Politically Correct London

Via Instapundit: Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make: London is becoming a global laughing stock. Both intellectually and literally, Londoners are dying under the weight of a virulent dose of political correctness.

Last week, Transport for London pointlessly buckled to LGBT activists and banned the quintessentially British (and universally polite) phrase, “ladies and gentlemen” from its station announcements.

Its replacement – “good afternoon, everyone” – is deemed more “inclusive” and “gender neutral,” although even that might offend those with multiple personality disorders.

In a city that has recently undergone three terrorist attacks, this might seem like a curious use of resource for its Mayor, Sadiq Khan.

"Good afternoon, everyone" would include dogs so I'm all for it.

This is long - but well worth reading.

Even euro-leftwing feminists are sick of all the immigrant rape and welfare abuse.

Well, that's a more pleasant story for London politicians than talking about Glenfell Towers.

I think it's Grenfell Towers. The low income housing project that progressivism built (and covered in flammable materials). They built that. Yes, they did!

Yep, Grenfell. And we just discussed it longer than the media.
