"When I saw the reaction to the photo, it was obvious to me that this wasn’t a single event. The photograph was the beginning of something. I felt strongly that this needed to be documented. There was no facade, this was genuine." (Simon Emmett).

So now we’re sacking firemen, sorry, firefighters, because they used the wrong word? A bloke who runs into burning buildings, drags people out, saves actual lives. The crime that finally does him in is not policing pronouns at the fire station. Someone even walked away with £52,000. For what? Not a fire, not an injury, a noun. You get more money for hurt feelings than some lads get for risking their lives. This country’s gone completely mad. We can’t put criminals in prison, can’t afford to fix anything, ambulances take six hours to turn up but the one thing we’re absolutely elite at is punishing people for speaking English the way normal humans speak it. This isn’t fairness. It’s not even equality. It’s state-sanctioned emotional daycare. If saving lives isn’t enough to survive in the modern UK workplace, what chance has anyone else got? We used to respect people who did dangerous jobs. Now we’re ruining their careers because a committee somewhere decided language has feelings. Honestly, we’re not a serious country anymore. 🐕🇬🇧💨
