TheEye has not been able to watch the new on the BBC today. It has been too painful. Actually Sky has been just as bad…for we have yet another report out claiming that women are horribly done by in the world of work.  Denizens of Liverpool can stop reading at […]

As that the original version of the Dire Straits classic “Money for Nothing” has been banned in Canada for being politically incorrect, here’s an updated version of it for the modern era. Might as well burn YouTube’s bandwidth to embed this, but in case the video is pulled there’s a […]

“What about…” is a common cry whenever the insidious spectre of political correctness appears. Every comment thread on the subject succumbs to one of two deaths: Godwin’s Law or “but what about the Black Policeman’s Association”. And in a few entertaining car-crash examples, both at the same time. There is […]

You have to laugh at the political correctness of it all. Britain’s biggest retailer Tesco apologised on Tuesday after complaints that a Christmas card it sold was offensive to people with ginger hair. The card in question shows a child with red hair sitting on the lap of Santa Claus […]

UN “Special Rapporteur” Martin Scheinin recently filed a report with the UN titled “Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms While Countering Terrorism” in which he states that human gender is not a fixed thing but a mere “social construct” that is “changeable over time.” In this paper Scheinin, the […]

…which is slightly ironic as the religion he argues against is the motivation for some people to think about heading in the other direction.

Boris Johnson pens on occasion for the Daily Telegraph; a £250,000pa part-time job the Mayor of London famously described as “chicken feed“. Today he produces a column slating the infamous public sector “non job” industry and and calling for them to be slashed. So far, so sensible. However he’s come […]

From The Local in Sweden (italicised), with a few questions in-line in red: “A 19-year-old woman from Sölvesborg in southern Sweden has had her request for permission to get a tattoo of the national coat of arms turned down by a chief heraldist at the National Archives, local newspaper Blekinge Läns Tidning […]

Ah, political correctness and climate change combined…that two-for-one type of story which saves TheEye effort in covering all the bases. In Australia, a Liberal Party (a Conservative, basically) politician refers to a young leftist politician in an “offensive” manner: “Opposition Leader John-Paul Langbroek has been accused of offending women in […]

While Britain basked in a mini-heatwave with temperatures of more than 90° F, council workers in Milnrow, Greater Manchester could be spotted driving around the town with a cherry-picker putting up Christmas decorations…on a Wednesday in August. A whole 127 days before the big day. Why four months early? So […]
