If I say anything approaching a racial slur at work I'll get canned immediately. How bad is this problem that in the year 2023 they've only just got around to saying it's not tolerated?
I don't doubt some of the "Blackletter font" and "red top" newspapers are reporting it as something more along the lines of "Looney Liberal Lefty Whitehall Word Witch-hunt", "It's political correctness, gone mad", or "woke propaganda militia bans British words from documents".
