Far Left UK Government Proposes Banning "Controversial" Conversations

Yet:

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words shall never hurt me

An old English saying

I learnt those words at my mother's knee around seventy-five years ago. My mother, born in 1911, was raised on a farm. Folks were evidently harder-headed in those days, country folk, anyway. Perhaps because, for most, life was harder then than it is today. My mother left school at 13 to earn a living. She took a job, arranged by a rich aunt, to work as a cashier at William Whiteley's department store in London's West End. 

 

William Whiteley's Bayswater store. Built in 1911,
    it was claimed to be the largest store in the world.   
The building was destroyed by German bombing
during the the Blitz of World War II.
