EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

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!"
