Should Nigel Farage be allowed to say what he wants without being challenged?

Perhaps if someone, when quoting a very old children's rhyme, lets slip a word that really shouldn't be used today, they should be allowed a little leeway?

A shop near us has some lovely gollies in. And I, of course, was the one to say "look at the golliwogs" to the small child in our party.

Nobody batted an eyelid.

I came across this quote from PD James:

'I believe that political correctness can be a form of linguistic fascism, and it sends shivers down the spine of my generation who went to war against fascism'

Mmmm!
