BACK in the seventies there were genuine concerns with what was seen or heard.

Out of the need to be multi-cultural and accommodating, Britain since has correctly emerged out of the language and depictions that was readily used in the media or for entertainment.

Today it seems this pressure to conform to acceptability has lost direction and the so-called 'PC brigade' springs up at the slightest turn to sprout some non-existent misgivings in sympathy to sections of the British population.

I wholly agree with R Bryan (LET, November 18) on this matter.

Recently people's conscience has been goaded by undue concerns about topless toddlers on passport photos, Bibles in hospitals, piggy banks in public places, alterations in historical time dating and now the re-naming of festival lights gets the bashing.

I would believe this 'silly brigade'brigade to be just the media and the formatting of reports and it begs the question why such provocative propaganda should be allowed to circulate, whilst belittling the generally sensible and intelligent public.
