This is a link post Pollitical correctness gone mad and disected NSFW
Bristol City Cuncil have written a guide to having a meeting and managed to create the most politically correct document you will ever read in the process.

This blogger has highlighted and laughed at the worst excesses of this political correctness gone mad for your pleasure.

NSFW due to the bloggers effin' and jeffin'

This is a normal post The phrase "political correctness gone mad"
makes me instantly think of Daily Mail reading cunts who think "It's okay, it's only a nickname from the shortening of his country of origin!".

Checking the comments... yep, seems right.

This is a normal post Sadly this is beyond the normal Daily Mail definition of political correctness gone mad.
In fact, I doubt they have a sub editor sufficiently trained to cope with the sheer lunacy contained in the Bristol City Council guide to having a meeting.

This is a normal post utter utter shite blog
what is the bloggers fucking problem? he should grow the fuck up.

e.g: "But it's only the Disabled people's bitch. Know that, evil able-bodied people."

Why would an able bodied person need an assistant. Also note, they DON'T HAVE TO USE THE ASSISTANT IF THEY DON'T WANT TO it is not fucking compulsory.

also what Rev A-MOL said.

is this guy related to prince harry?

This is a normal post FUCKING HELL!!
You have to give disabled people somewhere to sit these days. ITS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!

Sometimes, you even have to provide tea AND coffee!! ITS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!

If you're hosting a conference of some kind, some people might not want to eat turkey twizzlers. ITS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!!


(although the bit about some cultures making men and women sit seperate seemed a bit wanky. Sorry, Bristol city council...In this country, all people are supposed to be equal)

ALL PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE EQUAL? ITS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!!!

This is a normal post Makes mental note never to use 'that' phrase again on B3ta
The point is that Bristol City Council have seen fit to pay someone or some agency to spell out how to hold a meeting without offending anyone and end up with a hugely patronising and wanky document that contradicts and offends in the process.

This is a normal post I thought the point was that it didn't offend anyone?

Try using their guide to have a meeting that (in their books) will be inoffensive and inclusive to both transsexuals and devout Muslims and you will be pretty stuffed.

In addition, many physically disabled people I know who would find it highly patronising and offensive to make their own way to a meeting to be presented with their own personal assistant for the duration of said meeting to sort out a cup of tea for them.

Again the point on the posting is not the statements on inclusiveness . It is the fact that Bristol City Cuncil are generally shit (see school league tables as a starting point) and should have higher priorities than producing 14 pages of wanky drivel on how to hold a meeting.

This is a normal post reading the actual guide,
it suggests the disabled people are invited to use the personal assistant if they need help at all.
It isn't suggested that they are automatically presented with their own personal assistant upon arrival to do everything for them.

If you think BCC have gone over the top with this sort of thing, you should try reading some of the staff guidebooks presented by Universities and HE colleges on dealing with race/disability etc, this BCC thing is very tame by comparison.

Before your pants snap from teh pressure!

Actually, can I just mention, the only time I remember loving Michael Winner was on Littlejohn's show where he had on 2 lesbians and was trying his best to get the audience to side with him against them, and instead they sided with Mr Winner as he pointed out the Lesbians had twice as much dignity and loveliness than he ever could.

Was a lovely moment!

This is a normal post All this blogger has done is take phrases and made silly comments about them
there's no real structure or purpose behind it, and it isn't written very well either, just straight from his head down into rambling generalisations.
/perosnal take on it only.

This is a normal post It's a blog
What definition of blog are you using?

Is a person not allowed to write a blog straight fro their head? Or are all bloggers supposed to make several drafts and have it edited by their publisher? Sheesh it seems everyone here is missing the point here; this to me seems like innocent fun poking at an overcomplicated leaflet that isnt really going to benefit anyone, paid for by the public.

This is a normal post What a fucking idiot.
Of course a document prepared by the equality team (or whatever they were called) about organising accessible meetings is going to contain that sort of information.

And by the way you can't use the phrase "political correctness gone mad" any more, it's not politically correct as it may be offensive to the differently mentalled.

This is a normal post Several people are employed
on taxpayers money, to come up with different ways of pointing out the fucking obvious.

There are more important issues for councils to deal with.

Is the point, I think.
