Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

UHSMFT...Smoking was banned in carparks and other outside spaces because in crappy weather (it is Manchester, afterall), people would (and still do) congregate in and around entrances to smoke, meaning that everyone who walked in or out of any of the buildings would have to walk through a cloud of second hand smoke.
Plus NHS trust are encouraged to "actively promote stopping smoking", since prevention is cheaper than treating the results, so can not have designated smoking areas.
