Town council refuses to rename "Hitlers Walk" - tells people to get over it - Polidicks

[B]A Cornish village has angered the Jewish community after agreeing to reinstate a sign saying Hitlers Walk. [/B]Mr Daniel said it had been "political correctness gone mad" to remove the sign, which does not have an apostrophe. "It's not offensive, it's just what local people call it." Mr Kurzfield said he would be writing to the parish council to object. "I would urge Jewish people to boycott the village." [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-31072546[/url]

imagine living on the Hitlers Walk my life dream

shut it down

how do you boycott a village?

[QUOTE=elowin;47047314]how do you boycott a village?[/QUOTE] Move somewhere else.

Seems like a strange thing to be so offended by, especially considering it's historical context. It's not like it's called "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong Memorial Park".

The Jewish community can suck a fuck, seriously they're urging a boycott? I'd urge them to get the sand out their cunts.

I prefer Killalljews Lane.

there must be an unwritten rule in British media that you have to feature a story about political correctness gone mad

It's offensive to the same type of people who find what other people do miles away from them offensive. aka cunts Insensitive sure, but if you don't like it, don't go there.

[QUOTE=Robber;47047318]Move somewhere else.[/QUOTE] Seems like a Win-Win to me.

It's only offensive if you let yourself be offended, remember that

"The name goes back to a time before the war when whoever was in charge of the park was a bit authoritarian. "I am 80 and I have always known it as Hitlers Walk.

People will get offended by anything these days, won't they. Have people had it too good for too long and forgot what something that's actually offensive is?
