THE LOONY LEFT
Isambard Kingdom Brunel may have been one of this country’s greatest engineers and a genius, but his penchant for cigars has fallen foul of the politically correct.
Heinemann, the publishers of a 32 page book, The Life of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, aimed at young schoolchildren, has had Brunel’s cigar airbrushed out of a picture of the great man. The original photograph shows him with a cigar firmly clenched in his mouth. The airbrushed version does not.
The English Rights Campaign is unaware of young schoolchildren, 5-7 year olds, taking up cigar smoking.
This episode demonstrates the extent of the intolerance of the politically correct.
