet the society president to discuss the very understandable concerns which these reports have raised. Until that meeting has taken place, it would be inappropriate to make further comment,” the statement said.

And on and on. They’re practically wetting themselves with remorse.

[Drew flips through dictionary ... whaddya mean “Effigy” is a thing, not a place. Aw nutz!  Hey, wait a second, it says here an effigy is a straw man, a stand-in for the real thing. Um, so does that mean the POTUS is dead?]

The BEEB also covered this story, calling it an ACT OF HATE.

Nobody ran the pictures. You KNOW the pictures exist. When TOTUS gets lit up in Effigy, Afghanistan, we get the picture. When Shiites go at it, we get the picture. When radical militant Hindus light him, we get the picture. NOBODY is running the picture. This is as close as it gets:

Tory Society also repeatedly torched Nelson Mandela

Nothing to see here, move along. No pics mean it didn’t happen, and will soon be forgotten. So here’s a pic of Prince William and Kate, both St. Andrews alumni. Aren’t they a cute couple? Stare at the cut couple. Think only about the cute couple.

Obama? Whozzat?

Effigy? Never been there.

smoke,smoke,smoke that cigarette … (very old country tune)

Well here we are again.  Little people with tiny minds.  Little Hitlers minus the brains and the uniform.  (yeah brains. one can be very evil but not stupid)

You should see the politically correct comments at the end of this article. I quit smoking a very long time ago. I know the dangers, I’d never start again.
But come on. Who needs pc policing on smoking in your own car if you’re by yourself?  That idea is being advanced my many in the medical profession.
I guess it’s the English was these days.

Anyway, this article is about a woman who dropped her ciggy butt outside her door on the sidewalk. She was immediately given an on the spot fine by one of the many snoops and spies that abound here nowadays.

OK, she should have brought the butt inside and used an ashtray.  But having been seen she went ahead and picked the butt up and put it in her pocket.
So where’s the litter?  And there’s all these mental midgets making comments about how cities are awash with cigarette butts which end up in the oceans.
Funny thing about that.  I hardly ever see any cigarette butts in the streets anymore. But then even years ago before it became politically incorrect to light and toss the evil weed, I don’t recall seeing streets “awash” with butts.  People who are PC also tend to exaggerate. A lot.

Here. Take a look.

‘I’ll go to prison if I have to’: Mother of three, 48, refuses to pay £465 fine for dropping cigarette outside her home

‘There is no way I’m paying the fine for dropping a fag end outside my own front door’
Council bosses: ‘Eco-criminals will not be tolerated’

By EMILY ALLEN

A mother-of-three fined almost £500 for dropping a cigarette has said she she would rather go to jail than pay the charge.

Tracey John, 48, was smoking on her front doorstep when she was seen by a litter enforcement officer dropping the butt on the pavement outside her home.

She refused to pay the on-the-spot fine of £75 and, after her case was sent to magistrates court, has been ordered to pay £465 - one of Britain’s biggest-ever charges for dropping a single cigarette.

But Ms John said yesterday she had no intention of paying and is even prepared to go to prison.

She said: ‘I’ll go to jail if I have to - there is no way I’m paying the fine for dropping a fag end outside my own front door.

Now doctors want to ban smoking in cars… even if you’re on your own

News of her prosecution came as the British Medical Association called on ministers to make smoking in your car against the law - even if there are no passengers.

The housewife claims she was given the £75 on-the-spot penalty even though she picked up the cigarette and put it in her pocket.

Ms John then refused to pay the fine and her case was sent to the magistrates’ court were she was found guilty in her absence.

She was fined £350, ordered to pay £100 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

Ms John, of Pontrypridd, South Wales, said: ‘I picked up the cigarette after I dropped it. It was outside my own house in my own street.

‘I’m not paying it, what am I suppose to do? Put it out on my hand?

Ms John has been told to pay one of Britain’s biggest ever charges for dropping a single cigarette

‘They are not being fair they think they can just take advantage of me to make an example.

‘But I’m not going to back down, I’m not going to be intimidated, I’m going to fight this all the way to the top.’

Council bosses in her home town are cracking down on litter and are warning that cigarette ends are counted as an ‘eco-crime’.

In the past two years Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has generated £69,300 from 844 fixed penalty notices for littering.

Blah,blah but now here’s the part that hands me a laugh. Sort of. 

Nigel Wheeler, service director for Streetcare at Rhondda Cynon Taf Council said: ’Eco-criminals will not be tolerated. The illegal disposal of cigarette related waste is the biggest single problem throughout the area.

‘As well as creating unsightly environmental conditions, the offence can attract vermin.

‘The Streetcare Enforcement Team will do all in its power to eradicate this type of behaviour.’

SOURCE

So then her butt will attract vermin?  What a load of pc eco rubbish. The vermin are all in city halls and parliaments and congresses and anywhere you find the rop. But a cigarette butt? Vermin?  uh huh.
The biggest biggest single problem in his area is cigarette butts?  I say he’s a flippin’ liar! Cigarette related waste?  What? Ashes? More PC exaggeration.

what if straights decided to have a pride in straight parade

It won’t happen of course, and if it ever did - the straights taking part in such a parade would be tagged as ‘homophobic.’

Are these somewhat queer folk so insecure and maybe even questioning of their own position (no puns) that they need parades and their own flag to prove their worth?  And not content with shouting (and showing) their predilection for all the world to hear, next year they are adding another day to the event.
Now it’s going to be a global day. Watch for a special holiday in the future where banks and POs are closed and stores announce large money saving sales to celebrate queerdom.

Lets not be too quick to blame them however.  It couldn’t be done minus the help in every form, financial - organizational etc. without huge support from the left.
None of the bs, pc, acceptance could thrive as it has, without the conservative majority (who are the honest liberals) just laying down and going with the program dictated by the left.

I don’t have a personal problem with their private lives.  I don’t care what they do behind closed doors and I don’t hate or fear them. 
What I object to strongly are major corps. such as this one also laying down and appeasing a group who are such a minority of any given population. I don’t even believe the left, although strong enough to alter habits and attitudes, is anywhere near the majority they hold sway over.  And they do. 

What a world.

Outrage as Tesco backs gay queer festival… but drops support for cancer charity event

Tesco’s contribution would be used to run an entertainment area for families and children at next year’s festival.

By SEAN POULTER

Tesco has triggered outrage by ending its support for the Cancer Research ‘Race for Life’ while deciding to sponsor Britain’s largest gay festival.

Some religious commentators and groups have condemned the decision and are calling for a boycott of the supermarket chain.

Tesco has worked with Cancer Research for more than ten years, raising hundreds of millions of pounds to help combat an illness that will affect one in three of the population.

The chain’s main contribution was support for the annual fundraising Race for Life, the UK’s largest women-only charity event, which has raised more than £400million for the fight against cancer since it began in 1994.

But shortly after Tesco announced the partnership would end, the firm said it would be a headline sponsor of Pride London.

This is Britain’s largest gay pride event, and will be adding a second day next year when it hosts the global WorldPride 2012 festival in July.

Tesco’s chief executive of retailing services, Andrew Higginson, said: ‘Our “Out at Tesco” team will be working closely with Pride London to ensure next year’s event is even more fun.’

Francis Phillips, a commentator at The Catholic Herald, condemned the shift, saying: ‘Tesco is a supermarket.

Its remit has been to sell good-quality food and other items at very reasonable prices, and in this it has been hugely successful.

Why has it now aligned itself with an aggressive political organisation such as Pride London?

‘Why has it given up its sponsorship of Cancer Research? Or at least…why hasn’t it taken up with another mainstream charity such as the British Legion or Age UK?

‘There are thousands of ex-servicemen and wounded soldiers needing help in this country, and millions of elderly people in danger of neglect.
‘They are a fundamental part of the fabric of our society – the kind of fabric that Tesco should be reflecting.’

David Skinner of the Anglican Mainstream organisation, which supports traditional marriage and family life, has written to complain to Mr Higginson and Tesco chief executive Philip Clarke.

He wrote: ‘For Tesco to sponsor a tiny homosexual minority – according to the Office for National Statistics, that amounts to little more than 1 per cent of the population – will be showing the utmost contempt for a large proportion of British society that still adheres, more or less, to the morality and values of the Ten Commandments.’

PS: America.  You have a Tesco branch in a manner of speaking.  It’s a convenience outlet new to the USA in the last few years.
It’s called Fresh & Easy, doesn’t have cashiers (the one in Palm Desert doesn’t anyway) and is all self serve.  Tesco is the parent company.

Color Blind Stupidity In UK

h/t from brand new member kjmerz!

Dress witches in pink and avoid white paper to prevent racism in nuseries, expert says

Teachers should censor the toy box to replace witches’ black hats with a pink ones and dress fairies in darker shades, according to a consultant who has issued advice to local authorities.

From the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz to Meg, the good witch from the Meg and Mog children’s books, witches have always dressed in black.

But their traditional attire has now come in for criticism from equality experts who claim it could send a negative message to toddlers in nursery and lead to racism.

Instead, teachers should censor the toy box and replace the pointy black hat with a pink one, while dressing fairies, generally resplendent in pale pastels, in darker shades.

Another staple of the classroom - white paper - has also been questioned by Anne O’Connor, an early years consultant who advises local authorities on equality and diversity.

Children should be provided with paper other than white to drawn on and paints and crayons should come in “the full range of flesh tones”, reflecting the diversity of the human race, according to the former teacher.

Finally, staff should be prepared to be economical with the truth when asked by pupils what their favourite colour is and, in the interests of good race relations, answer “black” or “brown”.

They’ve already given up on grading tests with red pens. That’s damaging to frail little egos. Red is bad?
Pink witches? Orange witches? Sand witches? Because black is racist, even though the standard cape and hat in simple black is historically accurate of the last witch burning period (early 1600s)?
Don’t use white paper. White is bad?
Lie about your favorite color. Why not just choose one that has no flesh tone associated with it? Something like blue or green. Though to be fair, reading crap like this makes me blue, and turns me green as I feel the need to vomit. So I guess those aren’t good favorite colors either.

The measures, outlined in a series of guides in Nursery World magazine, are aimed at avoiding racial bias in toddlers as young as two.

According to the guides, very young children may begin to express negative and discriminatory views about skin colour and appearance that nursery staff must help them “unlearn”.

If children develop positive associations with dark colours, the greater the likelihood that the attitude will be generalised to people, it says.

The advice is based on an “anti-bias” approach to education which developed in the United States as part of multiculturalism.

Oh no you don’t. This bull is entirely yours. Don’t go trying to foist it off on the USA.

Horry Clap.

well at long last ….. a brand new “ISM” is coined as civilization marches on

Just another darn example of how wimpy and self indulgent our culture has become.  And this one comes from the USA. Oh Dear, Oh Dear.

Things don’t go our way and cry first then sue.  Or is it sue first and then cry for the camera.

Now I have to say that if the supervisor in this article actually acted the way it’s reported, then he is one stupid insensitive jerk of the first rank.  There shouldn’t be any excuse to speak to someone in so hurtful a manner, especially if they’re working for you. Sure, I can understand in an argument and with temper speaking the first thing that comes to mind, that’s usually what we blurt out and may be sorry we did later.  But that’s not what’s reported here. But to sue over it using this new fangled term seems to me way over the top. What a can of worms lawyers will be able to open with this one.  Then it’ll spread here to the UK, and then folks here will be berating Americans (again) for exporting this kind of thing. Forgetting they have free will and could reject it.

Months and months ago commenting on some article that appeared in the papers with regard to ppl being sued for hurting the feelings of a neighbor, (and with one of those new words that always end in “ism” ) I wondered what new ism might be invented in the future.  What sort of people and culture dream up things they can add an ism to?

Well, for sure I’d never have guess this bit of stupid sounding insanity but I will tell you it didn’t surprise me.  I didn’t laugh either cos friends, it ain’t funny.

Try this on for size.

LOOKism.  It looks stupid and sounds even worse.

Didn’t get the job? Blame ‘lookism’, as discrimination against the ugly ‘is the new racism’

By LUKE SALKELD

Some might consider it an ugly truth that attractive people are often more successful than those less blessed with looks.
But now our appearance is emerging in legal disputes as a new kind of discrimination.

‘Lookism’, it is claimed, is the new racism, and should be banished from civilised societies.
It is currently the subject of several court actions in America, and some experts say similar cases should be considered here too.

Economist Daniel Hamermesh argues that ugliness is no different from race or a disability, and suggests unattractive people deserve legal protection.
‘My research shows being good-looking helps you earn more money, find a higher-earning spouse and even get better deals on mortgages,’ he said.

‘Some people are born ugly and there’s not much they can do about it. You’re pretty much stuck with your looks.
‘Logically there’s no less reason to protect the ugly than the disabled, African Americans, other racial minorities or religious minorities, as we do. We could even have affirmative action for the ugly.’

But Lawrence Davies, of the Equal Justice law firm, believes we should be wary of amending current equality laws.

The issue has been highlighted by the case of Shirley Ivey, 61, who is suing her former employer in Washington for ‘lookism’.

She left her job at the Department of Consumer and Regulatory affairs suffering from stress after allegedly being told by a supervisor that he would like her more if she was prettier.

only took two femi-nazis to prove pc is alive and well and working. for them.

Woman power, I guess. 
Only takes two femi-Nazis to get a book store chain to change something because they were offended.

Granted, I can’t see the issue through a woman’s eyes.  But I don’t understand the offense here. Seems like more PC to me.
Of the many thousands of customers throughout the UK, two misfits claim they are offended and the store gives in. Good example of what’s wrong with the world and the dictatorship of PC.

No real surprise however as one of the two is ID’d as a Labour “Activist.” Now that says a lot. That says very left which of course explains it.

Sisterhood? A gang of two.

Take a look. 

Story from The Telegraph

Bookshop changes ‘women’s fiction’ label after appeal from ‘sisterhood’

Book store W H Smith is to drop the shelf label ‘women’s fiction’ after two customers complained to the female chief executive about “condescending, pink fluffiness”.

By Adam Lusher

Claire Leigh and Julia Gillick, both 29, were amazed to receive a reply after appealing “in sisterhood” to Kate Swann, the chief executive of the chain.
They had complained after seeing the works collected under the ‘women’s fiction’ label at a branch in Tonbridge, Kent.

Ms Gillick, an English teacher, told the Times: “It was very light, lots of pink fluffiness and there were no classic authors.” She wrote to customer complaints, but received no reply.

Ms Leigh, an NGO worker and Labour activist, wrote directly to the chief executive, saying they did not think women were a “minority or niche area”, and were “deeply offended by this condescending practice.”

They both soon received a reply from Jackie Wing, the head of fiction and children’s trading at W H Smith. She said ‘women’s fiction’ was often used as a trade term for “chick-lit- type authors.”

The Times says Ms Wing added: “I accept your feedback that this might not be the most suitable reference for our customers. In future we will make sure we do not use this description on promotional POS [point of sale] and the current POS will be replaced in our stores by the middle of October.”

After their victory, the women may continue. Ms Gillick is allegedly considering suggesting to her pupils that they write to a supermarket that is also supposed to have a ‘women’s fiction’ section.

‘politically insensitive’ brit troops musn’t offend the enemy

How do I start on this one? I wasn’t even gonna boot today to be honest. Still dragging from yesterday, up early and think I may have a cold or something coming on. Not certain but not 100% old ranting self.  Cold and damp and just want some coffee and back to a warm bed.

Our papers were delivered unusually early this Sunday morning. So when this darn thing caught my eye, well, I knew I had to turn this puter on and share.
If I had any hair left to pull out, I wouldn’t have the energy to do so this morning.

Take a look at this bit pc tom foolery.

Banned: ‘Taliban Hunting Club’ badges worn by UK troops in Afghanistan
By CHRISTOPHER LEAKE

British soldiers in Afghanistan have been banned from wearing skull-and-crossbones badges on their uniforms that declare ‘Death To The Taliban’ and proclaim membership of a ‘Taliban Hunting Club’.

The unofficial stick-on badges are now a cult accessory among British troops fighting Taliban insurgents.

But senior Army officers visiting Helmand province in southern Afghanistan – where most UK troops are based – have ordered them to be removed because they are deemed ‘politically insensitive’.

Commanders were said to be particularly worried about the repercussions if any of the estimated 600 soldiers wearing one of the fabric badges accidentally shot a civilian in the heat of battle.

Ministry of Defence lawyers are understood to have expressed concern that any soldier wearing one of the badges who might later become embroiled in a legal case after killing an innocent Afghan would be viewed as ‘maverick’.

One of the banned emblems features a crude pirate-style skull and crossbones and a Death To The Taliban slogan, while another has a more intricate design of a skull with crossed rifles behind it and the motto Taliban Hunting Club.

Yet another shows a skull framed by a sniper’s gun sight covered in an Arab-style scarf and, on top of it, what appears to be the dead body of a Taliban fighter stripped to the waist.

The badges are made in Britain and they are sent out to soldiers by friends and relatives, or taken out by the troops in their backpacks.
