I watched this debate on tv about political correctness earlier. This pc, liberal lefty asked how has pc stifled free speech? I thought to myself try and say something that is deemed by the liberal left elite to be racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic or whatever and see what happens? You're jumped on, frowned upon, branded this or that or threatened with the police. As a comedic writer, putting together routines for different shows, I've found myself in the past omitting good stuff because it would be deemed too controversial or I'd be branded this or that for saying it. In essence, I've censored myself. And yet this f###ing bully, cos that's what they are, f###ing bullies, had the audacity to say that pc hadn't stifled free speech. Its f###ing mind control. They've got people second guessing what they can and cannot say in fear of the reprisals.

Aren't you sick to death of looking over your shoulder before you open your mouth?
