Offended? Yes I for one am!

So the Lord's Prayer advert has been banned from being shown in UK cinemas. 

We are a multicultural society but God forbid we offend anyone not of our faith.

What does this say about the country we find ourselves now living in?

If anyone should be offended it's our own citizens whose grandparents gave their lives so we could live in a free liberal society.

I'm not trying to kick up a political storm here but come on, this is England isn't it???

Great thread @jonsie.

So tired of the powers that be and their avoiding offence of our behalf. Yes this is England..or was. We've become a nation running scared at the backlash should we dare to embrace our own beliefs and customs.  I despair ..:smileysad: x

Its shocking that we let this happen.....sadly I can only see this political correctness get worse.

My son (who's 9) isn't allowed to give out Xmas cards in school in case it upsets any children or their parents.

How much can we put up with?

I am getting rather tired of the people who spend their lives being 'professionally outraged' on our behalf. These people telling me what I should and should not do, feel or think. I have a mind of my own thank you..Every day there is something new that causes me to be outraged at these 'outraged professionals' and their intolerance....

....and so it goes on, we continue to pamper to the minorities. Where did it all go wrong?
