Gaz So why do people have such a hang up on it ? I can understand when people sterotype and that could well be wrong but I dont understand why its wrong for a indivdual to have there own prejudices.

It's just a group of old women getting offending on behalf of unknown people without their permission. The type that write to points of view and come out with things like - "the sex in the programme was over the top, I watched it for 1hour". We have gone over the top on political correctness. If you did get someone who makes a living out of benefits and/or compensation - as they usually go together - then they might try to use this as a source of income.
