Maybe so. But the creep of ever increasingly loony PC crap is continuous and will get more loony until someone has the balls to stand up to it. I think most of the pc crap you refer to is myth, just like the winterval nonsense that the Times, Telegraph and Mail LIED about.

If you seriously believe that the use of the word 'steal' in the context it was used is racist, then you might as well also believe in the 'racist' PC analysis I gave of the Mail's Palace-Everton report. The left these days is a laughing stock.

It is only in the minds of the politically correct that it has 'negative connotations'. But even if it did have 'negative connotations', is it only permissible to express negative connotations about those people or things on a PC approved list?

Please give it a rest you two - I've no idea what this is all about, but I think its probably time to let it go, for the rest of the posters.
