Is it pro or anti PC though? It's always been said that political correctness is the tool of the left and the manics are the biggest leftists you're likely to meet so it's quite cinfusing.
@my nothing It's anti-PC from a working-class socialist point of view. Like the dig at 'bilingual signs'; most working-class people in the part of Wales where the Manics are from are monolingual, and some see Welsh signage as a waste of taxpayers money (particularly since these are also areas of high unemployment and social deprivation). And political correctness, with its emphasis on learning and keeping up to date with 'acceptable' language, is in some respects just another way of shoring up the privilege of the educated middle-classes and silencing everybody else.
