She’ll have a shock when she goes in a pub and gets served by some Eastern European. Or doesn’t get served, as the case may be.

FTFY.
You havent been to Blighty for a while, eh?

[Mich the Tester]

I just wonder...when she lands, will she claim JSA and Council tax benefit?

When you read nonsense about banning baa baa black sheep and the word blackboard and even "Christmas" becoming a dirty word then its gone too far in favour of PC.

Do you believe everything you read? You must be stupid then.
See, that was refreshingly un-PC. I didn't call you "mentally-challenged" or with "learning difficulties", I simply state you're thick as pig-sh!t


HTH

I've never understood the furore over this one? If the loony bleeding heart apologists had bothered to read beyond the word 'black' they would notice that the sheep is rather a good role model, he was polite, he provided 3 bags of wool and he shared it out equally.

Amen to the wooly brother.

The most ridiculous one I ever heard was 35 years ago, learning electronics. There is a colour coding system for some components where white = 9 and black = 0

We had two Malawi students and they complained, they insisted it should be changed so that Black was a bigger number than white

Okay so this is extreme and too far the other way but it's to illustrate a point.

Its refreshing not to have to read about or deal with this bulltulip.

The politician in question has no idea what she's in for!

Well last weekend we saw "Little Black Sambo" in a book shop. They also sell Gollywogs and refer to "****".

Doesn't sound that PC to me.

Wow. None of that PC mumbo jumbo eh? What a place!

You are totally wrong there mate, Cosmopolitan Ozzies are amongst the most PC people I ever met. Sydney is the only place where I was ever told it was improper to ask for a black coffee.
And some 12 year kid on a scuba diving trip having hysterics and threatening his dad with legal action because he could have mates sleeping over.

In the small towns and rural areas it's different

[EternalOptimist]

Two immediate differences I can see between the UK and Oz:

2. Oz doesn't have a radical PC element forcing society to bend over backwards to avoid anything which could be seen as possibly 'offending' other cultures or religions.

Sadly, the land of opportunity is no more applicable," she said, blaming high taxes, over-regulation and a "lack of true representation".

[gadgetman]

Two immediate differences I can see between the UK and Oz:

1. A large porportion of the immigrants in the UK come to take advantage of the crazy system of handouts and have no intention of working or contributing in any positive way.

2. Oz doesn't have a radical PC element forcing society to bend over backwards to avoid anything which could be seen as possibly 'offending' other cultures or religions.

[Zippy]

Maybe I should come back too?

I'm guessing you won't because you're not.

Hanson was pretty different to your typical UK politician in that she was quite open about her racist beliefs...
