Now several ivory tower academics want Christmas and Easter banned as it
may "offend" other religions and ethnic groups.

Ooh, I know.....poor little darlings....can't risk upsetting them, can we? This is precisely the PC bullshit that made me leave the UK and migrate to Australia many years ago, now they are at it too !

Shall we spare a thought for all the non-Americans who had to suffer the hideous trauma of Thanksgiving yesterday? Poor little dears....

Let's not worry about the economy either. After all, the loss in government revenue, from not selling all those nasty mince pies and chocolate eggs, can easily be recouped by further taxing such luxury items as tobacco, booze and petrol.

As for the kids, well they'll all have Ramadan and Diwali to look forward to. Heaven forbid that THEY should be 'offended', eh ?
