Outraged protesters swarmed on Whitehall today demanding an end to the unfair language

Pressure groups have begun pressing for the term 'politically correct' to be changed after a new study revealed that a small section of the country feel it is an exclusive and out dated term which has no relevance to them as they have little or no interest in politics or anything political.

Findings from a survey by polling group UKX have shown that at least 0.5% of the nation feel the term 'political' is insensitive to their narrow neutralised views.

The report stated that 'a small number of the thousands of people interviewed expressed a dislike for the term 'politically correct'. Most felt the term did not apply to them and that a constant use of it in the media heigtened their feelings of exclusion from normal society' ©2006 UKX

News that some people feel a little bit upset by the term has sent shock waves through the halls of Westminster sparking rumours that the use of the phrase may be outlawed in the near future.

Senior politicians have been quick to react to the findings. Boss Hog hopeful Gordon Brown expressed his commitment to the blind inclusiveness in the mandate of the Labour party today during a brief press conference.

"I fully appreciate that the term 'political correctness' may be intimidating to some people and for those people this word is not appropriate. I for one would not appreciate people referring to what I say as 'pre-watershed' or such. I am completely behind reviewing and ammending, and if neccessary legislating every aspect of daily life to ensure every corner of the country will be placated and ready to vote Labour come next election."

A think tank has already been established to begin questionnaire preparation for extensive focus grouping to attempt to come up with a new phrase that will allow everyone the right to feel great about themselves. Some early suggestions for a replacement term have been 'lovely and correct (LC)', 'super and nice (SN)' and 'nice of you to say so (NOYTSS)'.

Sceptics of the reports findings have called the latest public hysteria 'a bunch of spastic darky talk' and have claimed the the chancellors backing of a banning of the term, 'is just a stuttering fat jocks slippery scheme to **** the *****'.

Despite these concerns it is extremely likely that the decisions made by the government will continue to be heavily influenced by forceful minorities and engineered focus groups.
