Another week, another victory for the “safe spaces” brigade, as penguins – once the rugged, free-thinking yeomen of Antarctica – were helped out of a fatal gully with their chicks by David Attenborough’s Dynasties documentary makers.
In an unprecedented move, the crew decided to act. They dug a shallow ramp in the hope that at least some of the penguins would use it to save themselves #Dynasties pic.twitter.com/yRuoEGPDCk

Although it’s far from surprising that the BBC would impose the stifling tools of politically correct liberal orthodoxy on a free-wheeling format once beloved of the English, it begs the question: when did Antarctica, once a hub of stimulation – where innocent animals were encouraged to break consensus and question ideas about their near-certain death in a cruel, corrupted planet – morph into this censorious world spinning to the sinister tune of the progressive creed?
Viewers watched the death of heterodoxy in horror, as the production team of modern day heresy-hunters dug a shallow ramp to help the trapped penguins rescue themselves. Little wonder this generation of endangered species are snowflakes, their minds coddled by such totalitarian displays of compassionate human intervention in the face of the most innocuous “microaggressions”.
The sinister knee-jerk practice of snow-platforming in the face of melting sea ice is now ubiquitous across the Antarctic, where the factory of conformism is in full operation. And the smug witch hunters-in-chief blithely defend their coddling of the penguin mind. “I know it’s natural, but it’s bloody hard to watch,” one whined. “We’ve given it a lot of thought; we’ve decided we’re going to dig a shallow ramp which they will hopefully use.” 2018, ladies and gentlemen.
All of us who saw our formative years in Antarctica learned to simply fall head-on into slippery ravines, without “trigger warnings” beforehand, and never flinched at “offending” any health-and-safety apparatchiks who tried to dictate how to escape to us. We just got on with it, as independent penguins today must be resilient against the bullies who have co-opted the language of “tolerance” and “respect” as weapons in the relentless war on freedom of squawk.
