I don't get what you mean, here in east lancs, it's just a colloquial term. Generally accepted to mean that beurocrats have stopped using common sense in their decisions ranging from 'where to put your wheelie bin' to H&S.

It's normally used in this type of sentence "And you know what, they're not forcing her to carry the rapists child to term! It's political correctness gone mad!"

It's typically used to trivialise the view that discrimination and prejudice are wrong. It's a cliche and meaningless, and gets thrown in when the argument has otherwise been lost, very often by people who would love to be just a little bit racist/sexist/homophobic, cause a little bit of "harmless" offence, have a laugh at people because of the colour of their skin and not be frowned upon.

It took until this morning for someone to throw in "political correctness gone mad" (or a version of it). You know you've lost the argument when you do that.
