I can usually laugh off these anecdotes of extreme dogma but this one has really got to me. Imagine a world where fun was outlawed and we were governed by thought-controlling zealots...
"He said proceeds from this year's event had been earmarked to provide ECG machines for the outpatients and minor injuries departments at Ludlow."
The money has been refused by the no doubt highly paid chief executive of Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust, who said the behaviour was "insulting".
So who pays for obviously desperately needed ECG machines? It won't be this Government, that's for sure.
Namby pamby, political correctness gone mad, were all going to hell in a handcart, Guardian reading dogma, etc etc etc. I bet theres smoke eminanating from Littlejohns keyboard at this very moment.
Can see their point...first you start accepting funding by well meaning student types in drag next thing you know you're taking donations from ISIS and Jimmy Saville.
Better to turn the money away and let patients go without on a point of misguided principle and extreme patronising arrogance than let society degenerate further into the hell in a handcart, degenerate cesspit this country is fast becoming.
Bravo Jan Ditheridge you may well just have saved the last bastion of Britain's moral fibre. #givejananobe
Blokes dressed as birds ceased to be funny in about 1937 so frankly this is a deserved kick up the arse for these bothersome do gooders to up their game.
I think they should have accepted the donation. Then explained privately, that as it is 2017, it could be deemed inappropriate and perhaps next year any money could be raised in a different manner.

Would agree but some people would still be offended by that and bleat about PC gone mad, country gone to dogs blah blah
The fact that these people all had good intentions and should be judged by those intentions, or the fact that pointing that out will lead to me being ridiculed by people on here.
it's not often that you hear charity donations being deemed insulting.
Not what was being said though is it.
Yes it is.
Bunch of humourless wankers.
Us Brits have a tradition of doing stupid and ridiculous things to raise money for charity and long may it continue. People are spending their own time and money to raise money for charity and they have it thrown back in their faces. Pathetic.
Who cares what they do to raise money, as long as it's not illegal?

No the donation was not seen as demeaning.
The way the money was raised was seen as demeaning. Big difference.
Anyway, according to "PC gone mad" rules so often used on here youre not allowed to be "offended" on other people's behalf and none of you is a nurse.

They turned down some money. No one was imprisoned or denied their human rights.
My wife, a senior sister, says it is demeaning and no, don't take the money as it happens. Others will disagree but we're allowed to disagree.

I can imagine all those upset Umpah Lumpahs when Hartlepool try and raise a smile.
The self indulgent trannies should have just thought of a new way to raise money.

Perhaps this is her issue?
In any event, she should actually be getting on with her fecking job and not pissing about on this crap.
