It must be really tiring being on 24 hour alert to be offended on other people's behalf. I'm glad I'm old now and won't have to put up with what this will be like in another 10 years.

Clearly you need educating by the oh so self righteous CPM, who seems to know it all.Any chance you can give me an up to date list of words/phrases which have been banned in the last twenty or so years?
I get very confused as there are some words like qu..r that was originally widely used, then it was deemed offensive, but then it came back into general use again.
Another one which causes difficulties to older people is the use of col.ured instead of bl..k.
Who actually makes the decision as to which words are “in”, and which words are “out”. I think we need to be told.
CPM gets his knickers' on a twist
Are you being socially biased to people with braces with that smiley face?.sexist

With respect YB, it is not off topic. The guy allegedly used a phrase which actually was used (far more frequently) years ago, and if he is of mature years, then to him it is an acceptable phrase to use.I think we’ve in danger of veering off topic here. Let’s try and keep on topic and let’s not make it personal.
I went to School and was taught "sticks and stones", what ever happened to that?
Now thats gender stereotypingsexist
Oh I get you. That is why you hear f..k and even c..t on BBC drama far far more these days.The rules haven't changed - the threshold for what the vast majority deem acceptable has.
Have you ever been abused or disadvantaged because of your race? If so I hope you drew fortitude from the 'sticks and stones' maxim.
Agree Duncan the play on words is a mine field,even Fuzzy Wuzzy,yes i know D but just an heads up'A friend of mine who was there heard the man shout this but also mentioned that he was also calling them animals ,so it could of been taken out of context but im afraid there is only one person that knows how it was intended and I cant see how one could be charged .
Let me pls make it clear that racism is a serious matter but just adding my thoughts to what this gentleman could of meant
Fuzzy Wuzzy was Corporal Jones fave term in Dads Army. Had been shown on TV in recent years. Also, the term Honkey has been used on TV in recent years in reruns of Starsky and Hutch. Should i be offended?Agree Duncan the play on words is a mine field,even Fuzzy Wuzzy,yes i know D but just an heads up'
