about the three little pigs - i suspect you should take anything the Mail publishes with a huge pinch of salt. they have a tendency to blow up and misrepresent nearly EVERYTHING in order to create a panic-inducing and hate-filling headline... if i'm not wrong the three little pigs one is completely false...

@drcrab,
Wife and I saw that '3 little pigs' issue on tv, looked at each other and burst out in laughter. Forgive us but that was indeed ridiculous.

I assume G is well versed with his fairy tales then?

Agreed that S'pore is totally non-PC and in your face when compared to the UK. During one of my visit back home, a sales girl in a reputable shopping mall

yes, PC-ness is killing the UK because we're having to bend over backwards to cater to that vvvvv small minority (who aren't even complaining).
