Addressing the example - this IS a (possibly the most) widely propagated example of political correctness gone mad in the UK. Just google for "blackboard political correctness". However I can't for the life of me find the original story that led to this (if there was one in the first place)

I find it very frustrating trying to cite commonly known events.
On [[FA Premier League]] someone {{fact}}ed the sentence "UEFA, European football's governing body, lifted the ban on English clubs playing in European competitions in 1990 and the Taylor Report on stadium safety standards, which proposed expensive upgrades to all-seater stadiums, was published in January of that year." What are they asking to be cited? UEFA lifting the ban can be checked by looking at any article on English clubs' participation in continental competitions. The Taylor Report is well known and referred to in any number of places on the web, but despite looking for hours on UK Government sites I've completely failed to find the original document. I eventually settled for citing the 1994 order requiring certain stadia to be all-seater.
