I Have Something to Say
It's sad to see my old country become spineless and weak with political correctness.
As much as I abhorr abuse of any kind, Britain has made calling someone a name a hate crime.
The government has forced their policies on the British people causing resentment and frustration over decades, now it's blowing up in their faces, but rather than listening to its citizens, and getting to the core of all this frustration, they just call them haters, and write them off as racists, or some name with the suffix phobe.
When people feel like they don't matter, that no one will listen and understand their side of the story, that the people they elected to represent them care more about not hurting the feelings of immigrants, but could care less about the feelings and welfare of its own citizens, resentment will grow until it reaches a tipping point and all hell breaks out.
When I was younger and growing up in the UK, name calling was rife, it was part of life. I didn't like being called names, but it wasn't a crime. It actually made us stronger to stand up to the bullies. Now, as I've just read in a BBC news report, adults are crying because someone called them a name in passing, and the police say, they will find these people of these sickening crimes. Sickening crimes? Murder is sickening. Rape is sickening. Assault, and cruelty to animals or children is sickening...but calling someone a name is sickening? Please...what happened to the stiff upper lip of the British?
Political correctness brought on by spineless politicians and special interest groups happened, that's what.
