According to a Mail article a group of three black girls is a gang (especially when they're black).

The Mail likes to target certain groups such as travellers, foreigners etc, any ideas for collective nouns they could use? The more pejorative, patronising and likely to provoke a vein in the forehead of a Mail reader the better.

Funnily enough there was a letter in today's Times (following some photo from Cannes of several respected Brit actresses) suggesting the term "A pantomime of dames". Anyway:

A bait of trolls.

A blethering of comments.

A funt (thanks, Charlie Brooker!) of columnists.

A murdoch of journalists.

Oh - MAIL ones: Right.

A shrug of Kardashians.

A sneer of feature articles.

Four brigades?

Perhaps we should identify the regiments that make up the PC Brigade (that would be 3 or 4 battalions, as any fule kno).

May I suggest the North London Pamphleteers, a fine regiment created in 1680 to print and distribute broadsheets supporting William of Orange.
Battle honours include the 1805 Free Nelson the Sailor campaign, the 1812 Anti-American Usage campaign and the 1879 Zulu Campaign which fought against Michael Caine getting a knighthood.
Headquarters are at Starbucks in Finchley.
Uniform - used to be dungarees and printed t-shirts, now expensive glasses and iPads.
