Common Sense Mayor - Fighting PC

Common Sense Mayor - Fighting PC

VICTIM OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS?

Ironically the Mayor - trying to get rid of it!

The Mayor of Doncaster is being subjected to an investigation to answer an outrageous charge that his plans to eradicate political correctness would incite hatred.  

It is likely that this complaint (which has already cost taxpayers in Doncaster many thousands of pounds) will be escalated still further and will interfere with his democratically elected mandate to tackle political correctness.

80% of the people of Britain (in an ICM poll commissioned by the Campaign Against Political Correctness) are fed up with political correctness and this figure is consistent regardless of age, sex, ethnicity, geographical location etc. 

People can see that it is political correctness which is causing division in communities and yet the views of this vast majority are constantly disregarded.  In this day and age it is completely unacceptable to divide people up along the lines of their sex, colour of skin etc and treat them differently - it is sexist, racist and very divisive.  Whilst complying with his legal obligations, the Mayor is simply trying to stop as much of this as possible.

We urge all those who want to see an end to political correctness - which is intolerant, bureaucratic and expensive - to support the Mayor in his fight for a return to common sense and sign this petition now.

(Please note that this petition is not in any way party political - we all need to pull together - fighting political correctness is too important a matter for party politics!  Also, if any of the adverts on this page are not to your taste please ignore them as they are added automatically to all petitions!)

Victoria SandersonLondon. UKPolitical correctness distorts reality and allows the delusional and talentless to gain power that they can then abuse. This happens in jobs and across society. The backlash has begun.

On that subject..May 20 is Everybody Draw Mohammed Day, so get sketching and submit your work to the blog and Facebook group!

Kevin DownerDagenham, EssexWe need to stick together and and let the PC brigade know where they can shove their impositions.
John TibbsNottinghamI have been looking for such an organisation as this. Political correctness is nothing more than a sophisticated form of untruth.

Another form of untruth is contained in Jargon, which can mislead even the user of it.
David TomkinsonRochdaleWhat happened to common sense? This seems to be sadly lacking in beaurocrats and those in power. It is claimed that over 3000 new laws have been introduced by the Labour government, many forced on us by the EU. Most of these are nonsensical and should be repealed.

T Ritchie (Sr)DerbyshireIt seems a case of an elected individual trying to establish some reality being hounded out by the British PC establishment.
John EdwardsChandlers Ford, HampPC, not in our country thank you.
Chris Hoad-I'll sign anything which is a nail in the coffin of political correctness. Give us back freedom of speech and the right to express honestly held beliefs, and to use our own terminology in doing so. Stop dictating to people what they should or shouldn't be offended by.

ron jonesliverpoolSo now the Government are putting preasure on Doncaster Council-is this because of the Mayors views ??
All of a sudden an ugly head appears --who instigated the action --some other councils are being run the same so why pick on the one who uses FREE SPEECH??
Be brave show your face and name--if you dare
Peter GollingsLincolnPeople hide behind political correctness when they have something to hide or are too scared to have a reasonable arguement they know they will lose. Scrap it and get back to common sense debates. It's just another form of bullying.
wayne o' connorliverpoolthank god somebody is trying to stand up against this menace, its slowly but surely suffocating the people of this country.
Christopher FlynnChristchurchBest news of recent years is the Mayor of Doncaster and his stance for common sense-not so common, as most of us know. A breath of fresh air and an inspiration to all -and to those who waver in pursuit of this noble and sensible cause (for that is what it has bcome)
