    ...so says the British courts. A girl was abusing her neighbour in a long running feud. Are the courts right? Is political correctness gone to far?
    Would you feel abused if you were living in Britian walking down the street and would you be insulted being called a Leprechaun?

    Personally, I wouldn't rush to court, I'd just whack the person!

    When I was in London in River Island there was a spray to make you sound like an Irishman.

    What is more worrying is ...

    Last year Northern Irish lorry driver Mick Forsythe was given a suspended jail term for calling a Welsh woman, Lorna Steele, an 'English bitch'.

    Had he used the correct term 'taffy' he most likely would have been jailed.

    The minute they stopped us from walking around in our birthday suits the courts had gone to far......

    As for being called a leprachan by a brit....i'd probalbly kick the next minority child I see in the street.....

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
