Scottish Tory Boy

On my quick scan of the political blogs I like to to look in on Scottish Tory boy. Given the name, I did hope that it might be a bit of a spoof, but no, fair play to the boy. He genuinely believes in the tory party and takes a fairly moderate view to most things - you don't have to look for on the internet to find the lunatic fringe who insist that Margaret Thatcher is the greatest living Briton. Despite the fact that Annabel Goldie is just about the most grown up member of the Scottish parliament, I still reckon the tories are too far out of the Scottish political psyche for them ever to be a force North of the border again - certainly not before Independence.

Anyway, Scottish tory boy provided a link to what he described as the most ridiculous censorship ever.

My mind boggled as I read the story, I snorted derision, I shook my head in disbelief. I thought this Chief Superintendent Julian Kirby sounds like some sort of poofter, nancy boy who could do with a bit of a thrashing with a birch to bring him to his senses along with that bloody Pete Doherty anyway, just for good measure... hmmm! Maybe not so far from my psyche after all ;-)



Anyway, it reminded me of what I'd always thought was political correctness gone mad, and I'm pleased to say that I managed to find a link to the story of the hospital doctor who failed to get funding due to his IT department banning the word spastic.

This and many more like it on the campaign against political correctness web page - which I have nothing to do with, but I thought that seeing as I nicked the scan from their page, the least I could do was tell you where I got it from.
