If someone says, 'No, no, no, the earth is round!', they think this person is an extremist. That's what it's like for someone with my right-of-centre views working inside the BBC.
You've probably heard the term, 'red flag warning. ' That means there are extreme conditions. Low humidity, high temperatures. The fuels are extremely dry and volatile.
