Hey, it's me. said:

These things are happening wether you like it or not, and just simply choosing to brush it away as mere propaganda is living with your head in the sand. The whole political correctness thing grew out of the Labour Party in 1997 and has grown into the monster it is today. Labour= Left Wing Politics=political correctness.

Err... no

Political correctness was used by Socialists against Communists in the mid 1940's

It had it's main peek of UK relevance in the late 1970's and early 1980's when it was being used by left wing leaning people against right wing bigots.

The obvious example being so called "Alternative Comedians" like The Comic Strip vs traditional stand up like Jim Davidson and Bernard Manning.

This was used by the then Tory government of the day as a bogey claiming that loony lefies were brainwashing toddlers into being gays.

New Labour is not left wing, it's Torylite, It's Low Fat Thatcherism and under Millibland has no chance of being elected (not that they want or need to be).
