Organisers of a village Christmas party have been told they must carry out a risk assessment of their mince pies - or their festivities will be cancelled - BBC News
I'm not sure whether to laugh, cry, or just shake my head at this. I'm tempted to call it discriminatory against pies. Unfortunately, this is the state of the society we live in. I remember being in a lecture and the professor kept asking us to refer to the wipe-board in front of him. After a suitably large number of perplexed looks he explained to us that he'd received a memo that morning telling him it was racist to refer to the wipe-board as a wipe-board. The audience was predominantly white and we could see no problem with it. I spoke to a black student afterwards and he thought it silly.
I'm curious to see how long it will be before I need a permit to walk down the street, or need to file a risk assessment on my shoes before I wear them outside.
