Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Politically Correctness.

A chap was prosecuted under the race relations act for calling a welsh bouncer, a Taff. So does that now mean that we cannot call someone a Georgie or Scoucer without fear of prosecution by the PC police. What about TaffMog ? Should they now change their name to WelshMog.

The whole world has gone mad.

Neil - a cockney, but you cant call me that.

What is unbelievable is a bouncer being so sensitive! As you say, the world had gone mad!

Bye bye Taffmog, Paddymog etc!!

Insensitive bouncer? Isnt that stereotyping? Your comments might well have reduced the bouncer ( male or female or half half) to tears.

Mr Stride,
In late July I was "required" by my employer to spend a morning on a training course designed to bring us all up to speed on the consequences of recent changes in UK law pertaining to Diversity, Prejudice and Respect in the work place.

My conclusion? Yes the world has gone mad.
The only safe way to address, or refer to a colleague is by his or her family name, so Mr Stride it must be, unless the person has specifically infrmed me that it is acceptable to call him or her by their given nicknames. So may I address you as John?

Nicknames are dangerous ground, even if the person welcomes it. So I may not call an Irish man "Murphy" or "Paddy" even if they request it as in so doing I may offend someone else who hears me do this. I'm not joking. We were told that there is a case going through the courts where an Irish man asked to be called "Padmik", as his given names are Patrick Michael. It seems a co-worker (female) heard this and was offended as her partner is Irish and gets very offended by the use of these nicknames. Under UK law she has a case and has claimed damages.

The defense is that Paddy and Mick are established Irish shortenings of Patrick and Michael and are a person has a right to request that he is called by these mames. It may well end up going to the European Court as PadMik has counter claimed his human rights would be infringed by not allowing him to be called by his prefered name.

The lawyers are making money, the system that allows this is out of control.

Next, all humour that focusses on any aspect of race, religon, colour, sexual orentation, etc., etc., must be removed from all forms of communication, so:

TaffMog must become MineMog or SteelMog or LavaMog
PaddyMog must become EmeraldMog, HarpMog or possibly SoftMog

As a line manager it seems that if I don't actively stop my direct reports from abusing their colleagues I can actually end up being sued for damages, along with my employer, and in extrem cases can go to prison. I'm serious.

I repeat, the world of work has gone mad and it has been helped by lawyers selling the idea that there is "money" compensation for a perceived or real slight.

A few weeks after this I formalised my retirement date. I really don't want to bother with all this nonsense.

Sorry for the rant, but it really gets to me!

Herr Aldermog

You missed a Golden opportunity to put into practise your new found knowledge this weekend in Totnes just a spit away from (15mls)where I reside.

The everlasting courses on this sort of thing one even on Subconscious Bias with regard to Equality - as a Crown Employee you have to undertake three compulsories and another two learning Opportunities/Career development Opportunities. These were the final nail in the Freedom ticket for me back in May and it's wonderful to be rid of all that b0ll0cks.....

Mr.R.W.Stramik.

So what would Fossilmog become after all many of the owners.....


it is absolutely crazy we need some strong doses of reality brought back into life

Pete

Oh I think Fossilog is just fine,

Dear Mr Stramik,

whilst I do have a degree of sympathy for all in this group and recognise that there is an element of society that would, if allowed, maintain the status quo of the 1950s I also feel they have had their fair share of publicity and support.

It is time we moved on: we need a serious pressure group to defend the rights of white, hetrosexual, family orentated middle class men with respect for their female partner and their parents .

We are becomming an opressed, insulted minority.

This has to stop and we must stand up for all our traditional freedoms - even if this offends some in other groupings. They must show tollerance and understanding, just as we have done.

The new movement shall be:
"OLD WHITE MOTHERS PRIDE"

Oh, bother, that sounds like stale bread......

Sincerely,

P J Jenks, F.R.S.C.

Nothing wrong with the world . Its the pricks that that think they can run it and by the way its a Geordie get it right or they may take you to court . I watched the great North run y/day and more p*ss taken out of each other even by those broadcasting . the TV. One couple married on Sat doing the run on Sun him in his part suit her in her part gown . I heard several times from many people its a great fun place to be.

Just had a quick look at this. He was charged with using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress, not under the Race Relations Act. The offence was alleged to have been racially aggravated.

Cheltenham Magistrates' Court heard how Davis was very drunk and abusive after being thrown out of Harry's Bar in Gloucester in January.

At a previous hearing Graham Dono, prosecuting, told magistrates Davis turned to his brother and said: "Don't talk to them, they're f*****s".

He then turned to a female, English, police officer and added: "Are you f**king taffs as well? You can f**k off'."

The lorry driver admitted being offensive but denied in court that what he said was racist.

He was acquitted.
