I know. It's just sad when someone just can't see that and tries to
perpetuate their agenda-ridden health and safety polemic when some
people won't have survived the night. Such selfishness and lack of
concern for others is just inexcusable.


Not really, life is all about risk. Is it worth putting out heat
warnings frightening people, when literally one or two may die? There’s
always been a risk of vulnerable people dying in excessive heat or cold.
It is common knowledge and inherent in humans that vulnerable people
should be looked after in excessive heat or cold. The population don’t
need to be told by governmental agencies how to look after vulnerable
people. It's a sense of proportion that has gone out of the window
with the NHS and UKMO. The same lack of proportion from governmental
agencies induces fear and paranoia into the UK population.
