POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

[Neville Briggs]

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

I thought; if I looked I would see what was true.
If I reasoned then surely I'd understand too,
nothing could contradict what was just — there.
The evidence showed the reality clear.
O rebellious and stubborn of heart I had been,
truth was what they said; not what I'd seen.

Unless it comes to Clive Palmer or that Jacqui whatsit!

[Maureen K Clifford]

reminds me of a work memo that I received which I queried and received the reply - we know that is what it says but that is not what it means - clear as mud

[Neville Briggs]

Oh Maureen, if I never see another office memo .... I had to go into hospital recently for a procedure and when I was booking in and being handed endless forms to fill in with totally absurd data, I politely enquired of the reception lady if perhaps Sir Humphrey Appleby was in charge of their hospital.
I also helpfully told the lady that if I had to go in again they should not compare the next lot of forms with those of that day, because the answers would probably be different.

Not Clive Palmer, Heather, I find him uninspired and uninspiring. It's one of my old crummy one's inspired by that wonderful novel 1984.

Exactly Neville

Hi Neville,
I can see you have been reading the same meaningless nonsense that I often seem to come across.

Terry

[Ron]

Very succinctly put Nev! The words social engineering seem to spring to mind. Think what you like as long as it's what we tell you to think!

Ron

[Neville Briggs]

And the scary thing Ron, that George Orwell identified, is not just that we should agree with what we are told but that we must come to believe it.

[Heather]

I disagree. And I don't believe you either....

[Neville Briggs]

Read 1984.
