Its not as bad as you both make out the idea of “political correctness gone mad” is nothing but right wing hype. The idea of work based equality and anti-discimination is a very simple and stardard thing to demand. It is up to us (small businesses) to uphold these ideas in our work places because if we dont who will? I agree that extreme political correctness in some cases is “mad” but also very rare. If we take a relaxed view about political correctness then we surely open the door for more serious discrimination

Like G.K Chesterton, a British novelist once said:

“It isen’t that they can’t see the solution. It is that they can’t see the problem.”

Certainly true in this “politically correct” mad world.

Aren’t things hard enough? And then we have to go and complicate them….it’s a mad, mad, mad world. Just have to keep our heads up and keep “fighting the good fight!”

Rebecca, you would not believe the stuff that goes down here in the UK and in the EU. We are so “politically correct” you can no longer talk of your husband or your wife, you have to talk about your partner, in order not to discriminate against same sex couples.

That we are always discriminating against the majority of people is something nobody seems to consider.

I have the same reaction when I go to Australia and I tell people all about these issues, they look at me as I have lost my mind.

Hahahahahahaha! I seriously laughed out loud when I read that headline. You hit the nail on the head here. It is ridiculous and impractical on many levels to suggest not hiring women of \”child bearing age\”–does this lady realize that \”child bearing age\” constitues most of a woman\’s life?! That\’s just silly. While I can certainly see her point in an abstract, black and white sense, the real world cannot (and will not) afford such a ludicrous policy (and I hope I am understanding correctly, that this is NOT currently the policy in the U.K.). What a nice little Tuesday morning laugh!
