The British "nanny state" is at it again

Here in England a heatwave has been forecast prompting the Government to issue a "heat health" warning. Seriously! Part of the warning is to keep cool and drink plenty. Surely that's just common sense. We don't need to be told. For heaven's sake just leave us alone

Sounds like you're looking for excuses to complain tbh

@DDonde the only thing I'm complaining about is government interference in our daily lives

@SW-User You're literally complaining about a heat warning. JFC

@DDonde you're missing the point. The government are telling us how to avoid the extreme temperatures that they and generations of other governments are responsible for causing

@SW-User That wasn't your point at all.

@DDonde I'm not arguing with you. I and countless other UK citizens are fed up of being told what we should and shouldn't do , what we should and shouldn't say. Alerts for this , warnings for that. I just want to be left alone by this nanny state. Simple as that

@SW-User People need to be reminded about the dangers of heat, of skin cancer, etc. These can save lives.
