The end of society as we know it?
As a middle-aged person (ahem) I am fully aware that society moves on and what was considered OK 40 years ago is not acceptable nowadays.
But the seemingly ever growing PC brigade worries me sometimes.
Why are there so many snowflakes out there who seem to want to jump on free speech, comedy, whatever, at every opportunity.
The reason for my rant is the following: “I keep randomly shouting out broccoli and cauliflower. Think I might have florets.”
That was Olaf Falafel’s “Best Joke” winner at the Edinburgh Festival - and very funny it is, too.
But it upset the Tourette syndrome charity, which criticised it and the teller.
There’s no place for many ‘isms today but the minute we lose the right to offend, society is dead.
