Outdated racial prejudices that may cause offence or something similar in the warning. I've not seen that before. Are we going to see a warning for every possible thing than may cause offence before much longer?

Funnily enough, I have watched a few old films and series recently that have made me feel uncomfortable considering recent events. Enjoyable films etc, I have never given any consideration to before now. Nothing particularly outrageous or abusive, but enough to make you realise how outdated they are.

I hope we are not going to see a cull of old movies and TV series in the name of political correctness, even some newer ones like Mad Men? History is important, I don’t agree with obliterating the past as things moves on.

Having worked within an organisation that had an equal ops policy and where everyone has to do a diversity course it's interesting to watch the rest of the country catching up and recognising what is and what is not acceptable. Recent comments and innuendo's on Strictly Come Dancing by Tess and Bruno towards the some of the male celebrities were cringeworthy and certainly would not be tolerated if they were made towards a female competitor and rightly so. I even find myself questioning the TV advert where male Currys staff wrapped in Christmas paper are unwrapped, thinking how slightly creepy it'd seem if it were a guy unwrapping a female

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong

DD - prior to retirement, I belive you were the Chief Constable of the Surrey Police and I claim my £10 prize.
