According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), John Terry, a footballer, called Anton Ferdinand, another footballer, a few rude words. In any sane world, such an incident would have passed virtually unnoticed and probably have been resolved by a quiet apology and a handshake. Sadly, the world we all now live in is anything but sane.
In today's world of ultra-political correctness and socialist claptrap, Terry finds himself in the dock, charged with some sort of racially motivated 'crime'. When I was a child, one mantra we were taught was 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me'; today, words seem to have gained a far greater level of importance, particularly when used in a manner that the 'thought police' consider to be 'anti-social'.
Worse still, instead of the real police spending time catching real criminals for the courts to try, they waste their efforts investigating social misdeameanours which have been dressed up as crimes by a succession of namby-pamby governments. After months of investiagtion, they then bring the offenders, such as Terry, to court in order to waste even more public money and resources. Apparently, Terry's trial is expected to last 5 days - FIVE DAYS to decide whether or not one footballer called another footballer a few rude words.
Is it any wonder that our nation is bankrupt and our society crumbling ?
