OK, so I read it the first time you posted it - still can't see any relevance to Ned Sherrin, though the Wiki entry does contain this gem:

Quote from: Wikipedia
"Philistines", a word which derives its modern cultural meaning (in English - the German-language usage was well established) from him.

Is that what you are alluding to? If so, wouldn't it have been easier to just say so?
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

I can't stand it when that happens  ::)

It's like the "Levi's ad. music" ... no it's not. It's a sarabande by Handel.  Besides, anybody who's anybody knows Handel wrote it for Kubrick's Barry Lyndon  ;)
