Honey	I am very happy to be offended, as long as I am free to offend other people. Only I'm not.

Just admitting you voted for Brexit to a remainer can cause a stir. Just opposing to BLM at a football match can cause a fuss even though FA have it's own Kick It Out campaign.

It is not enough to be against racism; if you don't agree on its increasingly wide and absurd definitions, you are categorised as racist yourself. And of course the same on a growing number of subjects. You get "cancelled". It is a culturally totalitarian and fascist approach that is killing free speech. It is the biggest cultural problem we face, and hard to see where it will all end. How long until Othello is banned and Shakepeare cancelled because some of his characters were racist? Absurd? Hopefully. But it is where the logic of this pernicious and idiotic movement takes us.
