Mother and Father? No, we can't ask you that, it might upset gay parents, it has to go from our passports, heaven forbid that any reference to the traditional mother, father, child family structure should remain anywhere in officialdom.
It's only recently the crazy Lib Dems wanted to remove details of a holders sex from passports in case it caused embarrassment to transgenders etc, and now the Home Office is to replace "mother" and "father" on passports with "parent 1" and "parent 2".
Of course, who'd have guessed it, it has been decided that asking someone to fill out details of their mother and father is discriminatory, it fails to be inclusive to same sex parents.
Apparently it comes as a result of lobbying by gay rights group Stonewall - who really would be better off devoting their time to doing something about rabid Islam and the threat it poses to gay rights rather than worrying about inclusivity on a piece of paper.
Good luck to Stonewall, brandishing their gender neutral, parent 1 and parent 2 passports and screaming about a victory for gay rights when more and more 'gay free zones, Allah will punish' spring up around the UK.
Shouldn't we add parents 3 and 4 and 5 as well just to take account of tacitly endorsed polygamy, children whose parents have remarried - or embarked on a same sex relationship - since the child was born, thus potentially leaving someone with more than 2 parents! Parent 1 and 2 certainly refers to more than biological parents after all, Adam and Steve can't manage a baby between them no matter how hard they try.
We see the same across the board, all references to anything traditional or majority removed in the aims of appeasing minority.
If minority says they are offended or discriminated against then majority must change, if majority is offended then nobody cares, that's equality.
Most of us have a mother and father, but nobody worries that we might feel offended, or consider that our parents and the traditional family structure are demeaned, by having to refer to them as parent 1 and parent 2.
Everything is minority, everything must be inclusive, minority must write the rules by which majority must live, this is our new Britain. It won't be long until everything is re-written to appease minority, there will be nothing of majority left.

4 people have been detained in 2 days at Poole port for attempting to enter the UK using false passports.
A man and a woman arriving off of the ferry from Cherbourg presented Finnish passports, but on inspection the passports were found to be false.
Officers checking their baggage found a genuine Albanian passport and a genuine Turkish passport.
Both were arrested and handed over to Dorset police.
The following day, again on the ferry from Cherbourg, two men were detained after presenting false Polish passports which would have enabled them to enter the UK without needing a visa.
Both passports were found to be false, and the men were eventually identified as Ukranian nationals.
They were immediately removed from the country and sent back to France, where authorities have indicated that the pair will be prosecuted for using false documents.
"These cases show the type of offences our officers have to deal with at the UK's border. People go to great lengths to acquire convincing documents indicating they are a different person or nationality" said Carole Upsall, director of UKBA South region.

You've got to love the Lib Dems, going from craziness to craziness. It looks like the crowning achievement of their time in the coalition will be to get details of a holders sex removed from passports.
Apparently it might upset a few transgender people, and those who happen to have the genitalia of both sexes, and removing it will avoid potentially embarassing situations at border controls.
Why stop there though? There's so much else wrong with the passport that might upset people, let's overhaul it totally.
The photograph obviously has to go. Women who wear burkas, people from obscure tribes who believe being photographed steals their soul, those with a phobia, the list of problems is endless. Not to mention that a photograph will lead to discrimination by revealing race, gender, and so on.
Age. Definitely not. Ageism can be the only result. Gone.
Nationality. It's discriminatory against those not British citizens, and may hurt their feelings, to have British Citizen plastered over our passports. Gone.
That leaves issue date and expiry date, no problems there, although expiry could be considered a social stigma and will have to be further investigated in future.
And, Name. After careful consideration that will remain, although we did commission a rights committee to study the equality impacts of name as a means whereby gender and ethnicity could be identified.
A further study has been commissioned to examine the possibility of replacing name with a number or a colour coded sequence like a rainbow so that the last vestiges of information which may lead to discrimination or upset can be consigned to history.
The removal of these details has left us with some space.
To replace Nationality there will be an informative, edifying, and uplifting slogan. As a security measure this will vary according to the issue date of the passport.
The first print run of the new style passport will feature "A hate incident is : Any incident, which may or may not constitute a criminal offence, which is perceived by the victim or any other person, as being motivated by prejudice or hate."
Photographs will now depict edifying and uplifting scenes from modern Britain and its culturally rich diversity. Passport holders will be able to choose from a selection of stock images.
So far photographs included are : a Mosque, a doner kebab (halal), Trevor Philips, a gay pride rainbow, a selection of art from ethnic artists.
Further images will be available to choose from soon.
Crazy, isn't it?
Sadly, it does seem a logical end to all this madness, the removal of everything in case it offends or upsets someone.
Shame we can't remove politicians like Lynne Featherstone, and the rest of the Liberal Democrats, from public view and influence because of the offense and upset they cause to common sense and to the majority of the British people.
