This news item on The Equality Act becoming law in The Daily Express - 'Harman's Equality Act Outlaws Humour' - is so outrageously mendacious Fagburn doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"THE death knell has sounded for the risque joke after new equality laws, masterminded by Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, heralded a new era of political correctness yesterday..."
The Daily Mail - predictably - were in complete agreement; 'Death of the office joke: Coalition enacts Harriet's PC equality law which means ANYBODY can sue for ANYTHING that offends them.'
In The Daily Telegraph, young fogey Ed West calls it; 'The Triumph of Identity Politics and Possibly The Worst Law In English History.'
Only "possibly"?
Meanwhile The Sun reports a sign of the humourless loony lefty fascist state to come; 'Anger At Paul's Gay Craig Joke'.
"MAGICIAN Paul Daniels was last night accused of making a homophobic joke on Strictly.
"He quipped about gay judge Craig Revel Horwood's sausage ads on the opening show of the new series of Strictly.
"But the humour was seen as anti-gay by some viewers. Daniels and dance partner Ola Jordan received just two out of ten from the Australian judge.
"Paul then joked: "Don't give up your day job tasting sausages."
Doesn't look like The Sun could find anyone who actually thought this remark was homophobic - or even thought it was intended to refer to Horwood's sexuality, as opposed to his sausage ads.
Now that's magic!
