Commencement Conflagration

Here’s an opening paragraph from Littlejohn’s column this morning.
I hope to post all of it but thought I’d add it here first.
As Benedict Cumberbatch discovered recently, keeping up with the acceptable language of diversity and inclusion is fraught with danger.
The Sherlock star fell foul of the speech police after describing black actors as ‘coloured’, rather than the latest de rigueur term ‘persons of colour’.
Even though he intended no offence — quite the opposite, in fact — he was forced to abase himself before the diversity nazis and the deranged social media lynch-mob.
Still, it could have been worse. Cumberbatch was lucky he didn’t end up in court charged with ‘hate crime’.
