Inhaltsangabe

True and amusing tales of the extremes of political correctness, in the style of the 'Clangers' series created by David Mortimer. Wonderful examples of the seriously absurd – wittily presented, usually involving holders of authority taking themselves too seriously and making fools of themselves: the army, city councils, schools, etc.

True and amusing tales of the extremes of political correctness, in the style of the 'Clangers' series created by David Mortimer. Wonderful examples of the seriously absurd – wittily presented, usually involving holders of authority taking themselves too seriously and making fools of themselves: the army, city councils, schools, etc. For example, there's the story of Birmingham City Council, who announced that 'Baa Baa Blacksheep' was racist … and the ensuing (and hilarious) hoo-ha. Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep articulates our inner suspicions about the PC brigade in a masterly manner, providing a welcome and much-needed reality check.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

David Mortimer's pedigree for searching out the moments when it all went wrong springs in the first instance from a failure to master any position on a rugby pitch, despite trying most of them. This enabled him to recognise a hundred and one ways of throwing a match away, and from this position of authority he has since dispensed lungfuls of good advice from the safety of the touchline.
