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

I’m no fan of our government at all, however, if no warnings were made and then there were some serious incidents a lot would be moaning “why didn’t the government do anything”

I don’t understand why some people get so wound up over this. Has it been blown out of proportion? Probably! Some parts of the UK seen record temperatures, wildfires in Birmingham of course this will be newsworthy.
