British police banned from saying 'eggs is eggs' in case it offended infertile women

We read:
"Police have been banned from using the phrase “sure as eggs is eggs” in case it offends women with fertility problems, a senior officer has claimed.

Writing on a popular online blog, the anonymous whistelblower, said that colleagues in his force had been ordered not to use the expression on “diversity” grounds.

The blogger, who writes under the pseudonym Inspector Gadget, after the cartoon character, is understood to be a serving inspector in a county force in southern England, which he refers to only as “Ruralshire” – “a county in England, not too far from Metrocity”.

In his latest posting, he dismissed the alleged ban on the phrase as “another nonsensical, empire-building, silly, frothy, pathetic and downright insulting example of political correctness gone mad”.

There is one way to stop this nonsense: for everyone to make a point of using the "banned" phrase as frequently and as pointedly as possible (and laughing about it). What on earth can "they" do about it?

Another prime example of the "tyranny of the (alleged) minority" in Western Society.

Because some hypothetical offense may occur, we are all expected to adjust our behavior, even though the demand for such adjustment causes more offense in reality than any hypothetical ever felt.
