Politically Correct in the UK

This article reveals to what extremes political correctness has gone in the UK. New Home Office regulations give privileges to transgender inmates. Already the prison guards must refer to inmates as 'Mister' so and so. Now they've got to be more specific because some of the inmates mustn't be referred to as 'Mister' but 'Miss'. The fellas who think they're girls are to be allowed padded bras, make up to cover their beards and separate shower facilities. (all of this courtesy of the British taxpayer of course...) Finally, once they have legally become Jane and not Tarzan they can apply to be transferred to a female prison.



I think there is room here for a fantastic comedy film. One of the old fashioned sort of British Ealing comedies which starred Alastair Sim (pictured) The pitch is--One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest meets Some Like it Hot meets Belles of St Trinians meets Cell Block H. Two guys who are prisoners in a British prison decide that their lives are in danger so they decide to be transsexual and get transferred to a women's prison only to find that the conditions there are even worse. The women prisoners are a nastier lot than they anticipated so they try to get back to the men's prison, only to find that their 'operation' has been planned and there's no turning back. So they have to escape in order to save, ermm, their future.



I'll write the script. Anyone want to put up the money?



Or there is this continuing saga in Britain in which a Christian couple have been denied the right to be foster parents because their Christian faith leads them to disapprove of homosexuality. They've been told that they shouldn't even plan to appeal the judges' decision because they don't have a chance of it being over turned. "There's no place for Christianity within the British judicial system" they were told.



By the way, the same article on trans-gendered people in British prisons adds in a final paragraph that pagans in British prisons already have the rights to have ceremonial robes, wands and days off to celebrate the pagan holy days.



There's another movie waiting to be made: Porridge meets The Wicker Man meets Shawshank Redemption meets Harry Potter...
