Individual rights cannot always take precedence over collective, social responsibility. Without self-moderation, parks, streets, school yards, public transport, waiting rooms, shops and restaurants would turn into bear pits. Most citizens understand that. Some, however, seem determined to cause disorder in the name of free speech. This book traces the history of political correctness in the US and UK and forcefully argues that, in spite of many failures, this movement has made both countries more civilised and equal.
