A New Type Of Political Correctness Is Sweeping The Land,
it has been called 'geographical correctness phenomenon'
first noticed by the Mail’s Science Editor Michael Hanlon, noting: ‘Scotland (population five million) usually gets about the same amount of airtime as England (52million)’ it was confirmed that the 'L' word should not be mentioned on air by GMTV weather girl Clare Nasir who said there was a lot of pressure not to focus too much on London, in case viewers elsewhere across Britain complain of favouritism, the 39-year- old, who is five months pregnant, said: ‘Almost all the weather programmes are broadcast out of London, but you will rarely find weather presenters saying the word “London”,
although TV viewers have long suspected it, the forecaster finally admitted yesterday that they daren’t mention the capital for fear of getting a deluge of complaints about being London-centric,
so there you have it, PC weather forecasting, I wonder what the PC brigade will think of next, PC traffic reports perhaps?
