Hit-and-run victim ends up in a PC trap for calling driver fat

The Times reports:

AN injured pedestrian has complained that she was ticked off by a police officer for using the word “fat” to describe a hit-and-run motorist.

Mary Magilton, 54, said she was simply trying to give the officer an accurate description of the female driver whose car mounted the pavement and hit her at a busy road junction.

Instead of the officer taking a note of her description, he paused and told her she could not use such language to describe an alleged offender.

Mrs Magilton said: “I think this is totally silly. It is political correctness gone overboard.

“They did not even get me to sign a statement. They treated me with such disdain. How can they ever find a criminal if they cannot take a description?”
