More PC madness -- guess they'd better do away with "British Isles" and "Great Britain" while they're at it..... better still, why not just put all of England/Wales/Scotland/N. Ireland under Sharia law and settle into dhimmitude..... then there won't be much to worry about on the political correctness front.

“Politically Correct” is the politically correct term for “F*cking Retarded”

Obama would prefer not to be chided as a big eared American, and don't poke fun at his ears either. Woot! Woot!

I got news for you the English don’t like that word either. My relatives over there do not like to be called British. They live in Kent and they are English not British.

They don't know their history.
It was the Roman Empire that subjugated the indigenous peoples starting between 45bc and 55bc. They came after their conquest of Gaul (France). Those people vastly outmatched by the disciplined Legionaries. The landing was possibly at the white cliffs of Dover. The people were a Celtic people. The warrior queen was Boadicia, and she went down fighting, near where St Albans, Hertforshire is today.
The Romans left, when the barbarians threatened Rome over 400 years later. Boadicia was a true Briton. The Ancient Britons were driven from what is now England, to Cornwall and Wales.
The name by ancient sea traders and others for these people was the BRYTHONS. The Romans called that land BRITANAI. When an attempt was made to unify all of these peoples, someone called the whole entity- BRITISH.
Political correctness has ignored the origin of the name.
To: Edgar3
You are correct I think. It is hard to understand how the world can do that, (go utterly mad) but then it has happened many times before. Caligula, Nero, Hitler, Stalin etc.
The only problem is when they did go mad, people suffered terribly.
It looks like it will eventually get to that.

The funny thing is British was the name used by the Romans for the Cymri (Welsh), which is why Cymraeg (Welsh) is known as Brythonic gaelic.
The English are not primarily Celtic. They are the Germanic Anglo-Saxon, and should properly be called English (Angle).
This council is ignorant of their own history.

Taco and watermelon are bad words too. Holy mackerel, are you couscous? I suppose chicken fried chitlins is derogatory, too.
