From the Publisher
This book is a rundown on the most ridiculous examples of political correctness you have probably ever heard. It is the first book of its kind on the market and you could keep it to show your children and granchildren and to remind yourself of the most bizarre elements of political correctness long after they have hopefully been consigned to the dustbin of history.

From the Author
Have you always wanted a good come back line for all those who try to wrap children up in cotton wool? Well, did you know, for example, that cotton wool alone caused the hospitalisation of 902 people in 1 year in the UK? Have you seen the warning label on a food mixer which says - Do not place hands in blender when in use - or the label on the household window cleaning wipes which says - Not for personal use? Or have you heard the joke about the fortune teller who had escaped prison? The newspaper headline said Small Medium at Large! If you have not or want to be reminded you will find these and much more in our book.

Customer Reviews

deal for when you are up against the Political Correct mafia at work or at parties.
Here is the ideal book to give to friends and keep you amused for ages. Ideal for when you are up against the Political Correct mafia at work or at parties. The illustrations are ideal for picture framing and joining your collection of famous political cartoons in your study.

You have heard those urban myths about banning of Christmas and golliwogs Well unfortunately for us these tales are all true, read this collection of news stories. It will make you laugh and cry and the idiocy of the political correct mafia, who in their efforts to not to offend, manage to do precisely that.

Though not all it examples, I would agree with, like the actor having to wear a life jacket on a boat during a Trafalgar Day event. The organizers could have got him a less intrusive life jacket, that could have been hidden under his costume. Health and Safety is about thinking about how to prevent accidents, otherwise we would not have speed limits.
In a sense this book does more for the true cause of political correctness than does its mafia, in stimulating us to think for ourselves, rather than pay lip service to those self opinioned so-called opinion formers that are responsible for causing these political correct nightmares collected in this excellent book.

Com mon sense out of the window!
You must laugh at this book otherwise you would cry at some of the ludicrous ideas that have been thought up in the name of political correctness. What happened to common sense and our ability to laugh at ourselves?
