A hedgehog yesterday in Goring

As Britain continues on it's slippery downhill path to becoming a fully fledged member of the third world, yet another example of the petty madness that is strangling the very lifeblood out of the British public came to light today as political correctness forces another small business to navigate it's way through the bureaucratic equivalent of the Amazon jungle.

Dolph Whittler, a married man from Goring, has been informed by Berkshire County Council that he cannot register his company with them using the trading name Goring Boring Ltd. Apparently, Mr Whittler was told by Francis Adams of the small business advisory helpdesk at the opulent council offices in Reading that the name may cause offence to people living in Goring as the name may suggest their town is a little dull. In addition,

Mr Adams also told Mr Whittler that an EU directive would also be contravened. "EU directive CR5463 specifically bans any reference to former leaders of Nazi Germany with the intention of generating sales revenue" Mr Adams stated before clocking off from his 28 hour work week.

Mr Whittler is now left with no choice but to come up with another name for his company which was to create employment for a number of local people. Before going back to the drawing board Mr Whittler stated "It's political correctness gone mad, everyone knows Goring isn't boring, only last week there was a notice in the paper about how a hedgehog had got caught in the same fence twice in one week"

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
