 | You know, far be it from me to indulge in Political Correctness gone mad, being as I am the proud owner of a "keeping Political Correctness sane" scout badge (I always wonder whether those who decry the works of PC gone mad have a specific metric for determining the sanity of PC, and wholeheartedly approve of rational, sensible, entirely compos Political Correctness). However, this opening preamble to the Guardian's minute-by-minute commentary of the utterly meaningless friendly with South Africa seems a tad off to me.
Stephen Biko, Herman Charles Bosman, Louis Botha, John Michael Coetzee, Clement Martyn Doke, Ernie Els, Nadine Gordimer, F.W. de Klerk, Paul Kruger, Albert Luthuli, Nelson Mandela, Dave Matthews, Harry Oppenheimer, Alan Paton, Gary Player, Trevor Rabin, Shaka Zulu, Charlize Theron, Desmond Tutu ... will your boys take one hell of a beating?
It's just...you know....Steve Biko did take one hell of a beating. I mean, really one hell of a beating. I imagine Nelson Mandela might have flirted with the sjambok himself, once or twice....although at least he got to meet David Beckham to make up for it.
