A focus on political correctness has created a “blind spot” for Islamist extremists to operate “under our radar”, the Home Secretary has said.
Speaking on Wednesday at a counter-extremism conference organised by Robin Simcox, the commissioner for countering extremism, Suella Braverman said the entire concept of political correctness should be eliminated.
In an excerpt from her speech, obtained by The Times, Ms Braverman said: “We have a blind spot in the system. It has allowed certain Islamist groups to operate under our radar. “There can be no place for political correctness in our national security. In fact, I’d like to banish it altogether.”

I'm tempted to say, tell us something we don't know. However, it is refreshing to hear the Home Secretary actually say it.
