HOW OFTEN HAVE you heard someone like me (on the Right in politics) use the phrase 'Political Correctness gone mad'? Well, those of my persuasion should desist from ever using it again. Political Correctness does not go mad; it is mad. Political Correctness (PC) leads to a totalitarian assault on free speech: autocratic impulses runs through it like Blackpool through a stick of Blackpool rock. PC is can only be an evil presence in a society that embraces libertarian values such as free speech. This Orwellian concept of the hate crime is pernicious to liberty. To write or say nigger[1] (as the worse example of many hate words) can end careers and even lead to prosecution. But how many times have I heard the term 'house nigger', or just plain old nigger used by one black person against another with little criticism (let alone a murmur of disapproval) from the liberalista?
They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions: so it has proved to be the case with the ideology of multiculturalism, now adopted throughout the Western World and underscored by PC; and the dreaded legal device of the hate crime. We are faced with a new Puritanism and it comes from the Left[2] this time and not from the Right. It started off as all Leftist political ideologies tend to do, with an idealistic 'progressive' impulse which everybody could agree with (for we all know that it is wrong to use abusive language). But when such well-supported sentiments are carried further than many of those who originally supported the idea intended then PC has gone too far.
Something begins to happen. Soon the use of language is put under a microscope and the PC parameters are widened to contain new additions to the PC lexicon; which in turn means widening the law to include them; behaviour is studied, and it is not long before the knock on the door reminds one of the Stasi in East Germany – you think I go too far; well let me tell you of the experiences of a 15-year-old school boy who, after discussing immigration with his fellow pupils he used the school's computer to brief himself up and went to the Ukip website (his father is a member, and one of the four million who voted Ukip last May, including myself).
JOE TAYLOR was flagged as a political extremist by his school's deputy head master after he clicked on to Ukip's website using his school username to log in. He was reported to the police by his teachers. The teachers claimed to the police that he had been using a 'politically incorrect websites'. Joe was then brought in for questioning by the police. Joe was also referred to a team of experts whose original purpose was to prevent vulnerable youngsters from being groomed by ISIS.
Joe was taken to be interviewed by the police. During his interrogation, he was accused by his interrogator of being a 'Ukip activist' and said he was wrong to have visited the website. It is one thing to bring to the authorities attention, for instance, a young Muslim pupil tracking ISIS on the internet; both for his or hers sake as well as our own. But what the hell were the teachers, aided by the police doing, in questioning a15-year-old for using the Ukip website.
Ukip is a legitimate political party which I have voted for, for the past four years after voting Labour from 1968 when I reached the voting age, to the rise of Gordon Brown. Ukip does not deserve this kind of treatment; especially when it is used to implicate a 15-year-old whose father happens to vote Ukip. Perhaps Joe should be taken away and put in the care of state until he reaches 16.
I CAN ONLY assume from the behaviour of Joe's teachers, that they are Leftists to the core[3] and they consider Joe's behaviour to be in need of a Marxist type form of re-education in the hands of the government's unnamed team of specialists alluded to earlier.
It is truly frightening what is happening in this new dystopian PC world. It is creating a purge of the English language (idiomatically speaking). It is barring all forms of distasteful colloquial expressions such as nigger and faggot. There are many hateful expressions that must be put up with, if we as human beings wish to remain free. Humans can be nasty to each other; this we all know and in time such racist forms will be eliminated without reference to the law. Civil society and only civil society will conquer all forms of prejudice, but only over time when civilisation overcomes these antiquated forms of nasty expression.
Multiculturalism and PC were responsible for the events in Rochdale, Rotherham, where gangs of Asians seemed to have a free hand when they removed children from the street assaulted and raped. The police knew what was happening as did social workers and local politicians. But fearful of PC they all allowed these gangs to go about their nefarious business free from prosecution. In Rotherham, it was even aid regarded that they owned the town.
Jo Taylor was not ignored by the employees of the modern state; he was quickly jumped upon. In Rotherham, a teacher said that children were seen getting into the cars of Asians after school: but such behaviour went unreported by the school. Everybody understood what was happening but they feared what would happen if they did do something. They were scared of being called racists and like the police, social workers, and teachers they kept their mouths tightly shut.
Jo Taylor, on the other hand, had no chance. He was white, and therefore, a right and fitting target for the liberal inquisition. There was no chance of the teachers at his school being charged with racism. But I bet you these same teachers would have behaved in exactly the same way as their colleagues did in Rotherham if Jo had been Asian. A different set of values would then come into force; PC values and consideration of the black spot of racism being given you[4].
We are still in the early stages of a nightmare. When it comes to an end is anyone's guess. All three of this country's main political parties have bought into multiculturalism and because of this we cannot predict an end to the nightmare.
[1] Which, whenever referred to in print has to have four asterisks between the N and the R
[2] I will use the term broadly to include liberals in all the political parties; by which I mean the Left within all the parties
[3] As it appears that vast majority public sector employees are of a leftist disposition; they better predisposed to hunting down bigots than Asian rape gangs.
[4] Although I doubt that young Jo's teachers would have worried about such things; as they are probably vigorous participants in the brave new Multicultural world in any case.
