THE BBC surpassed itself this morning with its political correctness.
Listening to the news a police chief was describing the pressure on her force trying to cope with the sudden influx of migrant workers.
They then switched to a reporter in a field who said that the police chief was not saying that the "migrant community" committed any more crimes than the "settled community".
I suppose that's us is it - the settled community?
Is that what we've become?
Why can't we be natives of our own country or better still described as British?
If you were describing the natives of France, you'd say they were French, so what's wrong with being called British, or even English - because that's what I consider myself.
The settled community must fit in nicely with the travelling community (travellers).
It's utter nonsense and I strongly object to it.
Why is it so insulting to non-Brits to describe people as British?
Political correctness is not so much creeping into our society as galloping.
Soon our English language will be completely ruined by nonsense.
Perhaps I should now think of a phrase to describe the people of Warrington without saying where they actually live so I don't insult anyone - Wiganners for instance!
