Nick Ferrari said closing schools due to heat would make our kids soft and was given an abject lesson in reality

Time now to return to the studios of LBC – again! – where the talk station breakfast host Nick Ferrari isn’t happy that the unprecedented extreme heat has seen some schools decide to temporarily shut up shop.

Ferrari reckons this outrageous mollycoddling will lead us to raise a generation of wet wipes. Wet wipes we tell you! But that’s enough of the paraphrasing, here is the man himself.

‘Our children will have no resilience baked into them!’

Every bloody older generation…

Why do older people always think/say “the kids today; don’t know their born blah, blah” “exams were tough when I was young, it’s given on a plate now”.

I’m 70 this coming November & in absolute awe of my grandchildren & what’s expected of them. https://t.co/9fcqvxoq2m

Dogs are resilient, too, but you wouldn’t keep them in a car on a hot day, but kids? Meh!

Someone at LBC/Global needs to pull a blinder here and disconnect the air conditioning for one of his shows this week

See how he likes it

A man who probably couldn’t bend over to pick up a bag of Scampi Fries off the floor in this heat without sweating himself into a puddle, comments. https://t.co/TGuOcl1rLR

In extreme temperatures the brain cannot absorb information making school entirely pointless.
