“Sometimes you have to pinch yourself to remember that Britain has historically always been the cradle of liberty. For today we seem to be sliding inexorably into a culture of control which would have been very familiar to the Stasi or the KGB...
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS NOW THE GOVERNING CHARACTERISTIC OF PUBLIC SECTOR INSTITUTIONS such as the BBC and the NHS, along with AN INTELLIGENTSIA DETERMINED UPON A DRACONIAN PROCESS OF SOCIAL ENGINEERING AIMED AT CHANGING NOT JUST SOCIETY BUT HUMAN NATURE ITSELF...
Behaviour such as this has always been a key feature of police states and totalitarian regimes. The Stasi or the KGB gained much of their power over the population they tyrannised by getting people to inform on each other, using such informers to bring forward evidence of 'thought crimes' from private or overheard conversations. Such use of informers sets people against each other in a climate of permanent and corrosive suspicion.
Destroying the trust which is the basis of relationships, it is thus A PRINCIPAL MEANS OF CONTROLLING THE POPULATION...
It is this combination of lunacy and coercion which leads one to think that the land of those great apostles of free thinking, John Milton and John Locke, is fast turning into A NIGHTMARE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE PAGES OF GEORGE ORWELL OR FRANZ KAFKA."
I don't agree with Ms Philips on a lot of things but here she nails it one hundred percent.

Given that she is a Zionist supporter, I wonder if she is familiar with her fellow Jews who set up the Frankfurt School from where the idea of political correctness eminated. I also wonder if she is a friend of fellow Jew, Barbara Lerner Spectre, who is active in eliminating European identity and culture, which also requires Political Correctness to carry this plan out.
