To Quote the council Rep "politically correct"
This country gets worse by the day
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/8431483.stm
Quote:
A council spokeswoman told the East Anglian Daily Times: "In particular with John being a councillor we have to be politically correct."
She added: "It is very sad because it is part of the fun of bingo but unfortunately in today's society people take it literally."

Re: To Quote the council Rep "politically correct"
I think this has more to do with the bingo caller being an elected member/councillor than anything else. Members have to follow certain rules/guidelines, and it's the LA's job to make sure they stick to them.
Although in this case it does seem a bit over zealous,
Makes me think of the case a few months back where a Council canteen changed the name of "spotted dick". It's political correctness that isn't needed(is any of it?).

Re: To Quote the council Rep "politically correct"
Political Correctness is like a religion on it's own. one where you can't imagine the Queen using the toilet and deny she had to have had sex to have children

Re: To Quote the council Rep "politically correct"
The thing I found most amusing about this, is that the East Anglian Daily Times sister paper - The Evening Star, put a full list of old style Bingo Lingo on their website.
