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.
