There can be no doubt, England is key to the source of the intractable insanity that causes political correctness, and in it's more severe manifestation, Nannyness.
We must not embrace the very same mine set that our ancestors fled from hundreds of years ago,
So be on your toes and don't forget why we're here.

Surely there should be a commission of inquiry encompassing
safety outcomes , Climate Change impact , cost benefit analysis
, national security and mental health issues ( danger induced stress ) .
