Because political correctness isn't actually correct. When the politics are Neo Marxist identity politics and the idea of being offended make you in the right then you are brainwashing the young. The Hitler Youth were very big on political correctness.

@Macavity So using the words "dinner lady" is mysoginistic is it ? I wonder how many people identifying as ladies who prepare and serve school dinners feel offended by the term. Probably far less than the number of wokers who don't want is used. What better way to feel more virtuous than everyone else than keep changing the use of language, then call them out for using what used to be perfectly acceptable words.
Mankind means people it comes from the proto Germanic word Mann meaning people so man made literally means people made honestly these woke twats need to pick up a book once in a while
Man initially had a prefix in old English. So man was collective and the sexes were women and femen or something. The prefix for males eventually got dropped
Kick your door off, get you sacked and ostracised from society, close your bank accounts, take your children off you, get you a criminal record. It's how it works nowadays.
There's people starving to death in the world, homelessness is out of control and we're heading for a depression. But let's worry about hurting minority groups feelings, the really important stuff.
Yes, just imagine how hurt the feeling of the poor people in Ukraine must be at present. A little more serious than some crazed loon being offended by us not using their unpronounceable and made up pronouns.
What a clever well educated well grounded lad, I wish more young people were like him instead of lisening to social media lunacy. There is to much indoctrination of childrens minds these days.
I saw an article on the BBC once (back when I used to watch them) about waste collection, they somehow managed to find a black woman "waste operative" to interview! It would've been laughable if it wasn't so pathetic.
The SAS may of been told not to use those words. The SAS not using those words is another matter. The SAS are currently "indisposed" at the moment due to still rolling around the floor laughing.
So if we have to change this clearly important matter to avoid offending very thin skinned people, can we change it back as many of us find this kind of stuff pathetic and offensive to our choices. I am offended at how offended these idiots are
The "dinner ladies" at my primary school are a fond memory. They were all awesome. No one is taking that away from me, or them. They did a great job and clearly got a kick out of it, by making us behave. They played their part and got respect for it. I still know of one that is still alive today and she is well known amongst my generation. We won't hear a bad word against her. She's a legend.
I always say that if you think what I say is offensive, I'm probably thinking the same about what you have to say which makes us equal and as you believe in equality so much, you should be liking that.
I remember once reading a scout troop being described as "kids dressed as schmucks led by schmucks dressed as kids". I now see that at least part of that definition has an element of truth.
It wouldn't surprise me if the next word/phrase to be banned would be "little girl(s)". - "How old is your little girl now?" - "You can't say little girl any more, the correct term is now non-adult-sized human."
There is no point complaining about hows things are changing and then continually voting into power the same idiots that make the changes! Lets try something new, REFORM

I for one will not be changing the words I use, if I want to offend someone they will know about it. I have been offended about once a day all my life, that's the way life is. Tough. The SAS troopers will never change their language, they may be instructed to, but they will never do it.
Most of these words have become fossilized, meaning that no one still thinks of the literal meaning when they say them. They have come to stand for a concept. So 'maiden name' is recognized by all and sundry as the surname a woman had at birth. Yes, there may be more women now who never changed their names. If asked their 'maiden name' they can say, "Same as I gave you." No one literally believes that women who haven't married are maidens in the sense of 'virgin.' And it's only in the last 50 years that some women have chosen not to take their husband's name in marriage, so it's hardly offensive to ask.
No kids use those phrases anyway?! I've been a teacher for 8 years never heard them once in any of my classrooms; apart from the word dinnerladies and we always had lovely women serving us. Surely the scouts can teach these kids something else that's useful?? Madness!!!
Most people who cry offence aren't offended. They say it will offend others. In reality, those who they "speak out for" want them to shut up. We aren't offended by anything except their patronising attitude!
Does this mean that we are no longer allowed to have nicknames, which, in the main part, were shown as a sign of acceptance? Can I no longer mention splitarses? Or lumpy jumpers?
Maybe our military sould use inclusive language, paying special attention to pronouns, so not to affend the enemies in times of conflict. * also, they can ban whatever they want. I'll still use those terms
As a migrant, I love the dry, dark humor with bucket loads of irony that is uniquely British. This won't be possible without the use of colorful language. Guess who doesn't use colorful language... R2D2 😅
As an ex Crab, we referred to the navy as Skates, the army as Pongos. I will now offer my abject apologies to my fellow military personnel for all the offence we Crabs must have caused.
I've got enough things to think about in work and life and don't the added stress of worrying non-issues like this. I will whatever language I see fit and woe betide anyone that gets offended. If don't like it then don't converse with people...Simple...This woke idiocy is all man-made and invented by people who are not dinner ladies and don't have maiden or Christian names.
I've been using these type of words for years . what I see is familiar and logic. man made . dinner ladies . bin men . Postman etc the list is endless. they are familiar comfortable words to me . and I will still continue to use them. I am not changing the words I use . ..just because it offends a small few people... maybe they just need to chill out and get a life . ..🤷🏼♀️ 🙄
No one and i mean not one of the men in the SAS will take a bit of notice of this nonsense, if they even hear about it they'll just laugh, as they should of course.
The crux of all of this is 'offence'. Why should I or anyone else care if you are offended? You wilfully TOOK that offence, I didn't necessarily give it to you. Even if I did, what happened? NOTHING. You didn't need urgent medical assistance, it hasn't cost you anything and it isn't going to kill you. Nothing happened, you were just a bit huffy for a minute or so. Grow up. I will carry on using all of the language and terms that I was taught and picked up at school, in the eighties, if any of it offends you I couldn't give a toss!
Cultural and political Kommissars at work through institutions. There's a reason government isn't intervening. Mostly because there are no paying companys who want to lobby against it but also there aren't many rational thinkers in politics who don't prioritise their own careers first rather than the issues.
I am totally baffled by all this and clueless as to why we pander to minorities. People often say to me” you can’t say that” I reply “who says”. Sod em all.
Yes, the SAS need to deal sensitively with those terrorists they have to deal with. This will make them more able and won't lead to any diminution of their abilities. Who are the nonentities who dare to dictate what we think and how we act? Just ignore them. They are not worthy of anybody's attention.
As someone who considers myself to be of the political left, I don't regard any of this nonsense as being the preserve of any kind of 'left' that represents my beliefs. We need to take politics out of this BS and simply speak of it in terms of logic and common sense.
It's an Americanism to slander anything you don't like as 'left' or 'lefties'. It's part of the McCarthy witch-hunting... Ask any American 'what is a lefty?' And they won't be able to answer you. I know, I've tried it. (It's a great wind-up) 😉
That’s just denial of the highest order. This BS comes almost exclusively from the left, cheered on by the self-loathing, spineless wet wipes, that have crawled out from under a rock, near you. People who regurgitate or fail to stand up to this problem, are the biggest part of this problem.
Nobody but nobody can ban words!... Those words will always exist, and if people stick two fingers up to the idiots trying to "ban" them, then our work is done !...
When people understand that not everyone gets on, they will understand social division, all the way down to indigenous people of countries that don't like people from the next town or village or schools not liking each other, its just how human beings are....freedom of speech is a cornerstone of a free society.
Apparently it is also offensive to those of a delicate persuasion to say “you killed two birds with one stone” you now have to say “you fed two birds with one scone” how sweet! 🥵
The irony of saying "People should adapt their language to not offend others" when many of your viewers don't know the difference between "there" and "their". "Woke" language is the least of your worries.
Even the people like Julia adhere to whatever these people want to be called, despite not agreeing with their ideology. Conservative minded people are way too compliant and civil. The other side are not and that’s why they will win.
The far left is intrinsically pro-active and has been for 70 years the right are intrinsical re active and only get off their arse when the house is on fire
Why shouldn't the Scouts encourage children to use politically correct language?
Because it is a form of mind conditioning to make them dependent on the government and expand state powers as well as controlling freedom of thought.
Because political correctness isn't actually correct. When the politics are Neo Marxist identity politics and the idea of being offended make you in the right then you are brainwashing the young. The Hitler Youth were very big on political correctness.
The Scouts is a Christian organization, steeped in religious iconography. Christians are supposed to turn the other cheek. How can one do that if no one can offend you?

Me mate in the army sent a sc video the other day they were in a class learning what words to use they just think it's a piss take
The world is going absolutely NUTS
Only craphats think like this❤️🙏
If the serial offendees are offended....then who gives a flying toss ?
As a migrant, I love the dry, dark humor with bucket loads of irony that is uniquely British. This won't be possible without the use of colorful language. Guess who doesn't use colorful language... R2D2 😅
It’s time we started saying “I don’t remember giving a fuck” when anyone says “I find that offensive”.
As an ex Crab, we referred to the navy as Skates, the army as Pongos. I will now offer my abject apologies to my fellow military personnel for all the offence we Crabs must have caused.
The woke don’t understand banter. Proud to be an ex pongo or brown job.
Crab how our you from a veteran submariner bubblehead lol
@@Freebird67 That one is new to me but I like it. Ooh you are awful 😀
Of all the phrases mentioned that are so offensive, they didn't include 'fuck off and grow up'. Maybe we should use this one more often.
Best just to laugh at all this poop. Or ignore it.
But my name is Rupert,. My sister is Doris and we both wanted to join the SAS.
I've got enough things to think about in work and life and don't the added stress of worrying non-issues like this. I will whatever language I see fit and woe betide anyone that gets offended. If don't like it then don't converse with people...Simple...This woke idiocy is all man-made and invented by people who are not dinner ladies and don't have maiden or Christian names.
What a class contributor Connor is.
I've been using these type of words for years . what I see is familiar and logic.
man made . dinner ladies . bin men . Postman etc the list is endless. they are familiar comfortable words to me . and I will still continue to use them. I am not changing the words I use . ..just because it offends a small few people... maybe they just need to chill out and get a life . ..🤷🏼♀️ 🙄
I never really knew the meaning of 'the tyranny of the minority' until now.
No one and i mean not one of the men in the SAS will take a bit of notice of this nonsense, if they even hear about it they'll just laugh, as they should of course.
As a member of the monster raving looney party I would prefer that you DID refer to people as looney , it helps with the branding of the Party
The crux of all of this is 'offence'. Why should I or anyone else care if you are offended? You wilfully TOOK that offence, I didn't necessarily give it to you. Even if I did, what happened? NOTHING. You didn't need urgent medical assistance, it hasn't cost you anything and it isn't going to kill you. Nothing happened, you were just a bit huffy for a minute or so. Grow up.
I will carry on using all of the language and terms that I was taught and picked up at school, in the eighties, if any of it offends you I couldn't give a toss!
Well said.
Cultural and political Kommissars at work through institutions. There's a reason government isn't intervening. Mostly because there are no paying companys who want to lobby against it but also there aren't many rational thinkers in politics who don't prioritise their own careers first rather than the issues.
'Companys'? Missed the class on take-off-the-y-add-ies, huh?
@@markfox1545 Pedant.
Totally agree, time for the right to make a stand, stop all this stupidity we have become a bunch of wimps
Something is really going wrong in England. It is getting the same in Canada . This is terrible.
Banning words is the slippery slope to controlling how we think.
Not on my watch!!
This lad is sound as a pound. Well said mate!
I am totally baffled by all this and clueless as to why we pander to minorities. People often say to me” you can’t say that” I reply “who says”. Sod em all.
I was a bin man in the 1960s but the correct term was refuse disposal operative 😀
Yes, the SAS need to deal sensitively with those terrorists they have to deal with. This will make them more able and won't lead to any diminution of their abilities.
Who are the nonentities who dare to dictate what we think and how we act? Just ignore them. They are not worthy of anybody's attention.
PLEASE make full shows available on catch up outside of the UK
As someone who considers myself to be of the political left, I don't regard any of this nonsense as being the preserve of any kind of 'left' that represents my beliefs. We need to take politics out of this BS and simply speak of it in terms of logic and common sense.
This is all LEFT.
NOT JUST THE "LEFT", THEY'RE ALL AT IT... MAINLY BY PEOPLE THAT WANT TO TELL OTHERS HOW TO LIVE THEIR LIVES...! INNIT, JOHN...
Maybe it's time the left was left behind.
It's an Americanism to slander anything you don't like as 'left' or 'lefties'. It's part of the McCarthy witch-hunting...
Ask any American 'what is a lefty?' And they won't be able to answer you.
I know, I've tried it. (It's a great wind-up) 😉
That’s just denial of the highest order. This BS comes almost exclusively from the left, cheered on by the self-loathing, spineless wet wipes, that have crawled out from under a rock, near you. People who regurgitate or fail to stand up to this problem, are the biggest part of this problem.
Nobody but nobody can ban words!...
Those words will always exist, and if people stick two fingers up to the idiots trying to "ban" them, then our work is done !...
When people understand that not everyone gets on, they will understand social division, all the way down to indigenous people of countries that don't like people from the next town or village or schools not liking each other, its just how human beings are....freedom of speech is a cornerstone of a free society.
George Orwell was ahead of his time. May he rest in peace.
Apparently it is also offensive to those of a delicate persuasion to say “you killed two birds with one stone” you now have to say “you fed two birds with one scone” how sweet! 🥵
Absolutely stupid 😂. thank goodness for Talk Tv and people like Julia.
The irony of saying "People should adapt their language to not offend others" when many of your viewers don't know the difference between "there" and "their". "Woke" language is the least of your worries.
Your comment makes no sense.
Time this government sorted this stupid mess out,it's so out of hand,it's getting ridiculous
Even the people like Julia adhere to whatever these people want to be called, despite not agreeing with their ideology. Conservative minded people are way too compliant and civil. The other side are not and that’s why they will win.
The far left is intrinsically pro-active and has been for 70 years the right are intrinsical re active and only get off their arse when the house is on fire
Push back on this crap at every opportunity..never let them normalise it,never let it become mainstream.
Just because you're "offended" it doesn't make you right..
But who exactly are THEY and why do we take them seriously?
That's what you get for letting the "national looney party" run this country 😀
We called them 'dinner bags', mainly because they were quite horrible to us.
Let's hope no woke prat expects me to call a woman 'birth person' etc. My mother was my mum, period.
