Campaign Against Political Correctness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Campaign Against Political Correctness is a British based campaign created to oppose political correctness. The name is sometimes shortened to the acronym 'CAPC'.
[edit] Aims
The campaign was set up by John and Laura Midgley in 2004. [1] It increased its appeal by appearing in high-profile media programmes such as ITV's This Morning. Since its creation, it has had the political support of MPs such as Philip Davies.[2] In 2005 John Midgley claimed that the Campaign had 5,000 supporters, including both those who had joined and those who had donated money or signed its petition.
