What the hell is wrong with us? Political correctness gone crazy..

It seems to me a strange insanity has entered the collective consciousness in the West.

We are being crippled with political correctness.

If we don't wake up and face up to reality, we will be in big trouble.

We may not criticise muslims, black people, asian people, gay people, refugees, disabled people, women, and all the other 'victim' groups of which there are more and more each day, lest we offend them.

We MAY criticise smokers, and persecute them with constricting legislation and personal righteousness.

We MAY, with the same righteousness, criticise fat people, couch potatoes, drinkers and druggies.

But the really important stuff has become unmentionable, secret, unspoken - even if it is true.

If you speak out - it will end your career. Especially if you speak out on behalf of 'white' people.

Sarah Champion forced out of Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet after warning Pakistani men are raping white girls 

Jeremy Corbyn has forced one of his senior ministers to resign after she claimed that some Pakistani men groom and rape young white girls, it has emerged.Sarah Champion, the Labour MP for Rotherham and former shadow secretary of state for women and equalities, was asked to resign after writing an article in The Sun newspaper warning that more must be done to stop gangs of Pakistani men targeting young girls for sex.

The mind boggles!

Going too far

I am alarmed at how far the persecution of smokers is going: how the thoughtless waste of money proceeds in the history of the ant-smoking movement.

Now, all cigarettes are to be hidden from view in case their bright, alluring packaging attracts people to smoking. Shortly, it is possible all the packaging will be dun coloured with no labels, no colour, no allure. What will there be to "cover up"? Milions of pounds of our money has been wasted on NRT, with a poor success rate, abusing and persecuting the millions - MILLIONS - of smokers who have no rights, advertising campaigns, educational campaigns, covering up campaigns and the closure of thousands of pubs - once the hub (and pride) of English life.

Where is this madness leading us? How can we stop it? When smoking has officially been stamped out, what cost a war on illegal smoking? And who will pay the salaries to the thousands of workers in the Ash Industry?

I do not smoke, I vape.

But I feel sick at the idea that lobbyists' insanity can infect our Government to such an extent that citizens are denied the right to physical pleasures in the name of "Health".

Smokers do not cost the  Government a penny - they have paid their dues and more. As our servants, the politicians who wage war on smoking on behalf of a Government funded anti-smoking industry, have gone too far. They know not what they do.
