Lovely bit of prejudice there about the PC brigade Ernie and a total missing of the point.
As I thought you do confuse what PC is - a simple linguistic philosophy of using non pejorative words is all it is.
I like Stewart Lee's definition of 'institutionalised politeness'
Yes, I gave it - the pony was not purposefully drowned and it was an accident. But you were probably too busy tut-tutting at my use of the word pikey, to have noticed that. You probably also failed to notice that I am the only one on this thread who has repeated defended pikeys in an actual meaningful manner. You and Deadly have concentrated on amusing comments about being Irish.
The truth is out there to be discovered if people aren't firstly blinded by their own prejudices.
I dont 'tut' at people ernie. I laugh and point. You haven't defended anyone, you've just projected the 'ernie lynch' ego onto the thread, nothing more. Stop trying to be worldly wise and a bit weary, just be yourself. People are so much nicer without affectations don't you think?
As for my ribbing of DD, hopefully you realised it was tongue in cheek. A lot of people reckon that the Romany are fine, it's the Irish gypsies that are the 'problem'. Perhaps they are part of your PC brigade? Who knows.
DD - I am expecting a series of ripostes, figured you 'get' it otherwise id have pm'ed you or not posted in the first place.
PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD NOW!
