Ban Christmas?!?!?!?!?!?!

So, now they want to ban Christmas? Incredible!

A Government Think-tank has been sitting round, conjuring up solutions to problems which don't exist again, boys and girls. Apparently, Christmas should be "downgraded" (whatever that means) "unless other religious festivals are marked on an even footing". Who complained, I wonder?

I wonder if these think tanks have ever done any research into the utter rhubarb they think the country needs to know about. I doubt it. Why do they even exist?

We live in a marvelous country with so many different religious and cultural views. Have any Muslim or Jewish citizens EVER complained about a Christmas tree in the office where they work?

Surely, if we are all meant to live together on this little island, we have to be tolerant to the cultural differences we have? I mean, come on, there are a lot of people who celebrate Christmas in this country who aren't even religious. They don't look upon Christmas day as the day the baby Jesus was born. They see it as a day when the family should be together and show love to one another.

"It emerged in 2006 that three out of four employers were not putting up Christmas decorations in the workplace for fear of offending staff of other cultures". Yes, and why is that? Because men in suits who work for the Government tell them not to!

I think this is much ado about sod all. Usually is of course.
