When the PC tossers have made everything PC, what will they waste their time on then?

Why is it that PC tossers almost always use Macs?

Why is it that all Mac users are tossers?

You have to blame everything you don't like on bring PC on here. Haven't you read the memo?

Yep. The IT wing of Daily Mail Online. KUATB. I agree with the scientific concensus on climate change, I think the free market is not the solution to all problems, I think Jeremy Clarkson is a bit of an a*rse.

On CUK this makes me the 'resident yoghurt knitting, bunny hugger'

Yep, apparently all ills can be cured by getting a Mac.

What has this go to do with being “PC” ?

There ain't nothing like a Dame

Oh, I do love to see conservatives up on their high horses! What fun. So Delingpole and Andrew (Hockey Stick Illusion) Montford, are leaving and she's even annoyed Quentin Letts. Bonus.

Excellent! The organisation can only be improved by the departure of these denier dinosaurs, I see both membership and visitor satisfaction are up since she took over.

Where do I join?

The aim is obviously to increase national trust membership, but English heritage are the organisation for the other bits.

Why I'd rather eat worms that renew my National Trust membership

Seems like the dear old NT has been taken over pretty much in the same way as the Girl Guides and no end of other much loved institutions that are synonymous with middle class, small "c" conservative Britain with the appointment of one Dame Helen Ghosh....

As a result of her appointment, Delingpole argues that...

the National Trust had now been hijacked by left-liberal entryists completely out of touch with this once-splendid organisation’s charitable purpose. No longer, it seems, is the National Trust about preserving the glories of the English country house, connecting us with our past and conserving the 775 miles of coastline it owns.

Rather, it has been turned into yet another progressive activist organisation advancing political causes which are irrelevant to – and often inimical to – its charitable remit.

and...

the organisation is too middle-class and (she) wants to make it “more relevant” to its membership.

How original!

She wants to move away from country houses and more towards the places like the childhood homes of Paul McCartney and John Lennon .... “It’s things like the Beatles’ houses in Liverpool or back to back houses in Birmingham. And our visitors are absolutely loving them.”

As he says, "absolutely loving them" says it all

Maybe it's the small "c" conservative thing that many people find attractive about the National Trust, I don't know, but I do wish people like her would just stop meddling with things that aren't broken.
