Strictly No!: How We're Being Overrun by the Nanny State
It started with a few nips and tucks to the language in the name of equality Now we are entering an age in which we are excoriated for using the word "lady" or allowing our children to climb trees.

We are threatened by a tyranny led not by a man with a mustache but a battalion of social workers and health and safety executives. Strictly No! lampoons their silliness and reveals the self-interest in PC thinking. .
