It's a PC World

Edward Stourton (of R4 Today fame) takes us throug a journey that looks at both sides of the Political Correctness debate.
I bought the book thinking it would be a good rant on PC excesses but it did manage to convert me to the view that PC does have its place when trying to modify the values and behaviours of a society (think of Germany after WWII).
It did have a good crop of examples of the PC police excesses and daft council proclomations though.
A more thoughtful read than I expected, well written and entertaining.
