DON’T FORGET TO HAVE FUN

-

SAY it quietly so the vociferous minority of dreary losers jump on another bandwagon - but wasn’t life more fun before the PC brigade took control?

We are being dictated to by a small group of people whose life is so uneventful that the sight of anyone daring to have fun is unacceptab­le.

So let’s ban the glamour - which would certainly not affect any of the PC brigade.

Just look at those protesting in the wonderful Churchill-themed cafe celebratin­g Britishnes­s: what an unsmiling, unkempt bunch of young people.

Obviously protests are no longer events to be enjoyed.

And let’s make Formula One boring - just a procession of noisy cars followed by a cheerless presentati­on of prizes by men in suits.

The F-word - fun - is even disappeari­ng from children’s vocabulary.

Running in the playground, skipping and conkers are far too much fun and have been deemed dangerous.

Universiti­es seem set on removing the fun of debating issues.

It seems that there can now only be one acceptable opinion on any subject.

And why all the uproar over the Presidents Club dinner?

It was simply a boozefuell­ed evening for wealthy men to raise money for some very good causes.

And those hostesses all paid - we didn’t hear them complainin­g.

The girls employed to bring glamour to this event would know how to handle any unwelcome attention.

When will the silent majority say enough with political correctnes­s and being offended? Let’s bring the F-word back into our lives. Darryl Ashton Great Harwood
