Veh good!
Especially the Lefty/Liberal part. Can I add to that anyone who sneers the phrase 'Politically Correct'? I forget when it was invented or why, but the only time I hear it these days is as part of the sentence "It might not be 'politically correct' to say this, but... (insert racist opinion here)".
I get the impression that the term 'politically correct' was coined in the mid-nineties, used for a about a month and then dropped by everyone in the world, apart from the Daily Mail who still use it to this day (along with 'Health and Safety Do-gooders' and 'Brussels Bureaucrats') as handy bogeymen.
