I was just going to flick to another page after reading about yet another tax and rate payer funded council wasting our money by producing and distributing a document telling their staff not to use phrases such "Man on the street" and "manning the switchboard" as they were offensive to women and had just thought "plonkers", went to click the Next Button and what caught my eye and made call up Scribefire but this line uttered by a politically correct Council Clown of the Month spokesman;
"We introduced the guide because as community leaders we must be aware of what modern society requires of the public sector. This includes the sensitivity of various individuals and groups, and current thinking in society in general.Community Leaders? Just who does this jumped up jack ape think he is? Get it straight Plankman. You and all the Council Staff in all the Country are servants of the ratepayers who pay your wages. Council Staff are not and never will be Community Leaders.
"It is easy to make fun of individual phrases or words but what we are seeking to do is to be more sensitive and responsive to the needs of others in our society."
Now if you and others like you in Councils have nothing better to do, I suggest you do what you are really paid for. The collection of rubbish. Not the producing of it. Now bugger off.
