MP Philip Davies on 'battle against political correctness' (Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

We have sadly recently lost a great Yorkshireman - the straight-talking, no-nonsense former press secretary to Margaret Thatcher – Sir Bernard Ingham.

“If the respectful majority is to prevail …. Canada’s decision to rename the Brownies [young Girl Guides] “Embers” since they are “full of potential” – for setting things on fire is going to take some beating.” “The play contains language of violence, sexual references, misogyny and racism. He said they have “long ceased to surprise the common man with their idiocies”. We get evidence of it daily - and worryingly it does not surprise us. It can be done.”

“Society is the first to judge a situation without knowing the facts that lead to my next issue.

She added: “Going to Parliament today was very important for me because I wanted to raise these issues and show people how difficult it is getting around with a disability.” There is a lack of taxi services for people in wheelchairs to prove my point it has taken a whole week to organise a taxi from my home to my local train station to be able to get here today not only that they charge me up to three times more money. “Then the train was cancelled this morning and no direct trains were going, the other trains were transferring at Leeds and with Saffron’s wheelchair it’s really difficult because if the train is running late then it’s difficult to get her wheelchair to the next train in time.”
