The Archbishop of Canterbury and The Royal
Commission for Political Correctness announced today that
the climate in the UK should no longer be referred to as
'English Weather'
Rather than offend a sizeable portion of the
UK population, it will now be referred to as:
'Muslim Weather'
( Partly Sunni, but mostly Shi'ite )

Re: Political Correctness
Wow so we still have an Archbishop of Canterbury? Truly amazing considering recent resignations of clergy... (or one in particular - the wimp at St Pauls.)Terry wrote:The Archbishop of Canterbury and The Royal

Re: Political Correctness
All getting a little sad really.........
Volunteer Father Christmases told children can no longer sit on their knee
While those playing Father Christmas are no longer required to pass a Criminal Records Bureau check, many schools have decided to “err on the side of caution” and impose rules on grotto behaviour.
Parents who have offered to don the red suit have been told they must not allow youngsters to sit on their laps and cannot be left alone with them.
Because CRB checks are required only for volunteers who have regular contact with children, Father Christmases are exempt.
However, government guidance states: “Under no circumstances must a volunteer who has not obtained a CRB disclosure … be left unsupervised with children.”
Russell Hobby, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said this meant many of its members had decided it was better if Father Christmases avoided all physical contact with children.
