The recently elected mayor of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, has infuriated Britain's politically powerful homosexualist lobby by attempting to withhold local funding for this year's Gay Pride celebrations. The funding for this year's event in June went through, but Mayor Peter Davies, a member of the English Democrat party and the father of Tory MP Philip Davies, has scrapped all future funding for the annual Gay Pride event....
Davies is only the second mayor of Doncaster to have been elected directly by a popular vote rather than by council members. He campaigned on a popular platform, that has reportedly alarmed the political classes on both the Labour and Tory sides of the House, in which he pledged to "stamp out political correctness" in every area of Doncaster's local government.
To accomplish this, Davies has recruited the group Campaign Against Political Correctness (CAPC) to consult on his planned reforms. A spokesman for the CAPC, John Midgley, said that "people are crying out" for an end to the wave of politically correct policies in Britain. "We commissioned a survey by ICM," Midgley said, "that said 80 per cent of people are fed up to the back teeth with it."
...He also called on the government to withdraw Britain from the European Union "in order to save billions of pounds each year and return control of the country's affairs to our own parliament."
Calling him the UK's "most gloriously un-PC" mayor, the Daily Mail's Robert Hardman asked, "Who should be most worried about his success: Labour or the Tories? Because his message threatens both."

“Controversial U.K. Mayor”
######
That’s funny, I find “Gay Pride” and political correctness in all its disgusting and society-rotting manifestations, to be HIGHLY controversial.
“....people are fed up to the back teeth with it.”
I love that line. I think that it also describes how Americans are feeling about our ever-growing, over-reaching federal government too.... Enough already!
Remember when it was considered controversial to suggest public funds be used for gay pride celebrations?
A mayor with brass ones.
A glimmer of hope....
Michael Savage has an invitation to debate the topic of PC at Cambridge Union.

You can be sure that when they do, they will apply the same diseased counterculture, non-judgmental fascism to pressure anyone who objects:
“What are you afraid of?”
Certainly not a bunch of weak, rudderless cowards in constant pursuit of the current hip thing. But I am afraid of nothing less than the destruction of a morality firmly based on monogamous heterosexuality and the nuclear family, that has developed over thousands of years of human history
“You’re judging others”
Damm right I am. There IS such a thing as right and wrong.
“You are not very open-minded and progressive”
Those are meainingless terms you have coined to put a positive spin on having no moral grounding, no moral code and no principles of decent behavior. You think those things are uncool, but history shows them to be very “hip” in that they are essential to the continued health of civilization.
