M5S leader lashes out at 'politically correct' speech

(AGI) Rome, Aug 18 - M5S leader Beppe Grillo has spoken out on his blog against the need to use only 'politically correct' terms. ''We can't speak anymore. Political correctness has transformed our conversations into artificial words of plastic.
  It has emasculated them. Saying what you think has become a scandal,'' he said. ''Death is 'passing away'. Berlusconi is a 'statesman', and not a tax evader. You don't become confused old men, you become 'wise elderly' ones. Humble and socially useful jobs have disappeared. There aren't any blind and deaf any longer: there are just the non-seeing and the weak of hearing''.
