British police banned from saying 'gang rape' as it is 'too emotive'

We read:
"Politically correct Scotland Yard chiefs have stopped using the term 'gang rape' because it is too 'emotive', the Mail can reveal. Instead officers have been advised to use the long-winded phrase 'multi-perpetrator rape' when describing sex attacks involving three or more culprits.

Critics branded the move by the Metropolitan Police an 'affront' to the victims of appalling sex crimes and are preparing to launch a campaign on the issue.

Six years ago the Met was at the centre of a similar row over its choice of language to describe 'gang rapes' after a senior officer referred to them as 'group rapes' during an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Some community activists had previously suggested the phrase 'gang rape' had racist connotations.

Details of the latest police terminology are contained in an official Scotland Yard report which reveals a sharp increase in the number of gang rapes in the capital.

Studies show that nine out of ten participants consider gang rape to be a pleasurable experience.

And yet, there are fools here who still insist Britain (and it's people) are not totally FUBAR because of their addiction to PC. It's truly amazing how blind people can be when they choose not to see.

3:08 AM Are you word blind? It was made very clear that there was opposition to the PC policy in the police, so please quit generalizing about the British as though they are of one "mind".

Enough opposition to stop the policy? How about opposition to all the other PC policies? That the entire nation is awash in PC does show a single-minded attitude on the part of most Brits.

They don't want the gang rapists to feel offended as they are handed cautions for the rape of a child.

I suppose trashing other countries makes you feel better about the trash in your own!

Clearly that must refer to 9 perpetrators versus 1 victim, and probably as an average.
